So I updated my annual totals in an earlier post to add November and December - and boy were those numbers dismal!! No wonder I've gained a few pounds! I'm working on turning that around. I need to stay focused on the big goal - being able to do 14ers this summer, and lots of other hiking with the Jeeps, etc. I told my husband I hoped to run suicides on the Jeep trails - start off running/hiking when the Jeeps depart, hit the end of the trail and turn back, then run to wherever the Jeeps have made it to, and then turn and run to the end of the trail again, and over and over till the day is done. That's like 6 hours of running/hiking most likely. The thought of doing that EXHILARATES me and I can't wait to see how it feels.
I'd also like, some day, to run Leadville. Not this year. Maybe not even next year. But I'd like to do it, if I can find the time to train.
Today's run was great, despite it being my work loop three times. It was almost 6 miles, and I had to stop because my lunch hour was over - I felt like I could go on indefinitely. I love runs like that. I was wearing the grey stripy pants and my new turquoise top, no gloves, no hat (it was high 40*s) and my hands were a bit chilly to begin with, but warmed up perfectly. It was a bit sloppy - wet and icy and lumpy - but I figure that's good for getting some of those stability muscles more action.
Tomorrow I'll probably do the elliptical at work again, as it's supposed to be sleeting again. However, I've found that it's more motivating to tell myself to get it done on my lunch hour, so I can relax (ha, relax...right) at home for longer (as opposed to going to the gym to use the elliptical after work).
