This has not been a good month for running. Yeesh. Bad weather, too much time sucked into work and school, and an inadvertent pulled muscle right before going on a trip somewhere warmer where I could have gotten some runs in. Ah well.

Just ended a little inadvertent time off on an unseasonably warm Wednesday. So much so that I did not dress correctly; definitely didn’t need that jacket and overheated a bit. Oops!

For January, it was positively lovely out, almost 40 degrees at 7am. Just me and Ben and Steve, for a post-marathon (for them, anyway) jaunt.

Had to take a week off to let the end result of a little medical procedure heal up enough, but hoofed it on the dreaded treadmill for 6 miles to get back into the swing of things. I should have just run outside right after work, but in case there were any problems the treadmill seemed like the wiser option.

Last Thursday was the “last chance run” before the Charleston Marathon… well, for the rest of my group anyway, since I wasn’t going to be able to attend. It was nice to do it with them, though, and wish them on their way!

There’s something great and awful at the same time about knowing that at 5:37am, it’s the warmest the day’s going to get. I’m just glad it didn’t dip back below freezing until after we began, so that the sidewalks didn’t ice over.

The plan was for a 10-miler, but it was brutally cold this morning. Even with an 8am start, we decided it was best to cut it short between weather and a lack of well-maintained sidewalks.

Well, I wasn’t planning on another treadmill run, but a combination of scheduling and potential “wintry mix” tomorrow meant that I gritted my teeth for 7 miles on the demon beast at Washington Sports Club after work. Oh boy.

Another unplanned week off due to a minor medical issue, ho-hum. And then this morning’s run got scrapped due to sleet. 4 miles on the treadmill is less than ideal but certainly better than nothing at all.
