13 miles in the snow, in the wind, in the cold... but I found $20 on the ground  Bet that won't happen to treadmill runners.

You got paid to run today! *inserts internet high five*!

 

You are so hardcore, but where were your tempo miles?

The splits at 8 mpm were at tempo effort! Kidding.

Actually, I still have my cold, the conditions don't really allow to easily and safely run fast, and I think I have taken my car to go running once or twice in all my runner's life (not counting a couple of races). I really like to keep running simple in an old fashioned way.

I might log my biggest week ever, volume wise. With a cold, in the heart of a cold winter. I like that.

 

I would pay $20 to not have to run in this bullshit.

I get it. But I'm on vacation. I thought about going to the indoor track. I seriously considered it. But the woman was sleeping and I didn't want to start opening the drawers to get all my indoor running gear bag ready. All my outdoor running gear was already outside of the room (I keep wearing it and washing it). So I figured running outside in this weather, as slow as needed, would not be that bad. No pace objective, no heart rate objective, no rush... not that bad.

I was just kidding. But my point was that it's not like I won't run in this cold weather. I have been all week.I just wonder if it pays to try to run fast in it.

and your cold has sure been sticking around for a long time

I'm finally recovered a bit after working night shift, by sleeping 11 hours last night. I'll get out and run a little here this afternoon. Temps are much warmer than most of you(except Docket), so I wont torment you with the numbers.

Ha ha. Same here.

These temps are horrific. Roads are ice. No need to risk a fall. TM for me. 5mi recovery

Oh how I wish I had an indoor track to run on. The wind and cold encouraged me to turn back and finish with only 1.6 miles. The wind gusts had me literally running in place, and I mean literally, not the incorrect usage as a synonym for figuratively or virtually. All the snow blown back across the roads made the footing treacherous as well.
