Monday am run Madness

Wow, it's been 5 days since my last run. Holiday season of craziness has gotten started. Nearing the end of semester with all that craziness, plus flying off to Cincy to meet up with my dad to see the first football match up between my VT hokies and Notre Dame, and flying all over the place is the unstable 70 degrees to 30 degrees of craziness wind gust and snow.

Today, Monday, I had to hit the pavement. When I've been gone for a while becauseof work and travel, and my eating and drinking...I mean dranking habits changed I get worried.

This morning it was 31 degrees and windy as all get out. My time was average but to run a 10k after a 5 day rest wasn't so bad. I over did the layers a bit becauseI got hot fast.

It's been a while since I've had on so many layers, so I had to re-adjust there. Plus my body had to get use to movement of layers with the cold.

It's always something :)

This morning all before 6am, I saw two women running. I got excited and tried to catch up to them. Not sure what I would have said but it was nice to see other people, really women running in the cold and dark just like me.

Then I thought, " What the hell are you doing?". If I catch up them, then what? Say Hi?, How's it going.  If someone did that to me I would call the police, ignore their stalker ass, and just be annoyedand unfriendly. So I just kept them in my vision and kept on running.

I needto get ready to finish the running season on a high note. State #21 is coming up on Dec. 4th. I would like to finish strong
