Spinning again!  Found some new muscles in my quads!  Loved it!  Temps are cold again out here.  Mornings are in the high 30's.  I'm going to get up and brave the elements tomorrow morning.  I'm going to get up.  I'm going to get up.  I'm going to get up.  ....

If I say it enough i know I can talk myself into it.

I ended up taking last week off from running.   I think I needed a break.  Ran 2 miles today on the treadmill and did some ab work.  Think I'm going to get back into the gym habit again since it is getting so cold and dark in the morning.

2 hour delay for school because of flooding.  Thought about sleeping in but glad I didn't. Went spinning!

I'm back!!! Seems I took an unplanned Christmas running break (I have been keeping up with spinning classes).  I feel refreshed and excited about a new year!  

Ran 5 miles on the rail trail today.  My foot felt great and so did I!  Saw two young does and they just stood on the side of the trail and watched me run by.  They were probably only 30 feet away from me...kinda creepy.    I used my brand new sweat blanket / seat cover on the way home (thanks to a special pirate that we all know).   Happy days!

Speed work today.  10:43, 8:33, 11:02, 9:03.  Bet you can tell which 2 miles I was pushin' it on.  Felt great to be done.  One thing I love about running in the winter is it reminds me of when I was a kid and how I would feel after playing outside all day.
