Ugh this weather

[mrshandy]

I got all ready to go went out to run 9 miles and turned back in 2 seconds. It's terrible. Windy rainy and cold. The worst combination.

I'm in a funk or something. I just can't do 9 miles on the treadmill or can I?

[gt7301b]

I sucked it up and just ran outside yesterday, it wasn't horrible. Can you do a few miles outside and then finish up on the treadmill?

[katyintx]

My husband did 19 on the treadmill while on an unexpected trip to Wisconsin in January... So technically you could, but I think it would suck worse than just going outside! Maybe do half and half?

[Wines Not Whines]

Yeah, it sucks. I think today is worse than yesterday. I would probably do 5 on the treadmill, but that's pretty much my treadmill max.

[patches31709]

This is not the encouragement I need to go out and run 13! 

[Deleted]

You could totally do 9 on a treadmill. Boring as hell, but you can do it.

Whenever I have to run inside on a treadmill, I drop it to 5 max and call it. One run won't make/break training.

[skwcm80]

You could do 9 on the treadmill, but I like katyintx's suggestion of half and half better.

[gt7301b]

I take back my suggestion, it is supposed to be in the 60's and sunny tomorrow. Can you bribe your hubby to get your run in tomorrow?

[hannahb]

You can do it!

[mrshandy]

One digital copy of Veronica Mars = 9 miles on the treadmill!

Thanks for the encouragement and my sister for sharing her link. I went pretty slow, I hate running fast on the TM.

We're about to head out to the gym. I'll be running 9 mi on the mill. H has promised to take me to Bon chon after. This is the only reason I agreed.

[coconutbug]

It is nasty out today. I need to get 9 mi in too and am inspired by your victory over the treadmill today to hop on for a bit too.

Ugh I was thinking about you (DC) ladies when I was driving home from yoga. I was completely drenched and frozen just walking from the studio to my car. When I drove by the W&OD trail I literally saw 1 runner. Just one. That never happens, this time of the year it's usually packed. Stay warm and dry!

[Brit]

I would get a book on tape and hit the 'mill.

[mollyrunner]

I am so ready for nice weather to stay around. My running has definitely regressed this winter because I hate the treadmill.

[cinco]

Nice job cranking it out. I just finished the Veronica Bars book*. It was a quick read.

*not on the treadmill

WHY THE FUCK IS IT SNOWING ON MARCH 30th?

[dixeedeluxe]

Snowing here. Again.

[bostonmichelle]

I just finished 5 miles outside in the rain/mist/wind. It sucked but I feel so much better about myself after doing that. I have a 5k next week and conditions look pretty good, I'm debating on what to set for a goal time now.

[melmel48]

I did 5 miles with BostonMichelle and my goodness the wind was something else! We did get a break for a little while though. I feel better having done it though. My friend always reminds me I will never know what weather conditions will be on a race day, so I need to work through various conditions to prepare myself just in case the weather is less than ideal at any given race.

This! WTF!

[sadlebred]

The high was 59 degrees with 20-25 mph winds. It was a good day to mountain bike! It's been rainy here the last few weekends. I'm ready for the drought to return.

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?

Ugg, I did 6 miles on sunday on a boardwalk so the wind was really kicking my butt. I ran an out and back up the shoreline and had a headwind in both directions. How is that possible? Really wind, REALLY?!

lol I swear this happened to me yesterday too! I did an out and back on our local trail. My 6.5 out was into the wind, but I kept happily telling myself not to worry, it'll be so much easier on the way back. Well, the first few miles back there wasn't any wind at all, but then it was in my face again! ARGH!!!

BTW - long time, no see! How's everything?

WTF is with the wind lately? It was (temperature wise) gorgeous here yesterday, but both my run & my ride were not enjoyable due to the friggin wind tunnel that was my route. Between that, the damn pollen, and rain, I am over it. We get two months, TWO, before it is miserably hot & humid, and we've lost one month to the above BS.

It's so annoying! The other day it was really gusting and I made the mistake of starting with the wind at my back. I was like "whoowho! I'm so fast!!" but was all "How can I be running in place?" on my way back.

Going good Sent you a message Hope you and patches are doing well!
