I got my wisdom teeth removed on Monday so I've taken the week off. The weather is so bad in Maine I don't think I could have ran anyway. I just went cross country skiing with my Dad - on the roads of my town. I hope I cant get to the airport tomorrow! 

Happy New Year!  I will definitely be running in 2010.

Exactly a week ago I got my wisdom teeth out! First time back running. I was going to run in the morning but all my running clothes & shoes were in luggage that was lost.

Finally got my luggage back and ran 3 miles on the apartment treadmill.

Well, kind of. The transition to more solid food + antibiotics + not having run for a week = intestinal difficulty. I ended up walking for a good 1/3 of a mile just because of the pain.  Ran by a friends house and almost knocked on her door (I should have).

The snow covered side walks are making running much more of a workout, especially trying to go up hills. I had someone suggest yak trax the other day, but I'm not so sure...

4.2 miles in 42 minutes, it's super hard to run any faster. The sidewalks were "plowed" but still are covered with an inch or two of snow in some places. It feels like I'm walking on a slippery beach or some other poor analogy. Hills in this stuff are ridiculous -but fun. My favorite part was where sidewalks met roads and there was a mound of snow on the boundary, built in hurdles!

I did it! I ran in the morning! 

 I woke up at 6:00 AM - the sun doesn't rise until 8:07AM here. I got outside and realized it was snowing pretty hard, if I didn't already have my running stuff on I would have gone back inside.

It was dark, yet glowy, due to the winter/snow/clouds. I still only ran 3.5 scaredy cat miles -this town doesn't believe in street lights so I tried to think of routes that might be lit. I ended up running past a cemetery ha ha.

Another 6 AM run. This time it was dark, a little too dark. I'm not in love with the running in the dark thing at the moment.

No classes today due to Martin Luther King Day so I decided to do another longer run! I felt so good on this run I picked up the pace for the last mile. It was also HOT out today- like 32 degrees :-D   I had to take my hat & mittens off.

9.4 miles 1 hour 24 minutes.

 

I woke up at 6am without an alarm clock so I ate some toast and watched tv in bed until the sun rose. I was going to do this longer run tomorrow, but a bunch of my friends are going out for brunch tomorrow morning so I'll have less time. Priorities, priorities :-D

10 minutes elliptical waiting for a treadmill then 4 miles at 9:30 pace.

My apartment gym is probably smaller than a lot of peoples bathrooms. It barely holds 2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, and one bike. There's also no air in there so I end up dripping. There was a couple in there using the treadmills when I got in, which is totally fine and I was happy to wait. When they stopped running the female kept working out and the male just stood there and watched TV. I jumped on the treadmill, after asking if they were done, and the male started to lean on the treadmill right next to me. He was there for my whole 4 miles! I wanted to ask if they had a TV at home or if he could at least DO something like walk on the treadmill so it wouldn't be so awkward. Almost 40 minutes! Of standing next to me on the treadmill! So close I could have touched him! Gahhh.

Anyway, I wanted to get out of their so fast I skipped my usual cool down and stepped off the treadmill, I ended up slipping off the treadmill a tad. Anyway I said "oopps" to try to shake it off but the guy started cracking up. I called him a <badname> and slammed the door. Problem is, this couple is ALWAYS there when I want to go to the gym. I guess this is the start of me running in the AM again.

 Yes, I over reacted and made my futures even more awkward. I've had a really long week though - I was very much looking forward to running. My roommates and I ended up getting ice cream after :-D They think it's pretty funny. "Hey Beth, I did the dishes, don't call me a <badname>.

I signed up for the Disney Princess 1/2 marathon!!! It's on March 7. I think part of the route goes through the castle. I've always wanted to run through a castle.

After my boyfriend, currently residing in CA, are going on a cruise to the Bahamas :-D I am so excited!!
