Luke, nice run. You are much kinder about the TM than I. I still can't fall asleep. I'm getting back up for another hour:/

I don't typically like the dreadmill very much, but I dislike cold weather much more.
Took Peanut to the vet, nothing serious thank goodness. Apparently he got one of his claws caught on something, pulled it askew a bit and got a slight infection in the nail-bed area. So antibiotics for him for 2 weeks, and the vet trimmed the bad nail way down. Now he is home sulking in our back bedroom, lol, after being dragged to the vet. Went and ran after the appointment. I thought it would have warmed up by noon, but it was still freakin' only THIRTY degrees actual temp, with a really cold and gusty wind that made the 'feels like' temperature 26. GAAAACK! I still wore shorts, though, and I still ran outside, starting from the Lackland gym. I am glad, however, I packed my thicker gloves and my light pull-down face-mask thingy that converts into a hat if the full facial coverage gets too warm. I just wore it as a hat and was happy to be wearing it with that wind. I ended up doing 3.2 miles. Then after getting back into the gym, I went right into the sauna for a few minutes which felt great after that cold.

Eww. Don't remind me of running at Lackland. It wasn't fun and games when I was doing it lol. My TI used to always say "quit bouncing, you're making me seasick" when I was marching. Oh the memories.
I'm glad Peanut is okay, poor little stinker
8.3 easy
B-Plus, I'm amazed that you averaged 8:12 over 11.1 miles. Wow!
I did my push-ups and ab work. It went more easily than I expected. Either I'm not as tired as I thought, or I'm too tired to know better.
Fuzzy, nice easy run.
I just checked my plan for tomorrow: only 3.0 tempo miles at 8:45 pace. Because I'll be on the TM, I'll set it to 6.9mph (8:42). I'll have time to do everything, running, push-ups, AND ab work, before work. Yay,
Oops. Double post.
B-Plus: What a fantastic 11 miler. At that pace? Nicely done!!!
Luke: What a great run for you today! Woot!
Fuzzy: Nice work on the easy miles today.
Basya: That is a nice little run you have on tap for the AM! Good luck w/the tempo!
9 mile run including a 4 mile tempo at 6:34 pace (too fast)
Basya - Sometimes I amaze myself as well
RMTB - Thanks. What an amazing run you had! That's more like my tempo pace though. That must have been fun. See, you should try a 10k.
Go figure

Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
B-Plus: Thanks! No 10Ks for me. Girl just wants to run marathons...
SIAR: Oh, I MOST DEFINITELY will be. I'll be interested to see how trashed I am. I could've held on for maybe 1 more mile or so. Too fast.
WTH? How do you work out on that?
I was kinda wondering the same thing.
Aargh, decided to take another URD. Seem to be going around. But as the day went on whatever's up in my leg started feeling more like an achy knee than a tight hammy. And while running yesterday didn't seem to make it worse, I would like it to get better.
It's always two steps forward and one step back, isn't it? I think I'll still walk the dogs tonight, then decide tomorrow whether to run easy or rest again.
Zelanie: I'm so sorry. It sucks when things like this crop up. I hope you feel better in a day or two.

I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
I am not that predictable!
I'm not betting. You were home, you were bored. You ran. That's my guess.
