One Step at a Time

Tough run this morning!!!  Why can't people shovel their sidewalks???  The ice is so dangerous!  Snow is just hard work!

Hit a chunk of ice in the road and biffed it.  I was lucky I had enough time to roll, so no major face-planting!!!

My boss and co-workers strongly hinted that I was not welcome at work today if I didn't go running.  I didn't run yesterday and I was a very difficult person to live/work with!!!  So, the general consensus is that I am required to run or I can find another job!!!  LOL ;-)

24 degrees this a.m.  Fairly pleasant!

I'm so tired.  Went to the gym last night - played basketball, lifted a bit, swam 10 laps.

Ran this a.m. at 5:15.  Thermometer said it was 19 degrees, but it felt more like 5 when we were running into the wind.  The snow on the trail was so hard to run in.  Took two minutes longer on that mile!

Despite the cold and lack of sleep, it was good to get up and run.

8.4 degrees -- it was cold!

So much snow -- it was insane!!  Up to my knees in some places.  My poor ankles were cold.  Have to buy socks that will cover my ankles!

Went to the gym in the evening.  Shot baskets for 45 minutes, 300 tummy crunches, 10 minutes stair stepper.

I'm tired!

32.4 degrees, but the wind was so bitter.

Again, lots of snow and ice!!!  Sometimes it was so icy had to walk just to stay upright and not fall into the street in front of the cars!!

All in all, it was a good run.  Got home, showered and crawled back into bed.  I was 40 minutes late to work, cuz I just couldn't pull myself out of bed! 

Very slow run, but the entire trail was snow!  Very difficult going.  Took 22 minutes to go 1.26 miles!  Glutes are killing me.  It was a great workout!
