-8 at 9am...I guess i will go grocery shopping and see what the weather is like after that...It will probably be another elliptical day. I hope this weather gets warmer soon and doesn't continue into February. That is when my real training begins. At least now I know what to blame when I have a horrible marathon experiance--January! LOL

UPDATE:

30 minutes=8 miles on the elliptical. 10-15 % incline (I changed it 10 minutes in)

stretched afterwards and did 2 minutes and 50 seconds worth of crunches and side crunches on the ball.

It's somewhat abnormal isn't it? If so, it can't last too much longer. Don't worry about it; it's out of your hands. :)

I think so. But I had less mileage last year. and I think I was only running 3 days a week so it wouldn't have been a big deal if it was cold.

I"m thinking more positively--When I get off the elliptical I'm more apt to do weights (they are right next to each other)

I think that is unusually cold. It's bound to warm up soon. I don't think that cold will last all through January. But here in Colorado, we seem to be having a snowier winter than last year.

Good job on the elliptical.
