School and Back
Fast and furious. I didn't want to go out, it's raining, crappy, and cold. But I did. Just for a little bit.
I'm thinking of paying one of the neighbor kids to come over tomorrow so I can get a longer run in. Then again, it's supposed to snow!

4/23/08 - 2 miles
Distance: 2 miles
Time: 21 minutes - 10:30 mile.
Weather: low 50's, windy, sunny.
Past the School and Back.
Dare I say it was a good run today? The hard part for me in getting back into it, is getting to a comfortable place. And by comfortable place, I mean it takes me a mile or two to get warmed up and then I'm 'comfortable' - or 'in the zone.' Right now, I feel like I'm fighting every step.
I went so far as to run with my ipod. Generally, once I get to the comfortable place, the music just distracts me, but right now, I need the distraction. Enough races now ban ipods/music devices that I don't want to get so used to using one, only not to have one on race day.
Today I ran to the school, and far enough past (I've measured this with my car more times than I care to count) to make it two miles - one out. One back. Again, could I have run farther - yes. Did I want to? No. I could tell the last two nights I slept much better given the increased activity.
Unfortunately my plan of running this weekend has been nixed, as my husband will be out of town. My new plan involves 3 or 4 on Friday, then take the kids on a bike ride or two over the weekend. Weather depending, of course!

4/2/08 - 4 miles
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 52 minutes - steady as she goes 13 minute mile.
Weather: low 30's, snow and ice on the ground.
North Park Loop.
Pretty uneventful run, though the wind could be a little stiff. During today's run, I truly realized how far I've let my running slide. During the winter, I prefer to hibernate. Fortunately, spring is approaching and I should be out more.
For the most part, we have wonderful trails that are well maintained throughout the year. It's really nice to be able to go out and know that you don't have to share the road with vehicles.
The loop today consists of nearly two miles of straighaway following the road, then turning and cruising through the park. The mile of park path is quite senic with native grasses, a wandering brook, and asphalt trail. Much to my delight, the trail had been plowed since Monday's six inches of snow.
It was all well and good, until I came to the final little bit. There are two roads, one shares the pavement with cars, the other is a path through the houses.
Today, I took the road less traveled
