@starbee you are doing fine! Like Heather said, you keep those positive thoughts in your head and you’ll be just fine. I know you’ll do great! You’ve got this!
Hi everyone!!!!!
I love reading this thread again and hearing about everyone’s progress….or mis-steps
It’s always good to hear everyone struggles. Keeps it real for all of us
Anyway, you know I
the colder temps and today was a prime example of it. It was 35° with a real feel of 27° for my run this morning
YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS
Set out to do 6, but the weather was so beautiful and sunny I pushed out 8. I wanted so badly to continue on and do 10 but I knew that pushing too much would be a mistake. With my luck I’d end up straining something and need to stop running altogether to heal
I paced 9:46 for this run. I’m so pleased. But I know the weather had everything to do with it.
BRING ON THOSE SNOWY RUNS!
I did screw up with my shoes for this run though. I wore my old sneakers to drop my daughter off at school and when I got back I completely forgot to change my shoes. It wasn’t until I was about 7.5 miles in, that I realized my mistake. Damn. Hope that one doesn’t come back to bite me
To all the runners/walkers out there…..
GO STRONG!!!
WORK HARD!!!
LET’S GOOOOOOO!!!
That is…..WAY TOO COLD.
I enjoy like 45-50. Anything colder than that and my hands hurt.
We’re almost at the end of week 1 training! Tomorrow is 5 miles, which I know I can do with my eyes closed but still seems so daunting right now
Anyway-hope everyone has a great weekend and happy running!
@missingwdw I’m with Becky, that is way, WAY too cold for me! You’re cray cray, but we love ya! Super job this morning! Great pace too!
@bexruns good luck tomorrow! Easy peasy for you! Did my best with getting a workout done today. My legs were pretty tired
Actually, I haven’t worked out in a while, so my entire body was shaky and weak. It will never cease to amaze me how quickly I fall out of shape these days. The years hit hard!
XPIsn’t that the truth!!
Hello and good evening!
Today was my first “long run” day. Only 5 miles but those 5 miles actually went by rather quick. Thank goodness cause it got warm FAST. Today was 90 degrees. It’s times like this I hate Southern California
Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day but I *might* go for a short jaunt. We’ll see.
@bexruns it’s times like this that I wish I was in Southern California!
Great job! Stick to it, you’re doing awesome!@missingWDW You go girl!
I don’t love running in the cold, but I will say my best times ever have been in super cold temps! My ideal is 50s because I don’t freeze but I don’t sweat either. Glad you’re enjoying the weather!
@bexruns Ugh, 90 is crazy hot!
I see you keep getting after it early in the morning and I think “that must be cold!” but then I remember where you live I’ve had to switch to evening runs because I can’t stand the high teen and low 20s temps that early 
Today was rest day….but I did a mile anyway cause why not
It’s only a mile! That’s nothing!

I didn’t think SoCal got that cold!
XPThe real feel this morning was 4 and snowing hard
, I just can’t get the mojo to go out and walk/run in this! The real feel this morning was 4 and snowing hard
