Ok, after all the TM talk yesterday... (Weekend workouts)

[thom]

It's -1 out, -24 windchill. I don't have time to run any later and wait for better temps, and the roads look slick from drifting. I'm hopping on the treadmill. Only 8-9 miles, so barely a long run, but will I survive? I'll report back soon.

What about the weather & workout where you are?

[sadlebred]

It's 19 with a windchill of 13. I'm going mountain biking when it gets just a bit warmer. I'd like to do my normal ride of 3 hours, but if I make it an hour and a half I'll be happy.

[libbygrl109]

It's 20 with 20mph winds, so it feels like 4 and it's starting to snow. I'm pushing my 7 mi indoor to my parents' treadmill tomorrow since I'm so slow and don't want nasty looks from people at the gym.

[texassmith]

It's in the 20s right now, but is going to be 60ish later this afternoon, so I'll probably try to get in my first post-marathon run once it warms up a bit.

Its 20* with a real feel of 7* and its supposed to snow later. Tomorrow when I'm supposed to run 3-4 miles its supposed to be 18* and 30 mph winds, so most likely the treadmill for me tomorrow morning.

[skwcm80]

26 with a real feel of 17 and wind gusts up to 23 mph. I've got 10 miles on the treadmill waiting for me.

[gt7301b]

Right now sitting on the couch is killing me I'm going to the grocery store and am going to run this afternoon when it allegedly will break 30.

Aren't you the queen of snowy runs? Eventually the temps get you too That's crazy cold!

I'll be in the TM today too. Still too cold and icy in NJ for my tastes.

That sounds crazy cold on a bike! Good luck to you.

Maybe not the queen.

I feel like if I can go in full daylight, preferably afternoon, it's better. Also, it's 15+ mph wind right now & that's my arch nemesis. Sometimes it's just a mood thing too.

Anyhow, 90 minutes on the TM easy, 9.3 miles. I survived!

Happy Saturday all.

[emilyj]

21 degrees, feels like 10 right now. I'll be waiting until this afternoon to go run.

[Wines Not Whines]

20 degrees, real feel of 9. I bundled up and went outside for 10 miles. It wasn't too bad, honestly. The worst part was having to be careful of icy spots. Hand warmers helped a lot.

[jchokie79]

It's snowing, 22 with a real feel of 8 right now. I have 5 miles on the treadmill today. Honestly speaking, I am very thankful for my basement treadmill. It's the first piece of exercise equipment that I've purchased that's not collecting dust. I love that I can run at any given moment in the comforts of my own home.

Ok, sap moment over, running always makes me emotional!

[archaeominx]

Dread milling it here in upstate NY. It's actually in the 20s and not that bad out but I don't have anyone to keep an eye on the kids for a road run today. Boo.

[cinco]

20 degrees with a wind chill in the single digits. I did 5 outside, and then went on the TM for 8 (DH had to leave for work). My winter gear consists only of gloves, so I borrowed DS's Batman hat with ear flaps and layered. Not too bad, but my legs did stay pretty tight. My TM miles were about 45 seconds/mile faster!

Did you run on the trail?  I'm trying to figure out where I can run.

It's currently 25 with wind chill of 12. I just got done shoveling and letting the sweat dry (ew!) before changing to get in a run.

[sassystace]

It was practically a blizzard here this morning so I did 8.5 miles on the treadmill, wa-hoo!

[sassystace]

Not cold where I am, but WET. Holy shit. I did a new extension on my route (15 miles) that someone recommended (a cyclist) and OMG it was like a freaking Tough Mudder course. I was cursing that bitch for the whole off-road section she recommended.
And yet, despite having to walk (WALK!! argh!!) for a few minutes in the worst bits - literally could barely walk as it was super muddy and sloppy - I did my third best HM time of 1hr54mins. Which makes me think next weekend I will dodge the muddy section and totally PR my HM race time. Hell yeah. Even some of the roads were flooded. I spilt some gel on my hand and it was really sticky so I bent down on a flooded road bit and washed my hand in what was pretty deep flowing water. So, not all bad.

I ran on Beach Drive and Rock Creek Trail through DC and MD. Beach was clear of snow, because it's an actual road, but I was pleasantly surprised that the trail was also mostly clear.

[G22]

50s, sunny and windy here. So I'll be heading outside for my run later today.

[trigal]

It's 21 degrees, windy, and snowing. I spent an hour and 45 minutes on the bike (trainer) and 15 minutes on the treadmill.

[Raggedeannie]

I went with the towel-over-display trick someone posted. That + Tv actually made my 8mi not totally suck.

[tuggyruns]

It was 15 when I started my 20 miler this morning- windchill of 7. Thankful that my new CX9 pants worked out! They were my base layer this morning.

In other news. I'm still in shock that I RAN 20 miles...it's starting to feel real that I might actually toe the line at this marathon!!!

Not might... You are absolutely going to! Great job on running 20.

And great job to all you hardcore workout warriors!

@cheshire - your run sounds crazy w/ that mud. Glad you made it ok.

We ran on the C & O canal trail, there was so much snow. It was so hard, I'm pretty sure the only more difficult run I've done was my marathon.

[agswife]

Cold with random snow. I ran 2.5 on the treadmill - my first run in 11 days. Hoping to do 4 tomorrow (again, on the treadmill.) I hate winter.

[sadlebred]

I made it 2.5 hours and 20 miles. It wasn't too cold (relatively speaking) in the woods if I kept moving.

[lb2006]

only a 3 miler with my H and dogs. It was 23 degrees w/real feel of 12. The wind was bad here today. Had to work mid-morning, so i'll take what I can get!
