Whoops. Old habits die hard.
Pretty ordinary winter week around here. Monday through Friday on the treadmill due to work/darkness, COLD cold weather, and another (much less hideous) storm.
Winter certainly set in mid week and brought us the first deep freeze of this winter season. With lows in the single digits, and highs in the teens, we all remembered why we do not like it here!!
My treadmill miles were labored this week. I go them done, but my motivation was low (no daylight equals pretty low energy me) my legs felt yucky, and it was a slog.
I did get out for some outdoor miles over the weekend.
I had some pretty sold weather on Saturday, but my legs felt heavy and gross from the week on the treadmill.

On Sunday, I was generally feeling better (plus, finally an easy work day!) but it snowed like crazy! It actually was not bad at all, but my face indicates otherwise.

The holidays are coming up, and we have zero plans this year. Covid is going absolutely bat shit crazy around here, so we are sticking close to home (as in: AT HOME.)
My friend Danielle and I had discussed doing a self-supported Dopey Challenge leading up to/into New Years weekend, but we had the maturity to conclude that neither of us were fit for such an adventure.
currently, my plan is to run the total mileage (48 and change) over the course of New Years week. WE SHALL SEE!!!!
In conclusion, I was able to get all my Boston to Bar Harbor miles in last week, plus a few. I'm still running a bit ahead of schedule, and could take almost a full week off and finish.
Stats:
Miles run:
Running: 31.3
Straight up walking: 1.5
Total: 32.8
Warmest day: 30
Coldest day: Low 3, high 19
Snow: 5"
Place in Challenge on Sunday night: 139/572 This is a 12 place improvement, which (honestly) I am surprised by. I am not cranking out massive mileage at the moment. It will be interesting to see what happens over the Holidays. Since people (HOPEFULLY) are not traveling, I have to think (HOPE) there will be more people, running more miles.
