Skipped Wednesday’s run on account of needing sleep and the Monday morning issues. Decided I’d run on Thursday, but in the back of my head was the worry about needing to not stray too far from the car. Ended up making bad selections on running clothes — a little colder and damper than I’d planned for — so scratched the outside run and regretfully continued on to the gym. Managed five miles on the hated treadmill before I had to call it quits on account of overheating.

Treadmill, Yuck

It was pouring rain when I got up to meet my running group, so ended up heading to the gym to run there. Of course as soon as I arrived it stopped, but I was unsure that it would stay stopped. Turns out it did, naturally. Oh, how I hate the treadmill.

Squeezed in a few miles at the gym on Thursday before another weather system dumped 6″ of snow onto the area. *sigh*

This has not been a good month for running. Yeesh. Bad weather, too much time sucked into work and school, and an inadvertent pulled muscle right before going on a trip somewhere warmer where I could have gotten some runs in. Ah well.

Had to take a week off to let the end result of a little medical procedure heal up enough, but hoofed it on the dreaded treadmill for 6 miles to get back into the swing of things. I should have just run outside right after work, but in case there were any problems the treadmill seemed like the wiser option.

Well, I wasn’t planning on another treadmill run, but a combination of scheduling and potential “wintry mix” tomorrow meant that I gritted my teeth for 7 miles on the demon beast at Washington Sports Club after work. Oh boy.

Another unplanned week off due to a minor medical issue, ho-hum. And then this morning’s run got scrapped due to sleet. 4 miles on the treadmill is less than ideal but certainly better than nothing at all.

School (yet again) interfered with a morning run, so I squeezed in three miles on (ugh) a treadmill before evening plans kicked off.

11/18: Bitter cold out and so I ran on a treadmill at WSC. Cut it a tiny bit short because I wasn’t feeling well… which turned out to be food poisoning preparing to kick into high gear. Oh boy!

11/22: Small group, just me and John and Jerry. No one was feeling particularly clever so just an out-and-back on a windy morning.
