5 days straight of any distance running is hard!  Be sure to listen to your body and take care of yourself.  Way to bring it, though!

Baowolf - 2009-12-12 9:52 AM Hrm weather... well we have a nice ice base with a softer layer of snow on top of that with an ice crust on top of that and then some lighlt powder on top of that which will be getting a little sticky as the temp comes up around noon.  Should make for some interesting running for tomorrow's long.

Not sure how to chart making a snowman, sledding and having a snowball fight with the kids...

Rest day here, may go in the pool with the kids later.

blujay65 - 2009-12-13 5:00 AM Woke up this morning with a swollen and scratchy throat. Don't like when things come up fast like that, so I am canceling my run today and will probably restart tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

a_prl - 2009-12-13 5:01 PM A beautiful, sunny, 70-degree day meant I had no excuse not to run. Got in my first one of the month.... I know, I know. What a slacker!

a_prl - 2009-12-09 10:30 AM i'm having problems with the dark. it's not so so cold here. but how do i run when it's dark out? plus, the dark makes me want to curl up in blankets and not move. where do you guys run when it's dark outside?

brick94513 - 2009-12-09 1:34 PM Oh, btw, a little milestone for me today too:  first ride ever on a tri bike.  I was a little unsteady at first, but caught on.  Rode in and out of aero position only for a short amount of time.

To this point, all my experience-mileage has been on mountain bikes.  This year was my first doing Xterra triathlons.  While I still plan to do Xterra and endurance mountain bike races, I wanted to make the transition to traditional triathlons so I can do the longer distances (HIM,IM).

Thanks.  I was fortunate to stay on coarse.  The 17k portion was actually marked pretty well.  I feel for Roni though.  After reading her race report, she had the worst of it behind her when she made a wrong turn.

Baowolf - 2009-12-13 9:45 PM Oh my long run day for me 20 miles in 1-3 inches of snow average pace 8:30 mpm.  The temp dropped about 12 degrees while I was out there and though my temperature was ok for most of it, started to cool off the last mile or two and then by the time I got home I was shivering.  It took about 30-60 min to get back up to feeling comfortable.  It was a realy tough run with not great footing and then I was supposed to pick up the pace for the last 5 miles.  Well, I was able to keep it faster for 3 of the 5 last miles, but miles 18 and 19 were  much slower.  Just glad to have that one done, phwa.  

That puts me at 86.5 miles run for the month and I caught the spreadsheet up, though thanks for updating this morning Tim.  Is good to be warm again.
