Ok- I got to ask. Is DD = Da Daughter and DH = Da Husband?

So, today I put in 5.06 on the TM. I kept it at 3.0 for first 3.1miles. I would have liked to put in a little more time on the TM, but the youngest kept getting too close. Looking really forward to a run outside tomorrow. Forecast is for mid 40's to mid 50 with Fog.

I checked out Daily Mile and didnt love it. Been there twice. Its 3am. Im sure you're all sleeping. Enjoy the weekend.

I swear it's getting colder each day here in MN, brrrr!!

I'm embracing indoor running; went to a health club to try it out; nice, small, private but machines need to be updated especially the 2 TMs, yes only 2!!  Can't imagine the waiting line for them!!

Anyway, there was only one other person who is on the cycle; most of the women who came in and out about every 15 minutes were using the tanning booth!! yikes!

10 minutes on elliptical; ran some easy comfortable intervals, 6.1 miles = 1:10; 1/2 mile walking; 20 minutes core exercises and stretching. 

What I NEED is a deep tissue massage!!!

My AZ MT is awesome, very knowledgable about anatomy and understands athletes' aches, stiffness, etc. 

It's difficult to find someone in MN, tried one earlier in the summer by referral but I walked out of there all greased up and not feeling any better.

OC, Linus:  great race times!  Impressive you braved the cold temps! 

16 miles 2 hr 22 min. Shorts weather.

deb friend me on DM

Ya'll check out runningahead also.

NHLA - FR sent on DM.  Hopefully I remembered your profile name right

Today was really foggy and about 44 degrees when I went out to run.  Did just over 5 miles in 44 minutes.  I felt good the entire run.  I like running in fog and mist because it makes breathing easier.  I wore capri tights, long sleeve under armour and my neon yellow tech shirt for visibility in the fog. I was cold for the first mile since I forgot gloves, but my hands warmed up along with the rest of me. I haven't done yoga in a week and really need to stretch! Oh - I did see snowdrops (flowers) today but no snow!

az - I hope your husband is doing well.  What a frightening experience!  You deserve a long relaxing massage!

Jeff - I hope you mom is doing okay, too.  I would love to see a pic of your chicken coop!

Coyote and Linus - Congrats on your race!  Those are some awfully cold temps!

Deb - The entire east coast must be fogged in!  Way to go on your 6.8!  I too opened account on Daily Mile.  I do not do Facebook - so the site is confusing to me.  I'll have to have my one of my DDs explain it to me.

Leigh - Awesome 10!  Come summer we will all be complaining about the heat!  I still prefer running outside in temperature extremes to running on a treadmill in a climate controlled room.

Decided on a goal for January to do at least 10 miles/ week along with at least two other cross-training workouts.

I hope everyone is healthy and content!  Keep running!

I ran a strong 4 miles this morning in the heavy fog and mild 38 degrees. I'd planned for a 10 mile run, but teen-shuttling trumped LSD.

jmsab23 Good to hear your adding on the miles again.

NHLA You have a cold? It sounds like it came and went quickly though, with 16 miles today! I'll check out runningahead.

linuscatch 80 degrees!?!?! Wow, that must have been lovely. How fun you met the Coyote. The race sounds great and congrats on getting your pace worked out!

justrundan I hope you got to hit the TM and watch your game today.

JEFF CT Hey, night owl! DH and DD is "Dear Daughter" and Dear Hubby" Nice TM work!

az2mn A "deep tissue massage" sounds dreamy!!

Debm2011 **High Fives**  girl!!

LeighDS Nice job!

MelodyLea - Thank you!

Francessmom - I know right?! For me, I don't mind the heat at all. In fact, (pardon me being gross) but the more I sweat the harder I work/train. I just have never been a cold weather person, at least when I'm outdoors. Indoors I love winter time!

Jeff CT - Man that is quite the day to have! Hope you get that outdoor run in! Good luck!

Those are some amazing miles you are all putting up and I can't wait until I can post a 10mm. Fog is not wind, snow and ice. We had long steady downpour which you're all likely to see today. Don't count on the small moments of let-up to last. Hope it isn't too cold.

Yesterday 7 LS miles, 1:56:26 on TM. That's a 16.32 mm. So slow. No patience. The first hour I refused to accept going that slow (I am used to walking faster during run/walk) and ended up having to constantly walk to get HR down. Second hour found I could jog at 3.4 and maintain HR so jogged 50 min.straight which gives me a chance to build some stamina and leg muscles. Three HR runs down and what I've learned: 1) it's hard; 2) I was definitely training anaerobically. The third thing is interesting. I felt physically well on Friday and my pace at 121 HR was 15 mm. I felt ill yesterday and my pace at 121 HR was 16:32. I felt running when ill was slower and harder to breathe and this shows it's harder on your heart. I still don't know what my max. aerobic HR should be. According to Maffetone, it should be 111 and acc'd to Mark Allen, 121 to 126. Getting the upper limit will mean more improvement faster. Pushing past the upper limit will mean working anaerobically and failure. If I knew what feelings to look for I could just nail it down during a TM run and go with that. So it goes. It's been fun having a project and the mental challenge seems to be building my motivation. Checked the training schedule for the full from local running store and I am only a few miles behind (2.4 to 9.4 for the week). Will try to get on track this week. I don't know if I'll be able to actually run the race given the Flying Pig course but if I keep working at this pace, I shouldn't have trouble running the distance, assuming I don't fall asleep in the process. Ugggh!!!  Starting WW again today. It's second flank attack on speed. Will see what effect this has on HR. Stole from OC's Toned Bones. SignOn is TrimNBonz.

Run strong and fierce, my friends!!
