Outdoors....

Did my 7 miler outside today before the rain comes.  Glad to be outside.  Wind was coming in from the East so I tried to stay North-South as much as I could to help things.  Looking like rain coming today and possible snow on Thursday. Hopefully not because I want to stay outside.  Spring is going to be here before we know it and then I'll be complaining about running in 70 degree weather.  Nope - no complaints on that.

I've got nothing else for today!!!  Hey - sometimes that happens!

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

    It is pouring outside today. I am checking out a new gym and hopefully will get a run in sometime as well.

    Nice work! Too bad we do not live in the same area. It would be nice to find someone to run with in the wee hours of the mornings!

    virtual 5K complete! 23:15

    I had to do my run on the treadmill today. I awoke to snow on the ground. I am not going to complain though because I actually got a run completed!

    We are supposed to get rain and a little snow tomorrow. I really hope Mother Nature surprises us and keeps the snow away!

    It's been raining here a lot lately, but I will take that over the snow. Glad to here you made it outdoors.

    Well, I ran my 'Virtual 5K' yesterday rather than the actual scheduled Pot of Gold race in Lexington on Saturday. Woke up Saturday to misty rain and near freezing temps which developed into 25 mph winds from the north with over 2 inches of snow already on the ground the hour before the race. Sooooo I wimped out and curled up on the couch with the kids to watch them play video games. Can you blame me?

    Along came a beautiful evening last night and I opted to put in my 'Virtual 5K' run. Slopping through the melting dirt roads, I crossed the finish in 23:44. Which given the condition of the roads, which made it feel like I was running in wet sand, I felt pretty good with my time.
    I have another race on Saturday, The Leprechaun Loop, in Port Huron. Hoping the weather perks up a little better than the forecasters are calling for.

    Stephanie - Yes, I don't believe we are too close. I'd like an early morning running partner but, I don't know, you're pretty fast for me! I'll put your time down.

    Kovas - that's what coming tomorrow for us as well. Darn. Treadmill again!

    Drdave - Nice time especially in those conditions. I'll put you down. I have a St. Patrick's run as well on Sunday.

    Hey I did 3x3mi with each interval at 20:50, 21:04, and 21:04, could one interval count for a virtual 5K? :)

    Laurie - that's Ok, it happens. But to guilt you into it, you did have 2 weeks to do this so that really is lame! :)

    Giraffy and Meg - sounds good! Come on Meg, you can do it!!

    Danny - Sort of. Give me an adjusted time for 3.1 and I'll put you down.
