Ah, the dreadmill Because of the blizzard here I will be confined to the dreadmill myself for a few days. Maybe I will try doing pickups too.

What? A little ole' winter blizzard is gonna keep you from getting out for a run? just kidding....I'm totally wimping out & staying inside, and the temps are onlyin the low 30's, high 20's. In fact, they cancelled school today, and work was closed...down here in these parts when we have a chance for snow (which never did happen - just some sleet and ice ) they shut it down around here.

Keep on truckin' : )

Thanks! I'm planning on it.

I'm sorry you don't like it. Is it just steady state running like on a treadmill you don't like, or is it just any running in general? It's definitely not a favorite thing for everyone. I've been running for 30 yrs. - it's a passion for me....or a sickness... sometimes I'm not sure which...

[fitoverforty]

I must be out of mind..I'm going to walmart for groceries the day before the superbowl ....in Texas!!!!! (at least I'm not in Dallas) Well I'll just make sure i steer clear of the chip aisle...oh and the beer aisle too.

[fit-fanatic-2025]

If your not out of your mind yet, you will be out of your mind by the time you leave the store.

[Bonnie]

Beer in Walmart ?..theres one thing Usa can do, not sell alcohol in their FOOD stores.

It was mayhem....pure mayhem. But we made it out alive - and I scored some cool running tights on sale for $5.00!! Complete with cool reflective strips winding around the calf. I think I will look bada$$ in them (if only in mind).
Got some Atheno's plain greek non fat yogurt with a little side tray of strawberries - it was only $1.00, hope I will like it. I tried the Dannon greek yogurt last week - yuck. I like the Fage plain non fat - and of course they were out of it today. Apparently everyone else discovered it too. dang it.

Could not wait to get out today for run. It cleared up today, no rain, all the ice melted and it was 56 degrees and sunny when I went for run.

Today's workout:

5 mile road run.
Felt incredible, strong, breathing was good. Kept a good pace, picked it up in places. Now for the bad news...about 2 miles into it, I started having a searing pain across the top of right kneecap. I tried to change up stride, slow down, change sides of the street, nothing was helping, so I had to stop and walk a bit, stretched, started back running, but it would just grip me - I kept thinking "what the hay?" Then as strangely as it came, it went away and I had the best run EVER. I felt fast, breathing was good, pace was good - felt like I could run forever.

It was mayhem....pure mayhem.

Yes, I went grocery shopping tonight - in Wisconsin, Packer territory - and it was ridiculous! I am just glad I was smart enough to go today - tomorrow will be unbearable!

I am green which envy The conditions here are terrible. I can handle cold, but snow over knees i can not overcome. It will be the dreadmill for me at least for another week.

[fitoverforty]

Awww..sorry Edgar!! I know how it is to be stuck on the dreadmill. Hang in there, it will get better soon. How long does winter last where you live?
This should be the last month we have icy/freezing cold weather. Usually we only have about 2 weeks in Feb. where it is really bad - and by really bad I mean temps in the teens, and a bit of ice and if we are lucky a inch or two of snow. Then it starts warming up during the day into the 50's, 60's and down to the 30's at night.
