Tonight I ran in the snow for the first time ever at 15 degrees, Kory was surprised I wanted to still run and not on the treadmill ,  3.21 mile at a 13.16 pace Kory ran with me and paced me very well .I am not sure I would have gone as far by myself in the cold or the area I went over I probably would have ran around my neighborhood instead and kept it shorter about 2 miles.

Tonight I ran 2 miles at a 12:22 pace with Kory Thanks again honey.. also my 3 year old and 8 yr old wanted to run when I got back home Vance age 3 ran with me for .08 of a mile and my 8 yr old ran .16 mile and then more with Kory check out Kory's blog to find out how well they ran with daddy. Tonight the run felt easy it was nice, but also very slick because of the ice.

 Okay I decided after dinner to run to the store that Kory wanted us to go to so I ran another 1.17 miles at a 11.52 pace just because it felt so good. And then I was so close to 1 mile I just had to finish it.

Today I ran with Kory on his lunch hour 3.1 at a 12.29 pace and .40 at

a .19 pace with my 3 year old son Vance. which the first mile feeling

hard to get into the rythm but after that it did get easier. We had a

busy evening and I realized I was close to hitting 10 miles for the

week and so when we got home this evening I decided to run on the

treadmill for a mile (4.7 for 1/2 5.0 mph) it felt like a productive day We have a family pot

luck for Christmas on Saturday so I plan on running at least 2 miles so

I can enjoy the food and not feel guilty.

But once I got going it wasn't so bad.

Ran today on icky treadmill, it was snowing and blowing and I chickened out for an outside run, man it sure seems harder on the treadmill it is hard to stay focused. And my breathing seems to be so different. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.. JESUS IS THE REAL TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS..

Today I ran 2 miles at an average pace of  12:17  this was a hard run for me I haven't ran for 2 days and it was cold with a small wind and snow I put on a face mask I think that made it hard to run and my breathing was horrible I finally put the mask on my head and off my face but then I still struggled all the way until I was finally done. I think it was just a tough day of running but at least I wasn't on the TM.. I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas..

I ran 3.18 mile at a 12.08 pace Kory and I started out togeather and every so often I would see him and Buddy the (dog)  it was 17 degrees when we started and not much wind What a great way to finish the year I have never ran on New Years Eve. Now to be thinking about the New year and some running goals something to think about. Happy New Year everyone.
