Where does time go? It seems like time flies by.\u00a0 It is almost Christmas and almost a new year. 2008 has flown by with lots of great stuff happening.\u00a0 This week was no exception.\u00a0 It is a busy time at work as we prepare for “winter break” and the students start getting antsy.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong> was my requisite day off of running.\u00a0 I sadly failed part way through my Week 5 Day 1<\/a> of the hunderd push-up challenge. I got 82 of 145 done before I couldn’t squeeze out another one and collapsed to the ground. After recovering a little I did my Prehab: Core, Hip, and Elasticity workouts. I also biked to work in the snowy slush.\u00a0 It was fine except that the bike I planned to use for the winter didn’t workout too well because the suspension system on it made the bike too small for me.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday<\/strong> I did 5 miles along the Greenway doing an out and back heading west.\u00a0 It was pretty uneventful but it is interesting to point out that the Greenway was plowed better than the road next to my house! I did it 38:41. It was about 16 with a wind chill of 0.<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/strong> I took my new video camera along for a 3.5 mile run at Powderhorn Park.\u00a0 I took some video of the snowy park which helped make the run longer! The snow also made the run a little more difficult because only some of the sidewalks around the park had actually been plowed.\u00a0 I’m still trying to edit the video to make it right but you can see a rough edit here<\/a>.\u00a0 It was about 2 degrees without a significant wind chill. Since I failed on the push ups I went back to Week 4 Day 2 and did the 3rd column (last week I did the 2nd) which is a little harder as a result I did 140 push ups. \u00a0 I also worked out on the Physioball.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/strong> I did a newer 3 mile loop which goes along the Greenway heading East and then takes the Hiawatha LRT trail north to the 24th St bridge and then head home.\u00a0 It is a nice change of pace that I did in 24:00. It was about 9 and sunny which felt nice. I did my Prehab Core, Hip and Elasticity.<\/p>\n

I had planned to run on Friday<\/strong> but woke up pretty tired and unmotivated. So I decided not to.\u00a0 I then looked at the weather and realized it was -1 outside (air temp) and was glad of my decision.\u00a0 So I did my push ups getting most of the way through Day 3 of Week 4. I didn’t finish but I didn’t write down how many I got. I think I was a little frustrated at myself. I was so wrapped up in editing that stupid video that I forgot to post a Foto Friday!<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong> was a very nice morning. It was sunny and 28 without any major wind.\u00a0 The Polar Bear group met at Lake Harriet Bandshell and we ran around Lake Calhoun, Cedar Lake, and Lake of the Isles.\u00a0 It was about 9.4 miles and as usually happens with this group we went out pretty fast.\u00a0 A small group of us settled into a comfortable pace and let the rest of them go out.\u00a0 We never got too far behind but just enough that it was impossible to catch back up easily.\u00a0 It was a gorgeous day to be running and a good workout.<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong> on the other hand wasn’t too pleasant.\u00a0 It was 36 with freezing rain when I woke up. I almost didn’t go but decided I couldn’t take another day off this week and the weather was only going to be getting worse. Our group met at Minnehaha Falls and ran to Fort Snelling over the 5 bridge backup the East River Parkway crossing the Ford Bridge.\u00a0 It was just under 6 miles.\u00a0 I was wearing shorts and felt fairly comfortable for most of the run.\u00a0 The rain wasn’t too hard but was noticable throughout the run.<\/p>\n

Weekly Mileage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running – 26.3 miles<\/p>\n

Biking – 3.5 miles<\/p>\n

LAST YEAR<\/strong><\/p>\n

I ran 5 miles, biked 16.5 indoors, swam 400 yards, and did the elliptical, stair climber, and rower! I posted a guest review of the St Jude Marathon<\/a> and shared about a 12 Days of Christma<\/a>s give-a-way program which ended up being a huge marketing gimmick. I also posted 9 winter running tips<\/a> and of course a hilarious Foto Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
