Finally got to go running this morning. The first chance I had in two weeks where there was also daylight and enough energy to do it. Looking forward to getting out a few more days this week. I'm not exactly an outdoors person, especially in cold weather, so I was surprised to enjoy it - the fresh air, the Sunday morning quiet. I know the winter is just setting in and there will be lot colder temps in the weeks ahead but I'm going to keep pushing myself to get out there.
It's also just 5 weeks from the start of 1/2 marathon training time. Which means in the weeks ahead I'll also have to decide if I can and want to commit to it. The training program I looked at most recently recommended you be running a total of 10 miles a week when you get to week 1 of training. That's perfectly reasonable sounding, but I've never run in single-digit temps either. Nor do I have access to a soul-sucking deadmill, I mean treadmill. But instead of getting too far ahead of myself I'm going to focus on just this next week. 2 more runs, at minimum. Now that it's winter break I know I can make the time. Looking forward to it.
