First race will be in March, a traditional St. Patrick's 8k.<br /><br />Good luck with your training, and I hope you get some better weather!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185580660442865724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060755630800309245.post-44276327041583668172011-02-03T21:44:09.254-05:002011-02-03T21:44:09.254-05:00Tom - Man, I think it's even worse up there.

I agree that there is no point in doing speed work when the possibility of slipping and getting injured is even greater. <br /><br />No problem!<br /><br /><b>Shannon</b> - Haha, I had a little too much rest the last few months. Kind of put step back in my training.<br /><br /><b>Rose</b> - Yeah, yeah, well... You guys get rains and floods!<br /><br />They're fun to watch, for sure. <br /><br /><b>Em</b> - Thanks! It took a while before I had it in me, too, heh. <br /><br /><b>Jess</b> - It's not so much the cold (which is a big part of it) as it is the slush on the roads. No traction equals terrible running. Ugh!<br /><br /><b>Alex</b> - I have absolutely no idea how people out here train for spring/early summer marathons. Maybe treadmills, I guess.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361819186011561670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060755630800309245.post-84758363400792680542011-02-03T21:38:33.501-05:002011-02-03T21:38:33.501-05:00If I lived in Northern Indiana, I would be even fu...If I lived in Northern Indiana, I would be even further behind in my training. This winter has been tough.

I'm in a snowy location too -- Rochester, New York, and I find that speed work and tempo runs are of marginal benefit when I'm running on snow and ice. As such, I tend to log a lot of slow, steady miles through January & February, and work in a tempo run whenever the roads happen to be clear and dry.<br /><br />Also, thanks for the orange scone recipe. Terrific!Tomnoreply@blogger.com
