We ended up at the olympic oval again today. It was either that or get blown away.  I slept awful last night so I had no drive this morning.  I was able to hang in there and get 6 so hopefully tomorrow we can get back in the groove and start getting our 7 again.  And hopeflly we get to go outside tomorrow. 

Everyone have a great day.

We were able to get out and run outside. I was ready to be outside.  It was a little windy so  the first half was against the breeze, but it wasn't bad, just enough to make the return trip nice.  As always Jody left me in her dust. It was all in all a great run for me and great to get back up to our 7 miles.

We went up to the oval again today to avoid all the snow and blowing snow and cars trying to run us down.  The first have was hard to up the time on, but once I started challenging myself to pass others I was able to speed up a little. Still no record breakers but it felt good to get out and do it. 

I got home and had to run knids to school.   Then I got to play on the 4 wheeler and throw some snow.  Now that the walks are clean and I am frozen I am off to the shower and onto hopefully a great day!!!

It was a cold and windy morning.  As long as we didn't run south we were ok but once you started to run south it was bitter cold.  I was grateful to get out and get our run in and I am glad to be back in out of all the wind.  Now I get to get ready and go out to lunch with a friend. 

Have a great day running.

We went out to get a nice long run in. We decided to loop one of our routes 3 times  which sounded great the first lap was good and the hill wasn't bad at all.  Which it used to do me in. The second lap the hill killed me. But I endured and made it up.  Once we started the third lap that we ended up changing a little to avoid ignorant drivers, I slowly lost ground with Jody. So I decided to cut up a street early.  Oops shouldn't do that she thought I must have fallen, Which I do quite frequently, and she went back to rescue me..  Anyway I chased her for a couple miles and finally we were able to get it done.  I had to add on a little to get my 13 but I did it. That was I believe my longest run to date. So who knows I may not be able to move tomorrow.  It felt great to do it however.

Have a great weekend!!
