Easy run + level 3 shred.

9:15 am, 20-26°F, 36% humidity, wind 8 S, sunshine.

I was up late working last night. I was awake off and on between 4:30 and 5:30 this morning while my husband got ready for work, and then I went back to sleep until I had to get up at 6:15 to drive to seminary. After the drive to seminary, I did the shred. I often neglect to do the shred when I alter my routine and don't run first thing, so I made a point of doing it today.

I managed to get some work done while I was getting the kids off to school and then I finally got out for my run after the kids were off to school. I wore the same clothes that I wore yesterday (I washed them after my run yesterday) and I was a little too warm today. The temperature was warmer, but it was windier, so I thought that with the wind chill it would be like yesterday, but it wasn't quite.

I felt really sluggish when I started out, but I was feeling better by the end.

AP: 9:41. Splits: 10:08, 9:49, 9:46, 9:25, 9:34, 9:27, 0.20 @ 9:21.

I'm having trouble with Garmin Training Center this morning. I managed to get todays run uploaded and then it crashed and now I get an error every time I start it. I've tried reinstalling it, and no dice. I've sent the log file of my error to Garmin. I hope they're able to help me.

Nice run Carolyn! Even though you had little sleep and energy.

Good luck with the Garmin, wish I could help but that is NOT my specialty! :)

Great run! What is a "shred"? Also, what kind of work do you do?

The shred is a workout video: Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred.

I work for Visa in client training. I create online training that bank personnel use to learn about Visa card processing.

How nice that you got to run in the daytime again. Thanks for coming over today, I had a good time.

Great job! Why is it you live in CO and can run more than me??? It is so warm by you! I"m very jealous! I have pretty much given up on January. I think if I get in 80 miles this month I will HAVE to be happy!

From The Quiet Pirate on Fri, Jan 08, 2010 at 20:01:09 from 65.191.134.20

You've got great mileage for this week, despite all the really cold weather and snow.

The shred video is fun. I love that it's only 20 minutes.

Have a wonderful week-end!
