Sunday 1/3/10 - Mike and I spent a wonderful, super relaxing weekend up in northern Wisconsin. After work on Thursday we drove up to his mom and step-dad's cabin, where she made a wonderful feast to welcome the new year. Then Friday we drove up to Bayfield, where we met up with my parents. We stayed at a cute B&B (owned by the parents of one of my high school friends). Friday night we exchanged Christmas presents, ate the meatball sandwiches my parents made, drank lots of wine, and played board games. Saturday went into the little shops in Bayfield, saw the casino in the next town over, ate lunch at Maggie's, and ate dinner at the Old Rittenhouse. It was bitterly cold, so we had to drive pretty much everywhere, which meant that I didn't get a lot of exercise. So I forced myself back on the treadmill today (with a few walking breaks interspersed) in order to try to get back in the swing of things. My 2009 running mileage was 169.50 - any guesses how long it will take me to beat that in 2010?
Time: 40 min

Avg Speed: 4.58 mph
Cumulative distance: 3.05 mi

Wednesday 1/13/10 - Even with LOST, I'm getting soooo sick of the treadmill. When will it warm up, so the roads are clear, and be light out in the morning?! Yesterday I did way more walking that running, so I didn't log it here. Today I at least did about half and half, but it was miserable.
Time: 28 min
Distance: 2 mi
Avg Speed: 4.29 mph
Cumulative distance: 13.51 mi
Saturday 1/16/10 - Finally! A bit of a warm-up, at least for MN. It got up to about 20 today, so Amanda (my Saturday running buddy) and I decided to go outside to Lake Harriet. We did a fair amount of walking, but that's okay - at least we got outside. Yay!

Sun 1/24/10 - I was supposed to go running yesterday with my friend Amanda, but the weather was so gross (freezing rain) that we opted to go hang out at Caribou instead. Alas, I dragged myself back onto the dreadmill again today, and it was miserable.
Time: 26.5 min
Distance: 2 mi
Avg Speed: 4.53 mph
Cumulative distance: 22.81 mi
Thurs 1/28/10 - I've been taking it pretty easy the past couple weeks, since I just haven't been motivated to do much in this cold. But today I actually had the urge to run again (will wonders never cease?!), so I hopped onto the treadmill for the first time in awhile.
Time: 30 min

Avg Speed: 4.84 mph
Cumulative distance: 25.21 mi
