Checking the Tank

Still just too much snow... I am getting soft... I went back to the track... ugh... used my ipod for the first time in over a year while I ran and that helped numb my mind to the pains of running in a circle... Legs felt decent, but now I have a huge blister on my middle toe- left foot! I am wondering if changing running surfaces helped contribute. 7:55/mile.  

Tonight I needed a little motivation (Thanks Cassie) to get my butt in gear. So after small meal I went back outside to my trusty cold weather route. Some of the snow is gone, but not all so that always slows me down. I also have a huge blister (I think blood blister since its red) on my left middle toe that is sore. I do not usually get them so I wonder running on that soft track contributed or just one of those things. I feel better now that I got my run in. 

Legs were tired and the foot hurts (stupid blister) and it was cold.... oh and still not totally clear to run with all the snow.... sure does not keep the motivation high, but miles are miles right now. 

Motivation is not my strong point right now... I need some warmer weather (not a ton, just 5 to 10 degrees) and a clear path to run  on.... On the bright side, I took advantage of running warehouse getting rid of the '10 model shoes and have some new shoes on the way for $46 - since mom gave me that prepaid visa it was prefect :) 

Slow run today... just like yesterday... tired 

Nice.... and cold - but overall everything was decent. Legs were not AS dead. Hopefully I can get some decent miles in tomorrow, but things have been so crazy that you can never tell!

A bit windy and a slight chill, but overall an ok day to run. Felt decent, just plugged away at some base miles. Busy night tonight, lots to do, yet I find myself watching Dr Who with the girls...
