Dayum, I hate when somebody's easy run in freaking snow = my fastest race pace ever.

That is Erika. She lives in Alaska. I think she was running outside in minus 27 degrees farenheit that day. She is not always the brightest bulb in the box when it comes to running outside.( That seems to be pretty common with most of us in this thread). Other than that she is pretty smart.

I'll run after work today, but will do it on the treadmill at home. I may go out to run our hilly road first, it's a 5k out and back thing with a couple of good hills and a couple of long inclines/declines all packed into 3.15 miles. I've been reviewing my running log recently and find a serious lack of hills in my diet lately. Ruh roh... Disney was so flat I wasn't worried about hills, just getting my endurance/pace back after the post-NYC layoff. Now I've got Boston in my sights and need to get serious about hillwork again. But...... it's cold today (-35° this morning, -30° now at almost noon) and I'm sooooo tired of bundling up! I stay warm enough when I'm out there, just find the whole process wearisome. So easy to just go hop on the 'mill and crank up the tunes!

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
On the road again...
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Treadmill intervals today (legs felt good at the start anyway). 6 miles total. 8x400M intervals with 400M recovery between intervals at an 8:57 pace. Intervals run progressively faster starting at 8.5 up to 9.2 on the treadmill. 1 mile warmup/cooldown. It was 35F out and I still hit the TM. Probably makes me the big wuss of the day.

Determination: The feeling you get right before you try something incredibly stupid.
Second straight run in 4°F this morning. Today was 6-miles at 9:28 pace and avg HR of 157bpm. Great weather in the next few days. 5k race on Saturday I hope to run. If I can run it, It will be in shorts!
