What a difference one day makes. Monday I was all over the place, just slipping and sliding. Today dry as a desert. Sometime you just got to know make the call to go to they gym. Monday I was slipping as soon as I got on the road. I should have hop in the car and dragged myself to to treadmill. I know if I had gone, I would have run an additional 3 miles in the time it took me to run 4.37 what a dope.

1/5/08- 4.47 miles
1/6/08- 5.42 miles

True, but sometimes running in tough conditions can toughen you up a bit and make good conditions seem so much easier. I know, I'm always looking at the bright side. ;-)

and today sliding all over again. I am too clumsy to run on ice, if I want to keep all my teeth, I have to go to the gym.
BTW, the training runs are every other weekend. Check www.celebratelifehalfmarathon.com. It is probably an hour 10? I'm guessing.

This seems to be a crazy winter in a lot of places. Do take care of yourself.
Good luck with running and wishing you a happy year.

Be careful out in that stuff Dawn You have a lot of good races to run in 09' and a lot of race t-shirts to give away :-)

Happy 09'

The gym provides a definite benefit when it is slippery outside. It may be boring, but at least you can get your run done and not worry about injuring yourself.

I agree with Pamela Ann, better than not running at all. I don't like to see a "white hole" in my log-book.

Way to go Dawn!
