No running again today for this Princess

[tink2007]

Mother Nature is not cooperating with my last minute training. I live in Atlanta and we are experiencing a monster ice storm. I don't have a treadmill so no workout for the next few days. I'm going to have to make up for it this weekend.....I hope!
Any Georgia Princess feeling my pain???

We live in western New York state, so can feel your pain!! My wife and daughter ran The Princess Half last year and training is very difficult this time of year-they did a 12 mile run on treadmills during their training! Yuck!! Enjoy the Princess- it's a great event and as a spectator, I really enjoyed it! Being on Main St. USA early in the morning is awesome! I had coffee and muffins while I waited for my girls to run by, then took the monorail back to EPCOT to watch them finish!!

Well, I ran yesterday when it was snowing/sleeting lightly (in Athens) - it was actually a really good run. Then I did skip today's run but did 90 minutes on the bike trainer instead. Assuming the YMCA will be closed for my swim tomorrow I'll probably ride the bike on the trainer again. Then I'm supposed to run Friday and Sunday - hopefully I can make it out for one or both!

Not sure of your experience level, but don't try to make up too much of your missed runs on the weekend so close to your race; you could put yourself at a higher risk of injury just before the main event.

Maybe you could search online for some different circuit routines you can do at home to get a cardio/strength workout in place of your runs for a day or two if you're concerned about the weather keeping you off the road for a few days.

Tink, I'm in Atlanta too! Im only running the 10k, but can't get out either! I ran my long run over the weekend because I didn't want to run it too close to the race. Hopefully we'll be thawed out soon!

It's been the pits! I ran 4 miles today even though I'm sick because the roads were at least halfway clear and we have another storm barreling down on us tonight. Really hoped to get two more runs in before I leave next Thursday but it's not looking good. It was 15 degrees today, which was also lovely.

And here I skipped a few days because after 2 blocks I couldn't breathe in the cold air.

It was in the 40's.

::hides from angry negative degree weather suffers:: LOL
