Warm winter

We are having an unusually warm winter here in the midwest! Going running on Feb. 1 in 60 degree weather, wearing just a t-shirt and running skirt-love it!!

I was down and out with the flu for the past week but finally got back to it yesterday. The first run back was a little rough and i felt like it had been longer than a week since my last run.

I don't have much to chose from in the race dept. for February so it looks like i will be signing up for a 4 mile race on the 12th. I was hoping to find something more towards the end of the month but i better take what i can get! Gotta get my race for the month in after all! :)

Finished out January in my goal of 1,000 miles in 2012 with 67.8 miles. Behind where i should be so i need to make up some extra miles in February!

Will soon be starting a training program for the half marathon i plan to run in April. I really want a pr in that one so i plan to train pretty hard. Hopefully i can stay well. it seems like this winter i have been fighting sickness more than i have other winters and it has been a much milder winter...doesn't make sense to me!

Hope you are having a great week!

  1. I'm nervous that your really mild winter will mean a really freezing winter next year! These lungs aren't used to cold weather!! =)

    Glad you're feeling better! Hey, it's leap year so we'll have an extra Feb day to get in some extra mileage. =) Hooray!

  2. I don't know what is with this weather either....so strange. I hope it won't get worse later on. I also hope to hit 1000miles this year. I'm only at 94. You have a great start :)
