Utah winter running sends me inside on a treadmill.  I try to push myself with speed and upping the incline on the treadmill.  I don't mind treadmill running, it just doen't feel the same as the outdoors.  Anyone have a good treadmill workout they recommend?

Another treadmill workout.  Today I tried to maintain all miles below eight minutes.

My right foot is killing me for some reason.  Awww, I hate injuries.  Looks like I won't be doing the 15 miler I planned for tomorrow.

Hmmm.  Don't you love that January is the month to make new years resolutions?  I just have certain goals that I would like to accomplish throughout the upcoming year, but not necessarily resolutions.

Both of the gyms I go to (yes two), seem to be very crowded at this time of year.  Today I decided I wanted to attend a spin class.  I was there 10 minutes early and all of the bikes were filled.  Love the month of January at the gym :).

 I decided on a few other options. Turned out my workout turned into a  three hour session.  Started with 45 minutes on a boring elliptical.  Then I took it to a stationary bike with a huge seat for 45 mintues.  Last but not least, I spent about an hour and fiftenn mintues in the weight room working on lifts and core work.  I left feeling really strong. 

I don't feel anywhere close to what a 15 mile run feels like.  My foot is feeling better though. I hope to be back to the pounding by Monday, we'll see.   Gotta get those miles in.

9 easy miles on an indoor track.  1 mile on a treadmill that resulted in pain in my foot again.  I think I will keep it nice and easy the next week. 

 Felt good to put some good quality miles in.

Today is REST day!  I might think about doing some cross training, but then again, maybe not.

The long run...

The weather wasn't as cold as I thought it would be.  Clear, beautiful blue skies about 30 degrees.  I felt rather ill at mile 5.  Thank goodness for country roads.  When nature calls, at least no one will see you.  The same thing happened at mile 10.  I felt so slow.  I kept reminding myself that I was just putting some miles in the bank, and it didn't matter if I went slow or not.

I felt so stiff.  Sat in an ice bath for about 10 minutes.  I planned to sit in the ice bath for fifteen, but my legs were starting to turn purple. 

Thank goodness for Sunday's.  All I have to do is sit around all day.
