Love is a Winding Road... or at Least Around the Lake

Carrie already posted about the race, so I just get to post the pictures. Yes, we were cool enough to wear V-Day knee-hi socks, not only during the race, but to the Nordic Ware factory store afterwards too.

Gnomeo & Juliet & Carrie & Natalie

Natalie & I ran the Twin Cities' Valentine's Day 5k today.  It was sponsored by a potato chip company and Gnomeo & Juliet.  I won a sweet gnome t-shirt and Natalie scored a hat, AND the best prize of all:  it was over 30 degrees!!!!  In fact it got above freezing today!  First time since November!  Then after the race we went to the Viking Wear outlet and bought all sorts of fun baking pans...so I could come home and make oodles of nasty treats.

Fabulous day

February 12th:  3 miles

Conundrum

Why is it some days it's easy to run 5 miles and other days it's like pulling teeth to pound out 3?

Today was  3 mile day.

February 11: 3 miles

It hurt

It may have been the fact I ate cereal and a banana an hour before I attempted a run, but I was nothing but a knot of side cramps...ewwwww.

January 9:  3 miles

I don't even want to post my miles anymore...

... because I'll get a lecture about being exercise obsessed. However, last night's miles were to prove to myself that I could run a half faster than I ever have before. Not because I'm obsessed. Granted, it was on a treadmill since I refrain from running in sub-freezing temperatures, but even then, I cut about 20 min off my half time. now... if only I can do that in a race...

Feb 7 = 13(.1) miles
