I considered going outside for about a nanosecond this morning. It's low teens in central TX. No thanks. Treadmill time again.
ETA: My treadmill is in the house. Yeah, I'm a wimp.

Should have done a full 20. More miles than degrees.


Edit: also, don’t you have a heater to make it a little warmer than 18??? MAN that’s cold.

I've been running in the cold (15ish degrees air temp) the last few days. Honestly the cold hasn't bothered me other than the time it takes to get dressed and my next gaiter.

My gaiter has some perforations around the mouth area to help with breathing, but honestly it's not great so I find myself pulling it down for a few min to catch my breath, then covering back up when my nose gets cold.

It helps keep the cold off my neck so I continue to wear it, but it causes some nags when I'm running.

It's going to warm up a bit for a few days then get cold again starting tomorrow

Hopefully, I'm through with being sick this year. Had two more days following my last workout where new symptoms flared up suddenly. Wife thinks it was covid since it was like 3 separate colds back to back.

Getting a little nit-picky, aren't we? That was more miles than degrees (6' from where I was actually running).

Without a breeze at all those temps end up being pretty good as you build up a bit of heat around you. Once the temperature gets into the mid 20s it can actually start feeling a bit warm.

Well, I’m way behind on this after my ankle sprain on 12/31, but I’m back at it.

1/11 : 3.21/3.12
1/13 : 4/7.12
1/20 : 6.2/18.2

A 10k is not the best reintroduction to hard running after a break like this.

Overall it was a disappointing race. All the excuses… ankle still hurts like a bitch, it was freezing. The race was delayed an hour, I was way out of shape. Ice still all over the course casing slipping and sliding all over and points where I had to hop around to try not to fall.

I had trained for 10k specifically for 12 weeks leading up to this only to sprain and ankle 3 weeks before and be stuck inside with with snow and ice on the ground for the final week.

I tried to cycle to keep the cardio up, but it’s not the same.

It ended up being what I’ll call and unofficial PB, but only by 11-17 seconds depending on how you count it. I double tapped the watch as I was crossing the finish line which was apairently not quite 10k. I then meandered around the finish for a couple min before my watch recognize 10k at something like 53:40. Clock time was 52:07 and I crossed the start 5ish seconds after the time started.

My legs feel like I’ve never run before.

Anyway, onto the next thing. Hope I can hit 1000 this year.

Had a few days off. Haven't ran since Wednesday. Meant to do my long run yesterday but life got in the way.

My Polar H9 chest strap is still doing wonky stuff so I'm probably going to scrap it. Sucks because I only got about a year out of it. Not sure what I'll do about a replacement, if anything.

Hey guys,

I’m going for 1,000+ in 2024.  I joined the Strava group as well.  

Today was just a mile warmup before weights.

1/75


Thanks for doing this!

A PB, in shit conditions like tap dancing around ice patches on the trail, is still a PB. Congrats on a successful race. Just think how you'll perform on your next non-winterized race

2.7 + 2.9 = 5.6/84.5

First double run, by accident I suppose.

Had a sick kid at home and couldn't leave the house, so opted for the dreadmill. 2.7 miles in, the thing just shuts off. No warning, no slowing down, just off. Decided it wanted to perform a system update which I didn't have time to wait on, so I called it a workout.

2.9 was in the neighborhood after I had a supervisory member of the house at home lol.

Treadmill. Ugh. I had started my Garmin Descent G1 in treadmill mode just to see how accurate it tracked. Since I started about a minute in, I knew there would be a variance. After about 5 miles, the discrepancy between the watch and hamster-cage was growing. I slowed to a walk on/off and noted a continued increase in the difference. As I wrapped for the day, a friend called. I forgot to stop the watch. So, an hour later, I just deleted the activity. Maybe I'll remember next time.

You can calibrate it to the treadmill distance before saving the activity.

You can, but treadmills can be off quite a bit by themselves.

I've been on different hotel treadmills lately (plus my own) and they're all different. Mine is slower than the display. Two hotel treadmills lately have been faster than the display, and that one I've used most recently is the only one I've ever seen that's spot on - all of this compared to the foot pods on my shoes, which tend to be very accurate and consistent.
