The time has gotten away, but still running!
Marian December 19th, 2010
A few weeks ago, when the mercury began dipping, I decided I needed to do my running on the treadmill… It’s been working, but after 3.5 miles I get incredibly bored even with my music and keeping my visual field busy with the TV on.
So, I decided after last Thursday’s treadmill workout to move back outside and learn to deal with the cold.
Yesterday, I got up and ran my 2nd Rudolph Run. Last year’s was my very first 5K, and it was spitting rain the whole time. This year, no rain but it was cold and I bettered all of my times thus far. 36:59 (OFFICIALLY) and 36:54 according to my Garmin. 
My Nike+ gives a different time, but that includes walking through the chute and grabbing some water before I stopped it!
I have only one more race scheduled and that is the Terrame New Year’s Eve Midnight Run. It should be fun, and I know several who will be taking part. It’s supposed to be the biggest party in Huntsville since the Bicentennial.
This week, though…. I have decided to start my Half Marathon training for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon.
I hope to be doing it with my Sister-in-Law and possibly a nephew or cousin… The added bonus for me is that the route goes right by my childhood home, so we will be having a party at the house while we are out running! I can’t wait… My house is only about a mile from the site of the Oklahoma City Memorial and I have fond memories of riding my bike around the area where the Murrah Building stood as a kid. Bittersweet in many ways, but a nice way to take part in something in my home town.
Well, training begins tomorrow. have a great week. The trick is always to keep things moving during the holidays!
