      As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

                  That is a really good idea!  We actually have one of those nearby I just have never gone and  checked it out. Hmm...

                      Ach, Fuzzy, I know! I was planning to rest for a few days and get back to running on Monday in Minneapolis, but oof. They say it'll be the coldest air we see this season. They better be right.

                        I have used my treadmill more in the last 4 weeks that I have total for any winter

                        since we bought it in 2005. Our winter has been relentlessly cold and or snowing.

                        I have always detested the treadmill but last night after my 6 miles I actually said

                        to hubby that the more I use it the less I detest it OR I am just resigned to the fact

                        that this is what I need to do this year to get me to  my spring marathon.

                        Really hoping for some outdoor runs next week but not dreading and putting off the

                        treadmill runs until 9pm or 10pm like I used to. Smile

                          I hope they are right as well. It does look like it will be back to normal or slightly above normal temps by the end of next week.

                            Mine is actually very nice and I shouldn't complain.  It's around an Olympic sized speed-skating oval so it's perfectly 50 degrees and at about 3.5 laps / mile it's actually not too draining mentally.  It allows me to get in some speed work in the winter (and to be a wimp when it's just really cold and windy and miserable outside).

                              I am very happy I decided not to run a spring marathon this year.  If the weather had been like this last year, I don't know how I would have managed.

                                This is winter as I remember it growing up. The last 5-8 years had been weirdly mild. We've had your temperature the last few weeks, Beth, and all I can say is: yep, that's what winter is like. Thank God for good heating systems.
