Another day, Another run

Every time I am able to run outside I realize all over again how much I like running!!  Ran 2.2 miles in 35 minutes today!

Springtime running!

I ran outside this morning!  Yay for warmer temperatures! I set a pretty fast pace at the beginning but then had to slow down.  That's ok though. I ran 1.7 miles in 20 minutes and walked a 5 minute cool down.  Feels good!

Bummer...

Here I am, Monday morning, I have my self all ready to run outside then I look at the thermometer...9 DEGREES out there!! Yikes!  Plan change.  I will be running on the treadmill this morning!  Maybe outside tomorrow.

Still here...

Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged.  I have still been running a couple times a week on the treadmill and am maintaining my weight through the winter which was my goal.  I have also added cross country skiing a couple times a month.  So much fun!!  I really like being able to get outside and enjoy nature.

Cross that off my bucket list!!!

Today I ran my first official 5k race.  It was the NCMC Turkey Trot in Greeley, CO.  I had my personal best time of 37:11!!! Yay me!  The temp at the start of the race was a balmy 15 degrees!!

Getting ready for my first official 5k...

Today I ran 3.51 miles in 48 minutes.  Not bad considering I hadn't run 5k since October 21.  Actually, I haven't been running nearly as much this fall/winter as I did this summer.  But, yay, I can still do it.  It made me feel much better about the fact that I entered my first official 5k which will be run on Thanksgiving Day...

Just the facts...

17 minutes, speed 4.2, 1.06 miles...
