Running Chick

Report

My final run of the week was I had a nice one through Laurium this afternoon. I overdressed for the 26-degree weather so I was peeling layers off by the end of the first mile. I like running in Laurium. There are lots of huge, old houses to look at to take my mind off whatever part of my legs are aching. Everybody's yard is full of snow now, but it'll be interesting to see what's under all the snow come spring. Which, indicentally, can't come soon enough. I am so over winter and snow and cold.

Two workouts to report. I had snow to do on Tuesday so I replaced scheduled two mile run with 70 minutes of snow removal. Today when I left work, it was nasty cold so I finally got that gym membership. Three miles on the dreadmill with a 10-minute walk on either end followed by 30 minutes of strength training and 10 minutes of stretching.

Tomorrow is my day off. Yay!

So, I probably should consider getting a punch-card at the gym. My run today was cold, windy, snowy and generally unpleasant. My legs were killing me from the squats & lunges I did yesterday and it was hard to keep them moving. I gutted out my scheduled three miles and caught a ride back home with Josh.

Here's the report

This was also my first run in my new Mizuno Wave Ascend 2 trail shoes. Smooth ride, but they'll need some breaking in.
