I was awake at 4:45....but so was the howling wind. 25 mph wind. It isn't cold out (38...27 with the windchill)...but I hate wind so I opted to stay in doors.

I did some ab work and pushups while the dogs attacked me on the living room floor. I think they thought it was play time. I take notes from my husky. If she runs inside than it is too stinking cold!

Yeah...I'm with you on the wind. I don't think I'll be outside running today. We're supposed to get gusts of up to 40 mph. The wind advisory ends at 6 pm, but I don't think the wind will end then!

Are you guys in for a big storm? Are you getting the bitter cold that's finally leaving Colorado?

it is 20 degrees right now with 2 degrees as the windchill. This stinks. I don't think I will run at my usual 6am time but maybe once the sun comes up I will be able to. What am I going to do? Now I'm really searching for a used TM. I had a hard time staying on the road this afternoon!

This morning we were around -10 with the windchill. Yesterday gusts of up to 50 mph.

I'm joining a gym--got anything nearby?

Actually I was thinking about it...I do have a free one or two week free memebership coupon from a race I did a little bit ago.

Are you seriously going to join one? I know after it isn't free anymore I won't go...b/c I have to drive there. I know I"m weird. I guess that is why I like running. IN reality all I have to do is walk out of the house.

Mine is so cheap. $70 for 3 months of membership. The problem with me is that I am also cheap and I will go every day to make sure that I get my money's worth.

My problem is fear...the treadmill sidelined me for a little over a month last year. Something with the way I run on a treadmill (I keep my feet stiffer for some reason) caused some inflammation. But I think part of it was also the shoes. I'm thinking of dividing time between the treadmill and the elliptical at first to keep the tendinitis at bay. Then I'll gradually decrease the time on the elliptical, if all goes according to plan.

I'm going to try to stretch put off joining until after XMAS, because I know Jan. and Feb. are usually the worst with snow and wind, so hopefully next week with not be as windy.

Tracy--that is cheap. Mine is about 50 per month...well there is one that is like 20 or 25 per month but it is sooo gross there. The 50 dollar one is nice...sort of out of the way (not on the way to or from work or any where else that I frequent regularly. so in reality I probably wouldn't go. I think my best bet is my own TM or elliptical. We have weights and stuff in the basement so that would just add to the 'gym'

I think that is how my feet would react if I ran barefoot on the TM. But I think I want to try it anyway!
