Running Chick

Happy Easter, or Happy Zombie Jesus Day, whichever you prefer.  We are having ham later on today, depending on if I packed my roasting pan.  We’re moving at the end of the April so we’ve been packing like crazy and my life currently looks like this:

Our new place is on 10.5 acres about 5 miles outside of town, and our only neighbors will be critters and trees. It’s going to be so awesome.  Packing up the kitchen has been interesting.  I take something out of the cabinet, try to decide if I’ll need it in the next month, decide that I won’t so I pack it up.  Two hours later either Josh or I are standing in the kitchen trying to figure out why we can’t find the thing that’s now packed away  on the bottom of a large, sealed box.  So far, I’ve only had to break into one box.

Anyway, since it finally stopped snowing, I had a much better running week than the last two.  Last week I was only able to manage 15 miles. 5 miles on Monday right before Snowpocalypse IV hit and then 10 miles on Saturday.  This week, I finished up with just over 25 miles, including a 10 miler in a steady drizzle that turned to sleet half-way through.  The roads were slippery, but not too terrible.  Running in frozen clothing was unpleasant.  Check out the ice on my glasses, compliments of a MUB bathroom glamour shot.

Weekly recap: (last week) Monday, 5 @ 10:16; Saturday, 10.25 @ 10:11. (this week) Tuesday, 5 @ 10:12; Wednesday, 5 @ 10:00; Friday 4 @ 10:38; Saturday, 10.50 @ 10:33.

March (good riddance) ended up being 83 miles @ 10:30, and so far for 2013, I have 178 miles.  Next week is a big one. I have 28 total miles on the calendar, with a long run of 12.  Woot.
