So last Saturday I have a great run. Feel like I can run a marathon. Sunday I go to the CC Banquet with a slight tickle in my throat and by Sunday night I am sick. Ugh. Was pretty much sick all last week. The weather was perfect, thought Bayly and I could catch up on some running before hunting season started. But no, I just wanted to sleep.

Felt great today. Weather was amazing. I was confined to the truck route, since Ron took all the orange with him. My knees were a little sore, like they always are when I miss 3 or more days, but otherwise it felt really good to move again. :) 

TM 

3 miles@8:41

1 mile@8:00 

Bayly and I donned our orange and enjoyed our last 65 degree day (probably until April). It was a great evening for a run but my legs were really tired. 

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR BRAVE HEROES,  PAST AND PRESENT.  LET US NEVER FORGET YOUR SACRIFICE AND SERVICE.  GOD BLESS YOU.

 Temp 40. Winds 30 mph and gusty. Since it is tough to get a marble to roll in the valley I look at windy days as a "hill workout". :) 

So Bayly and I started out to do 5. We got to the 1/2 mile point and saw hunters by the river. Turned around and tried another route. More hunters. Decided to go home. Total miles 2.5. 

Did 3 on the TM @ 9:00 to 8:00 pace.  Think I will do the 5 mile Turkey Trot this Saturday. 

Three times around the truck route. Temp 27, wind brisk. Snow flurries. I am just not up for this whole winter thing. Like I have a choice. :) Decided to make it a tempo run.

1.8 warm up

1.8 @ 5k pace 

1.8 cool down 

Got sick again. A raging head cold last weekend, by the time I felt like running the weather turned, then Thanksgiving and Tara home. So I decided to just wait 'til everything was done and start again today. 

Weather was not bad. Temp 24, wind from the south had a bite to it. After the first 1/2 mile everything numbs and the rest of the run is good. Had my 4-legged running buddy with me. She was also going a little stir crazy the last 10 days. Running the Jingle Bell Run next week.

Got the Christmas tree today, decorations are up and shopping is done. Yea! Now I can sit back and bask in Christmas spirit. :) 

Temp. 40. Had to run today. To nice not too. 

Wind was howling at 40mph. Windchill is somewhere below 0. Once it gets below 0 it doesn't really matter how far, cuz it is beyond cold. 3 inches of fresh snow and all of it is in our drive way! I am soo not into winter this year. From here on out the roads will be like a skating rink. And so begins my love/hate relationship with the treadmill. I am going to have to get some new music if I am going to spend as much time on it as I did last winter. I'll have to get outside as much as possible, just for my sanity. Ugh! 

3 1/2 miles @ 8:34

1 1/2 miles @ 8:00
