It was so cold this morning with the temperature hovering around 24 degrees. Thankfully, my friend and I dressed appropriately for our morning run. We chose a different route than normal, which was a nice change of scenery, although, mileage-wise it seemed to drag on. We had a nice time given the chilly weather. We ran the first 8.25 and walked the last part. Once again, nice way to start the day.

After waking up to let the dogs out, I attempted to go back to sleep, but realized that was not happenning. I decided to get up and go for my run. My husband and dogs slept in and I hit the streets. It was cold, but not nearly as frigid as yesterday. It wound up being quite nice. My pace is still slow, but I ran more of the hills and felt good throughout. |

| With a meeting today closer to home, I hit the gym a bit later than usual. I felt pretty good, but had to remind myself that I did have time for 6 miles vs only 5. My only issue was that I was following the clock on the wall, which was 5 minutes slow. I realized around mile 5 as I was watching SportsCenter that I needed to pick up the pace so that I could get out of there. |

| I was back at the gym this starting getting a later start than usual due to a workshop that I had to go to. The first 2-3 miles were a bit sluggish, but then I got into a nice groove by mile 4 and was able to finish strong. I am slowly getting my pace up during those final miles (at least at the gym.). |

| I slept in a bit later since I was running on my own. I developed a cold yesterday and thought that the run would be a good way to clean out my system. Unfortunately, I did not think about the breathing aspect as I was short of breath soon after I started. Since it was about 32 degrees out I decided just to take my time and do my best. |

| The plan was to run at 6:30, but to heavy rain, I slept in and ran on my own from home. When I started it wasn't raining, but did get rained between miles 2 and 3. I felt pretty good the whole time. My time was terrible, but I didn't find myself walking much, which was good considering the run was hilly. It was a nice way to start the day. |

After sleeping in and walking the dogs with my husband, I hit the pavement for my morning run. The weather was pretty nice, but still cold. Unfortunately, I didn't feel nearly as good as I did yesterday. The hills from yesterday seemed steeper today. I pushed myself to get my minimum of 6 and thankfully, was able to get in one more for a total of 7 miles. My pace is still slow, but I am out there moving.
I also broke in a new pair of running shoes today, Nike Structure Triax 15. |

| It was a cold and rainy morning, but thankfully I was already heading to the gym. I am trying to get 6 miles in on weekdays, but unfortunately, due to time, I was only able to get in 5 (it seems that I always have a ton of work to do). I felt alright, although I felt best during the latter miles. |

I was back at the gym this morning for my run. For the first time in a while, I was able to get 5 miles completed in under 50 minutes. It may sound ridiculously slow to most, but I was happy with the progress made. |
