I woke up at7 hoping to get in a long run. It was -4 at the time...a few hours later it went to -11. Now it is too late to go (I have to work at night) and it is still below zero. I worked out on my elliptical for 35 minutes...or 8 miles ....hahahah...I wish I was that fast on the ground! and I did some yoga to stretch. I hope the weather gets better.

I think I"m going to have to run in the afternoons starting on Monday due to the weather doesn't look like it is going to get any warmer. I like winter...but this is ridiculous!

any who..happy running...I hope the weather gives you better luck out there!

That is horribly cold! I go for the elliptical too. Have a great week.

I agree. That is really cold. I don't blame you for staying indoors. I would have too.

If I hadn't mentally committed to the race I did today, I would have run indoors too.

Last year we had a few days that were this cold and we actually had no school. At least in IL, there is a minimum temp (I think it is -10 or something) before school could be held. We wouldn't have held school today for sure.

I hope it warms up.

Believe it or not that makes me feel better...I keep feeling soo wussy b/c I can't run! The elliptical is more mentally challenging b/c it is sooo boring. I"m going to have to move the TV or something so that I can watch it. IPOD just isn't doing it!

Oh yeah! And good luck on your first day of school on Monday :)

Tracy--it is -11 now...grrr...

Maybe I should have gotten the gym membership...I just really don't remember it being this cold last year...but I guess I'm doing okay. I think I had 80 miles in December. I wanted to be over 100...but it just wasn't in the weather cards.

I know there was about a week in late January last year. But I wasn't running outside last year (actually, I was using the elliptical at this time last year because of an injury) so it wasn't as bothersome.

Man, that's cold! Nothing wrong with the eliptical. Try doing some intervals on there or something. It really makes the time pass quicker.

Aunt--funny u said that. I did do intervals or something and all of a sudden I was like wow i'm in mud! hahahaha
