I didn’t run last Wednesday, per my usual schedule, but then it turned cold again and snowed both Thursday and Friday. On Thursday I did walk the 3 miles, wearing a coat, and then we rode our bike trainers for 90 minutes that night. I didn’t do anything all weekend, so I had plenty of rest before starting my run today.

I felt pretty good today. I ran the whole first mile, then walked for about 30 seconds, then ran the next mile and walked for about 2 minutes, then ran the rest of the way home. I knew I had walked more distance today than I did last Monday, but I figured my running, especially the last mile, was probably a little faster. So I figured I would come in around the 35 minute mark. When I got home, let myself inside, and saw the stopwatch at 34:01, I was really happy. That’s a new personal record for this loop.

Eventually I’m going to have to start swimming and biking outside again. Right now we ride our trainers at night sometimes, but biking outside at night won’t work, so I may need to figure out a new schedule for running once it starts to warm up.
