Ran the first 6 at 9:10 pace–stopped to take off layers–and the last 7 at 8:34 pace. It was 31 degrees–frost on the ground. Loved it!!! Remembered the gloves and the chapstick!!
Workout:
A cold front BLEW in. It was 33F this morning–not really a problem except for the freaking wind. I don’t mind cold weather–and I used to work outside in -20 as a horse barn manager in Canada. But wind hurts. Put the treadie on some inclines and changed my speed around. Have a 13 mile tempo run tomorrow. Hope the wind lets up.
Workout:

Workout:
took my navy buddy for a run. we did at least 9. just took off and ran for 90 minutes. stopped and checked out the park at imperial beach. helped a surrey with a lost shoe. weather was perfect. i think i will have to go down there for the marathon in may.
Workout:

Workout:
Got up this morning and felt great 48 hours after the SA RNR Marathon. Put in a nice run and did some stretches. Visited my massage therapist–boy was I tight. I am off to soak in some epsom salts.
Workout:
I did it. The weather was perfect–it was a tad bit chilly standing in our ‘corrals’ waiting for our wave (stood there about 30 minutes) start. I was standing next to a girl from Alaska and she was even chilly!!! The race was perfect and fast until about mile 22. I pulled a major cramp in my lower right calf. I think it was due to my body compensating for the swelling in my metatarsal of the right foot. I had been nursing it for about two weeks and could tell I was striking differently. I stopped, I massaged it, I ran, I stopped, I massaged it, I cried……I finished. I had predicted 4:20–remember , this was my first marathon and I wanted it to be positive and fun. It was all of those plus a bit of disappointment. I had my leg tended to after the race because I still had to walk 1.5 miles to the hotel. Salt in my mouth and ice on my leg and I was trucking along. At the restaurant afterwards, I mixed the salt and ice in a margarita and my lower right calf never felt better!! I am signed up to run the Texas Marathon series in 2009. Our first race is New Years Day. Thanks to all of you at Sweat 365 for your encouragement and support. It has been a great 6 month journey and I enjoyed logging every workout with you.

My goal is to train for and run a marathon this fall. I just completed my first 1/2 marathon and want to do another! I am an equestrian. I train and ride dressage. Running is similar--all about discipline, form, patience, positive attitude, FLOW!!!
