January 16th:
one and a half miles in 30 minutes, with three jogging sprints of 1 minute, 1:15,
and 1:30 respectively. I guess switching to walking only for the half-'thon really
set me back a little bit as far as my running is concerned; I used to be able
to knock out two minutes of running at a time before having to walk. Or maybe
it's the fact that I'm running on the treadmill, and probably running faster on
it than I did on the pavement at home. I'd be running outside, but one of the
apartment complexes I run through doesn't believe in clearing off their parking
lot all the way down to the pavement. Until it gets warm enough to melt all that
ice and slush, I risk injury every time I try to run through it.
So the treadmill
it is. Unfortunately.
But at least I can run for a minute or more - this puts
me on a good track towards running my very first 5k in May.

Like Adrith
said -- website overhaul. My socks are not here yet because they had an unexpected
delay in shipping. I jsut ordered an Enell sports
bra. How do you wash a wicking hat?
Clothing dilemmas aside, I need to work
on building up to running and then make up my mind about the next race: walk the
longer distnace or run the shroter one? Good weather here only lasts til about
April-May. After that it's too dang hot to be outside. I'm going to hang my race
big safety pins for summer, so if I want any more races I need to do them NOW.
VERY looking forward to my bike trip. 50 miles of biking!
