I opted out of running today...again...as my road is still not cleaned up from the last storm with slush and ice on the sides where I would be running. So, I skiied again today. I made it 6.46 miles before my legs gave out on me. Not bad for the beginning of the season although we need a little more snow to cover the bare spots. My FIL works miracles with the snow that we have so I really cannot complain.

SilverE: 20 miles on the treadmill????????????? EEK.

Good luck to everyone on their LRs and other training. I have a rest day tomorrow and I plan on doing just that!

susan and I managed to get in 10 miles today. 10 slow short miles. ugh! we started when it was 26* and sunny but moved into the trees to stay out of the wind and although we've been done for a few hours now it's currently only 29* out there. have i mentioned lately how much i hate michigan? if lives in florida because i'm moving in with them for the winter months LOL

the paths were snow covered and icy with spots of clean dry pavement. i truly feel for those in Maine and other locals with similar bad running conditions. SilverE not sure how you managed to do 20 miles on the TM, I was in awe ages ago when I saw how many miles Cam does on hers and all Susan and I could say was WOW. I'm really lovin' the TM at the gym but I don't think I'd be able to do that far plus they won't let me someone else always wants it

Poor poor Panda.

Shan stay safe on the TM while on vaca LOL You'll do fine. Bring the music though!

Cecila after a quick reread i see you are in warm GA, I'll be down later this weekend for an indefinite stay LMBO

Warm thoughts and happy training to all!!!! and if all else fails in the weather department....it's ....COCOA TIME!!! with whipped cream of course.

Hello All!

I've been absent for a while and have not caught up on posts yet.

20 miles today....on a treadmill! (as it was 18 degrees and the roads are lousy with black ice.)

I arrived home from the gym, walked out behind my house barefoot and in shorts, and sat down in 5 inches of snow and buried my legs and feet for 15 minutes. After initial screaming, which alarmed the neighborhood kids sledding in our backyard, it wasn't bad. (Buried in snow with shorts didn't faze the kids; I'm known as the Dad who's a little "off" )
Anyhow, I am so glad I have only one more LR (Dec. 21). Take care all and happy training!

Steve: Now *THAT* ROCKS!! True hard core cold-weather runner there. Major Kudos Steve!

Martha: Hope that calf heals and your runs are successful. WTG on the new job...you've just got a few things going on right now .

Cam: Wow!!! Definitely a tough situation there with your 5K. You did it thought...I'm majorly impressed fwiw!

-----------------------

As for me...ugh! Ended up sick all day today . Was supposed to do 8 miles this afternoon....which I had to pass on due to feeling really really lousy. Makes me soooo MAD to miss a run or workout. I'm scheduled for 16 miles tomorrow and hope like crazy that I make a miraculous full recovery!!!! Can't miss the LRs this close to . Good luck to everyone on their LRs and training.

My 18 miler turned into 14 miles after my knee started hurting after about 90 minutes. Only one more LR to go.

Can't wait to hear about everyone else's LR's!

Off to ice this knee.
