Hello!
What to get at Running Room's 20% special for winter? I would love a wick away your sweat from your back top or base layer. Is there a suit in the catalogue - like the skin divers? :mrgreen:

Off to do 16 - 18 k on a chilly morning. I am hoping the streets are not icy. My last (& first) long run before the Vegas half.

Just over 7km done. Man that felt good.
Way too long a layover since the marathon.

Got convinced to join Dave's masters swim group last night. Oiy. There's a reason I don't swim with masters - was a tough swim (way way too much kick which I totally suck at) - got in 2400m.

Today - it's frigid here. Currently -20 and a windchill of -30. Size5 and I are running the Sight Night fun run tonight - 8k at 6pm. Should be frosty and 'crisp'. Main goal is just run as hard as we can and we'll see where that ends up.

Trying to find the motivation to get out the door.
10K on the books.

An hour on some of the prettiest trails in Eastern Ontario (IMHO). Beautiful day for a run.

Had to reread it a few times, as I thought you said .... Way too long a hangover since the marathon ... :shock:

Thanks Andy- I'm headed out the door!

I am getting out for a walk/run today, even if it's a walk with the dog. We got fresh snow and my fever has been down since yesterday...

Hold that thought! On a very related subject, this city dweller 'just' discovered a railroad track. Does the shoulder - crushed gravel, not meant for walking/running - with proper trail shoes present an opportunity for trail runners? Trails will ice up, on occasion, so the alternative might be worth it.

Sustain (had a recovery run this AM - as in a 7 week recovery - felt good!)

10.6km done this morning - mostly hills. Feels weird not running a longer distance but 10km is more than my injury is allowing me.

26k this morning, I had planned on 30 but by 16k I could tell I wasn't going to make it home in time for my wife to make her appt. so i cut it short.

First run in tights of the year and it was a tough run, walked up a couple hills, but it was a good anyway.

Boooooohoooooo... I feel my fitness slipping, slipping away... I haven't run since Sunday b/c of my cold, and I tried today and lasted about 3 minutes before I started coughing. I don't know if I'm just being a suck, but I feel like I should wait a bit longer. It's probably not the worst thing in the world for my IT band to have a bit of a break, either, I guess. It's really nice out and it would be lovely to get out and run!! Ah well. I had a nice time shopping with La and RA for a bit!

It's a beautiful sunny day, too nice not to run.

Just a short one for me today, ~5k.

8K "race" in the cold (-22 WC -33). It was actually kind of comfortable as a tempo run and my time (32:27) edged out the windchill reading. Ironically, this winter running prowess earned me a two month pass to the local fitness center where I could run indoors.

half an hour with the stroller bright and early this morning so daddy could sleep in.

The mountains were gorgeous today, we had to run west 'cause the sun was just too bright (what is that large glowing ball in the sky ?) :lol:

This morning I almost wished I had a treadmill... crash had to drag me kicking and screaming away from the heat vent in my entranceway!!!! WOW it was cold outside, but the unbelievable view of the snow dusted mountains with all the trees and the sunrise made it all worthwhile.

I am thinking I might need to use my running room coupon to get some thicker gloves, because neither of my other pairs are working for me!

RobW · Postby **RobW** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 4:53 pm

A very crispy-crunchy 20k this morning. And yes, it was nice out.

Postby **KBO** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 5:30 pm

Snowy, cold day. Winter has arrived. Blech. Ran inside at the Gritty Grotto at the University.10 miles done in decent time. Felt woozy for a couple of hours afterwards, probably from running in circles for so long. ;-)

Two weeks to Vegas, so to celebrate I bought some new running tights at Lulu that have awesome pockets for carrying gels. Now I'm race ready.
