Five Degrees

Well i've been here for about 6 days an I've run 3 times so far. I've just been running the same 2.25 mile loop. The second run was good I shaved 3 minutes off my time but it still didn't feel very easy.

Today I got up at 6:30 and went out again. It snowed tuesday night thru wednesday morning so it was my first snowy run. It was also a balmy 5 degrees outside! I bundled up and headed out. You may think me a freak but it felt so good to run in the cold again. It takes time for you body to adjust aka go numb but I really enjoyed it. I'm going to have to invest in a brighter colored vest to wear so I'm not decked out in black. Mmmmm shopping for running stuff that's my favorite!

i can move my head this far!

Well I attempted to run on Monday and it wasn't pretty. I jogged for all of 30ft before I stopped and turned around. The muscle strain in my back tweaked with every other step. I've now been resting since Sunday. It's getting better, The pain is more dull and I've gained back a lot of my range of motion. I'm hoping that tomorrow I can get in an easy jog before work. Just 2 days left in the city then I get to go to Ukiah for a week to pack and take the GRE. I leave for Colorado next thursday and then it'll be back to square 1 with training. I'm so ready though!
