'Mill miles, sandwich winner.

First things first . . .

I mentioned before that I am behind and, yeah, it's still true. I meant to post the Subway gift card winner a while ago and I completely forgot. But, we do have a winner and it is . . .

Congratulations, Jess! Shoot me an email at felicehalf at yahoo dot com so you can enjoy your Subway!

Second things second . . .

We've had unbelievable weather this year, with very, very little snow and warm-ish temps. It's been great for my marathon training long runs. Unfortunately, it hasn't made all that much difference for my regular, during-the-week runs because my schedule is such that I can't get outside for many of those runs. No matter. The nice weather just makes life easier and it certainly makes the weekend longs runs way better.

Yesterday was pretty warm and pleasant but I had to hit the treadmill for my run. The kids were super and entertained themselves in the basement while I ran 7.5 miles, mostly at an easy pace but finishing with 1.5 miles at slightly faster than marathon goal pace. Loved it!

Another 'mill run on the schedule today. My fingers are crossed for well behaved boys today, too!

 Happy Wednesday, everyone!

boy, do I wish I could share your good attitude about the DREADMILL........for me, it's also a bit of a necessary evil, but I've really come to loathe it. Yes, it keeps my fitness where it needs to be, but it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring! And while this "winter" has made those long runs on the weekend a joy, I'm still a bit terrified what the next few weeks might bring.....here's hoping it all continues!

BTW, I'm probably on the 'mill myself, today.....I'm giving my students a test tomorrow, so I'm sure to have many visiting me after school today for review, so my long-ish run (7-8 miles) might have to happen indoors...

On the Treadmill, outside, wherever, If its a run, It's a run. Awesomeness on the 1.5 miles pacing it out right. Take care.
