Couldn't have said it better myself!

Looking forward to a beautiful run home this afternoon. This weather always makes me feel like skipping - the snow is still out to look at, but no plans for hats or face masks!

Feeling good this morning. Nice lsd yesterday and pilates (DVD) this morning. I am back on a training schedule (Kingston end of April) , so I don't need to make decisions on my own.

I can be quite superstitious too - especially with clothing! I have worn the same tshirt and hoodie for all of Max's operations. Since it worked well the first time, I am afraid to try something new. Looking forward to a good mid afternoon run home from the PD day today. I love running in the sunshi...

Usually alarm goes off at 6:15 to give us all time to be out the door at 7:30.

But today I woke up at 5:30 - very eager to see if it was a snow day!

I echo your first thought - ow ow ow - but it because I skiied from Chelsea to Wakefield on Sat and back Sunday. Actually I am feeling pretty good for having quadupled my usual ski mileage over the weekend. But man, I was starving this morning! was that the CSM?! I had friends doing it as well....s...

XC ski planned for tonight.

Last night's run felt so free - most of the sidewalks I was on were 90% bare sidewalk.

Have a good day everyone.

Run: 113k
XC ski: 4 times
Strngth class: 3 times

I am happy with the month. I always find it hard to stick with my schedule in January- perhaps I rebel against New Year's Resolutions

A new month = a new start for getting back in my usual routine.
Starting well with a morning run and then a short ski. I love it when the temperature outside is 'friendly' like this!

Thanks for everyones good wishes on Friday. We had a lovely day!

Good morning! Today is miracle Friday for us! Two years ago we were at Sick Kids and my husband was donating one of his kidneys to our son (7 at the time). Everyone has done amazingly well, and we look forward to each landmarks. Needless to say, today's run will be a celebration of life! :D :D :D

Good morning all!
What a crazy slow run home last night - 6k took over an hour due to unplowed sidewalks and having to run football player style through other peoples footprints. I LOVE those character runs when you are just so proud for having done it
Rest day today.

Safe travels!

I have a little red lightning bolt on my weather symbol too, but I am afraid to look - I don't want another cold weather warning!

TM run this morning and then strength tonight.

Short wake up run on the TM this morning - wish there was something better on at 6AM - then I might go longer. Looking forward to a XC ski in the Gatineaus tonight

Quiet day here too. I switched from the Winterman to the Place d'Orleans half, so I think I will take today as a total rest day.
Have a good one, everybody!

This is not a goal race (and it is cold outside and slow, slushy running) so I will not be doing any runs over the 20K in preparation for it. I do like the 13-15K idea the Saturday before , so I will incorporate that in this training. For NCM training I plan to bump it up - mileage and intensity! Th...

I have run several halfs over the last few years using the RR training plan. The last long runs are 18, 18, 20, 6, race. I am looking at the runnersworld plan and it's long runs are 16, 10, 18, 20, 20, race. I was surprised to see that there is no cutdown in the distance the week before the half. Fo...

I have signed up for the goofy for next year

I am taking a sabbatical year from teaching, so I figured this was my chance to do it. I am so excited! and nervous! and excited! and nervous! and excited!

Getting ready for the last day of first-week-back-to-school day. I hope I have enough energy tonight for a run!

Strength class last night - first time in 3 weeks due to the holidays! - and my legs/arms were feeling it when I got up.

Hopefully there will be something good on TV tonight for a treadmill run. A new Office episode would be perfect!

Have fun in Florida!

A few years ago I signed up for a tri because I thought I knew how to swim - I was comfortable in water and had taken lessons as a kid - but I realized during my 750m backstroke that I really did not know how to swim distances! :oops: I signed up for lessons, and I have seen a huge difference in my ...

Happy New Years Eve!

We bought our first hamster today - MC Hammy - and the kids are going crazy telling us everything he does. He is very active, so I may keep him company for a run today - he in his wheel, me on the treadmill! Planning on 8k to end 2008.

dh's birthday is today, so the kids are in full party mode.

I will need to sneak in a run this afternoon for my sanity!

Enjoy your day everyone.

I don't know what is going on with me but I am becoming more and more afraid of the cold, actually I think it is more afraid of the wind chill. treadmill today again.

Quiet day for me - staying home with a run down kiddie - but hoping to sneak in a treadmill run this afternoon.
