Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

I was up at 5 then at 6 then finally i got out of bed but went back to sleep after breakfast.

11:15 average pace. Very cold...my legs are numb. On the cemetary sign it said 25 degrees. I got home and weatherchannel says it feels like 15. Yuck..and wind.

I tried wearing different pants today with shorts over them. Epic fail.

so yesterday was a day off. Today I woke up to run only to get a v-mail that my grandpa died. We weren't on the best of terms but I'm still a crying mess. Don't feel much like braving 5 degree weather today. Forgive me running people. :)

elliptical

5:10 run. 7 degrees feels like-1 progressive run 11 minute AP

what to wear? hubbies long underwear pants, nike fleece lined pants, mizuno breath thermo shirt and gloves, smartwoold shirt over that (i like the long sleeves). Mizuno jacket, and my pink underarmour hat with my buff.

I really should knit something to go over my buff. It was just not keeping my face very warm. i don't remember this being a problem last year. And maybe something for my ankles b/c they get cold. I am not a fan of long socks. For some reason they feel itchy. Not that I have never tried the running long ones...maybe they would be better.

5:10 am feels like 21. 11:07 AP And more snow!

My legs felt pretty tired today. but good b/c I rolled out my legs and used the stick last night. I came home and stretched a lot with planks and other yoga poses. Maybe I will roll my legs again tonight.

I don't know if I should even count this as a race. It was a fun run after all and no timing chips or anything. Plus I ran 4.47 miles before it.

I ranwith a friend who is training for her first half. It was cool b/c we got to know each other while talking and walking some of the race. She was having a bad day.

I told her I get the same way with running with someone new--I always run like crap (usually then they never want to run with me again). She said she was nervous b/c I'm fast. I'm like I am not fast!!! LOL

So any who we had a good time and we hopefully will do some training runs together in the future.
