First snow of the year, and it snowed on me. I'm so proud :-)

I did a much better job picking out clothes for my run - I was the perfect temperature. A pretty boring run, but sometimes that's a good thing!

I can't believe it's pitch dark at 5pm now! Ran 4 miles on the treadmill, averaged 8 mile pace (with no incline). My goal is to keep up my running throughout finals week (next week) and through the snow storms we are supposed to get.

4.4 miles, 39 minutes, 12 degrees, very windy, and snow covered sidewalks. I was feeling super hardcore until I saw another runner :-D

I should have really ran out side today. It was 30 degrees and sunny this morning! Instead, I felt a strong urge to watch TV so I ran 5.5 miles at the gym of my apartment complex watching the Today show. It might be the only TV I watch during finals week :-P

I was super excited about running outside today, everything is covered in ice though. 3 boring treadmill miles - the other guy in the apartment gym was watching ESPN and doing burpees...

Ran with my much faster running friend again. So much to talk about, but I was out of breath the entire time :-D 

 Beautifuly sunny and 22 degrees

1 mile into my run I realized that I didn't turn off my alarm clock, I doubled back to the apartment to prevent angry roommates (who sleep until 1pm!) I went out again and a bit further than I mile when got a pretty bad side stitch - I think I was breathing too shallow (12 degrees out). My jaw was also frozen, which was worrisome, so I doubled back again to the apartment. I think I'll buy a neck warmer over break.

Ran after my last final of the semester and before my flight to Maine! My first flight was delayed 3 hours, and my second flight was delayed 2 hours. I'm thankful I'm not stuck like a lot of people this season.

3.5 Maine miles with the boyfriend. We just beat the snowstorm that started to roll in.

No sidewalks plowed :-( If they were, they were just solid blocks of ice. I've got to find longer routes in my hometown - last time I was here I couldn't run very far!

Same route as yesterday. 19 degrees. Running in the roads, this time lots of oil trucks though...

I was planning to run in the morning, but it was 9 degrees. I'm on vacation so i just lounged around and ended up going to the gym with my parents at 8pm. They don't stay very long so I only got in 3 miles and a little bit of arms & abs.

I could definitely feel the lifting and running I did last night. It was 32 degrees and sunny this morning so I couldn't miss out. I'm still dripping with sweat though. I think that 20 degrees is the better winter running temperature :-D

Gym with the family again. 3 miles & leg lifts. It's pouring and almost freezing outside :-(

 What a low mileage couple of weeks!

 

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow (all of them?), I don't think I'll be running for awhile...
