Notes:

  • This week reminded me that I really need to be more diligent about planning my workouts against the weather, work, and the temperature. But mostly work. I tried to take a half day Friday so I could workout that afternoon and had to cancel it because I was too busy. Ha ha ha. Cry.
  • I spoiled myself with so many runs in the preserves this fall – I don’t want to run my boring winter routes at all. I should just be grateful I can run at all!
  • I did a heavy leg-focused strength session Saturday and felt it Sunday am. Even if the roads hadn’t been covered in snow, running would have been so slow! I walked on our treadmill, which we’ve had since 2006 and I haven’t used in over a year. The screen isn’t working, which didn’t bother me, but it decided to start working again during my cool down. Ha!
  • Monthly recap! In January I ran 81.7 miles (16 runs).  My coldest run was 24°F and my warmest was 40°F. I walked 7 times (3 of those with friends!). I did 11 strength workouts.
