5 and done

5 miles on the schedule; 5 miles completed.  Thanks Hal!

Finally, the last two days I have been able to run outside.  It was in the low 20's; WAY better than minus 5 degrees!  I'll be outside tomorrow and the weekend and from the looks of it next week as well.  My first race is coming up on March 20.  I'm doing a half marathon that looks like a great race called the Rock CF Rivers Half Marathon.  It helps benefit Cystic Fibrosis - a great cause.  I' really looking forward to it.  I could not sign up for the 5k I wanted in February due to my work schedule so March will be my first race.

Have a great day everyone and.....Keep Running!

  1. So jealous you have been able to run outside!! While it has warmed up slightly here the roads are still pretty snow/slush/ice covered and I am just not feeling that too much :(

  9. Amazing how the term "warm" changes when the temps get so cold for so long! 30 would feel so good right now!

  10. Do you ever laugh out on a 90 degree run in the middle of the summer when you think 19 degrees is WARM? :) Nice job!

  12. Christi - will do!

    Jill - been there. I think I prefer 90 over -5; 19 I can live with.
