  • Monday- 2 miles.  First day back after a 2 week break, and this pirate was ready to lead a mutiny against the alarm clock. Which is why my 6 mile run turned into 2.
  • Tuesday- 5.7 miles.  It was 14 degrees out, with a wind chill of 2.  I bundled up and went out for my polar bear run. I feel like I can manage a couple of days of this cold stuff, but I wouldn't want it for weeks or months on end.

  • Wednesday- 6.51 miles.  Another day of cold, another run in the teens.  It felt better today than yesterday. 
  • Thursday- 4.71 miles.  Ran in the hood, half as many clothes as Tuesday.  I went with top half, not bottom, in case you're interested.
  • Friday- 15.5 miles.  It was a little drizzly when I started out, but Saturday's weather called for thunderstorms & 100% chance of rain.  The last 1/2 of this run was in pouring rain, but I survived.  There isn't much you can do when you're 7 miles from home and the downpour happens.  Just finish running/swimming home.
  • Saturday- 5.2 miles.  Hadn't planned on running, but when I went out to check on the hens, I realized it was warm (and NOT raining like they'd predicted).  So I threw on some shorts & a short sleeved shirt and went out for a few more miles.  My legs were heavy/tired from Friday's run, but I know it's good training to run on tired legs.  And this way I can enjoy another bowl of ice cream tonight!
