The snow keeps coming, and just won't stop. I would rather run on the treamill any day than endure cold burning windy temps on my face. I ran today on the treadmill for an hour.
63 minutes : 4.66 miles. What's up???
Then I had to go get my car looked at but a very adorable car technician, who unfortunately isn't working when I have to come back again on Thursday for a new part. Boo. But while I was sitting there I read through an issue of Runner's World from last year. (Side note: if you love magazines like I do, but hate paying $3 and $4 some dollars per issue, Half Price Books is your new best friend for currest issues at only 50 cents a pop!) While I was seriously considering doing a bicyle tour vacation by myself later this year, now I've got a new idea that is rolling around in my crazy impulsive head. I'm thinking about signing up for a big monumental race (half marathon or more) and planning a vacation around it. The race could be at the beginning of the week, and then the rest of the time could just be relaxing, site seeing, and time off of work and resting from running. Then once I come back, it would be time to get back into the schedule and routine and set new goals and not put running off. Like a certain other time after a certain other half marathon. But there is one down side to this that has me scared. I just don't really want to go on a vacation by myself.
At least on a bike tour, you are with a group of people the whole time. Hmmm...more to ponder though.
**Today's success: Worked out and had a great run. Ate decent throughout the day. Throuroughly stretched out afterwards. Had my first blog comment! Woooo!
**Today's Setbacks: Ate two cupcakes. Considering a 3rd right now. Realized that my Nikes are not my favorite to run in. They are light weight and great for other things, but I do not like them for running. I think I am a tried and true Asics fan. Those aren't my exact model, but similar.
