Well I went running last night but it was cold, about 4 degrees wind chill. I was all ready to head out as soon as Jake got home from work. If he gets home at his regular time I still have about 30 minutes of daylight to run in. Well he ended up getting home about 40 minutes after his regular time. Then it was dark and still cold and dinner was almost ready. I really didn't want to go out. I asked Jake if he thought I should go running. I was hoping he would say Oh no it's awfully cold you shouldn't go out. Instead he encouraged me to go out since I probably wouldn't have the chance the next two days. So out I went. I only ran 1.5 miles. I was cold and hungry so I cut it short.
Today we are headed up to Chicago for a funeral. I'm hoping to get a chance to run on the hotel treadmill either tonight or in the morning. We will have to see, there will be a lot of family obligations so we'll have to see how things work out. If I do get a chance to run it will be my first time running on a treadmill.

It has been a long time
Wow what a long time since I have posted about running. I have now moved my posting location and am ready to keep this updated. I broke the barrier of running for a full thirty minutes a little over a week ago. So I have now run several 3 miles without a walking break. I'm running between a 10 and 11 minute mile pace. I am quite happy with that.
Now about today's run. It was cold. Temperature of 20 wind chill in the single digits. The weather almost kept me away. But I hate saying no to a run on the weekend. It is my only chance to make a daytime run. I attempted 3.5 miles for the first time. I got to about the two mile point and I was looking at two big hills and I was tired so I took a walking break. Then I finished up strong even a little almost sprinting at the end. So my question is can I still log myself as running 3.5 miles even though I walked a minute? I think so, and I shall. So my running total for the week 9.5 miles. Next week should be better I plan on attempting a 4 miler.
