Wind. Why? Whyyyy????

Running 3 miles in intense wind when it's cold is awful. Just saying. Thankful Thursday!

Good Morning, Suburbia.

How am I supposed to run 9 miles when the roads aren't plowed? Hmm. Guess I'll have to wait a bit for safety reasons and enjoy a tall mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows in my comfy chair with a super soft blanket and my pup while I watch the world go by. Oh well.

10 Mile Weekdays

This week we ran 3 miles on Tuesday, 4 miles on Wednesday, and 3 miles on Thursday. And it was FREEZING. The highlight was Bradford's birthday on Tuesday, and the requisite creamy slow-cooked cherry cheesecake. The low point was feeling like my eyeballs were frozen open.

I've never been so proud. :-D

Looking forward to a toasty 9 miler Saturday.

Frigid icy scampers

After running 3 miles and coming to the conclusion that my eyeballs were frozen last night, I'm having a hard time motivating myself to go do a 4 miler this evening. Humph.

Wind can't stop Rocky

So When the going gets tough I think about Rocky. And this run today was super super tough because the wind was absolutely insane. Granted it was supposed to be a rest week so the long run was only 5 miles, but after working out for very very long many many days in a row it didn't really feel like a rest. But we can killed it and I'm very proud of us.

39 Degrees

Beautiful morning for a run :)

New kicks! Asics gel nimbus 14

But, sometimes hard work is rewarded! Off to run in the rain, but first, a beautiful picture of the shoes that I hope will get me through my second marathon (and training!) asics gel nimbus 14. Brand new. (Loved my 13s which i am wearing now to go for my rain soaked run.) Super stoked. Hoping to try them out for the 7 miler this weekend! Hard work, dedication!!!
