Good Morning Everyone,
Just a crappy run for me this morning. Woke up tired as can be, throat was hurting...It feels like Antarctica outside, the 2 layers of tights/pants won't let the legs move..just felt hard...blah blah blah. I'm just a big bowl of fun right now. At least my wiener ain't frozen.
5mi 9:10avg
Looks like the temps will stay frigid through the weekend. Not sure how or if I will do any intervals tomorrow...we'll see.
PRs:----- 5k: 17:48 (2019) 5M: 29:36 (2020) HM: 1:24:37 (2017) Scheduled: ???
Morning Runners & nice work Jay!

Morning! I have Pilates and 6 with 2 @ MP.
Blue, nice RR! Congrats!
ROS, hope you didn't freeze to death.

Welcome back to another fabulous WORK WEEK! I know how happy we all are to have that opportunity.
I swam 2500 yards before work. Run tonight, which will probably be on the treadmill if I can get one with all the resolutioners swarming the gym this time of year.

I decided to "be that neighbor" and add my fuzzy robe to my dog walking outfit. I stayed much, much warmer, and thankfully did not freeze to death (thanks, Docket!). I'm about to go do the same, and then I've got 6 on tap later on the TM. It won't hit 0* til 11am, and I don't think I want to wait that long to run.
Super B****

Man, I'm so glad I don't have a gym membership anymore.
25 trainer miles. Swim tonight, which should feel nice and toasty! (But probably won't.)

With any luck work will go late and I'll get to the gym around 7:00. It's usually pretty cleared out by then.
On January 2nd? Let us know how that works out for ya. lol
Does anyone here do track workouts in 10 degrees?
all the resolutioners swarming the gym this time of year.
Surprisingly not too bad. Maybe they are not so resolved as to get up at the ass crack of dawn to work out, and it will be more crowded after work. Anyway, I was up in the middle of the night, so gave myself an extra 15 min of sleep this morning, but it wasn't enough. And it means I will be late to work, but first day back after a long break so IDGAF. Oh yeah and my boss is still on vacation.
5 miles.

I would if the track wasn't covered in snow.
When I was younger. Gonna be a lung burner!
This. They don't plow any of the tracks that I know around here in the winter.
Did my 6th run in a row in sub 0 temps, not talking wind chill here. It's starting to take a toll on me. The temps are supposed to go up a bit in the next days, but snow
Yesterday i saw a Facebook post that there is going to be a sub 3 pacer at the marathon I'm going to run. The pacer is a reliable guy, too.
Even though it's out of my league, that post got my mind working, you know. Can I do that next year? Could I do it this year? Of course the "this year" is almost impossible, but I'm not closing the door until I race that april HM. What if I could pull off a sub 1:26? That would have me dreaming, and working hard af. But more realisticallly, maybe next year I could do it. Don't want to give up on the sub3 dream just yet
Are we there, yet?
Only if that's the outside temperature and I'm running on an indoor track.
