Concentrating on when to slow down or up the incline keeps me occupied, and away from the brink of wanting to "gauge my eyes out!"Half Crazed Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046649398812050664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-87403809407470742152014-01-10T10:45:37.313-05:002014-01-10T10:45:37.313-05:00Good for you!!Good for you!!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569684144657934330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-43953070201417631312014-01-09T23:17:32.037-05:002014-01-09T23:17:32.037-05:00That's AWESOME!! how fun to train for a half!!...That's AWESOME!! how fun to train for a half!!

If you can run long on a treadmill, then you can run REALLY long outdoors.<br /><br />4 days a week running is great in this cruddy weather. I know you like winter, but ugh - so ready for warmth!

All I can manage is sporadic strength work and lots of stretching.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-75694562713334604492014-01-09T21:15:13.725-05:002014-01-09T21:15:13.725-05:00My longest TM run was 14 miles, and it was terribl...My longest TM run was 14 miles, and it was terrible. I was out of town with Nathan for a volleyball tournament, though, and I didn't want to leave the hotel to go run.<br /><br />I smiled at your "only running 4 days a week". That would be like the most days running ever for me. I've got a half marathon on Saturday and haven't run since the 28th. Sigh. Oh well, the weather will make it un-PR-able anyway.<br /><br />It's so hard to balance love of more than one sport! Especially when biking is so much more fun. :) Glad your winter is making it easier for you to love running.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925337665341056813.post-63425463746703225962014-01-09T13:55:02.476-05:002014-01-09T13:55:02.476-05:006 miles on a treadmill would be huge for me too.
