LUCKY ONES....

Tomorrow morning I am driving my parents to the Detroit Airport, they are leaving for a 30 days cruise and will spend 10 days after that in Paris... ah retired life is so hard!!!

Since I will be in the states, I will stop at Dick's Sporting Goods trying to find a running skirt. I've heard they have good deals there =) I will also refill on body glide...

It was a good running week despite the rain. I pushed a bit hard on Wednesday... I should have stick to 10:20-30 min/mile... result I was very tired for my run tonight. I am helping moving my friend Flashy this Saturday, so I'll do my long run on Sunday, only 12 miles! I love taper!

This week's recap:
Tuesday 5 miles @ 10:45 min/mile
Wednesday 4 miles @ 9:55 min/mile (PACE)
Thursday 4 miles @ 10:51 min/mile

HAPPY EASTER!!!

My parents are in town for Easter and I am going to celebrate this by running 19 miles tomorrow (so I can eat as much chocolate as I want!) =) We went shopping in the states today and I got 2 new pairs of running shoes (NB and Saucony). I'm very excited to try them out. I didn't find any running skirts there which was my main goal... And I spent way too much money on other things... summer dress and sandals...

Here's last week in review:
Saturday 12 miles @ 11:09 min/mile
Tuesday 5 miles @ 10:23 min/mile (PACE)
Wednesday 5 miles @ 11:03 min/mile (45 km/h wind!!)
Thursday 5 miles @ 11:14 min/mile (35 km/h wind!!)

Happy Easter and have a great running week everyone! =)

WIND CHILL WARNING, STAY INSIDE...

While I run outside!! I felt a little crazy this morning, the weather network indicated a temperature of -18 oC feeling like -28 oC with windchill. My parents were comfortably sipping on hot coffees in my warm apartment while I went for my run... arghh I felt like putting it off but at the same time I was really excited to try on my new shoes!!! This 9 miler went by "quickly" enough, I only felt the cold for the first 3 miles after that I couldn't feel my thighs, legs, feet or face so I was alright! ;-)

Yesterday we went shopping at Birch Run, an awesome outlet mall, where I bought myself some nice Fila winter running gear and two new pairs of Nike running shoes. And today I spent some more money at the Running Factory for a new Fuel Belt, a pair of wool socks and some mittens. Hopefully my next long run will be a little warmer!!

Happy Running everyone! Stay warm! =)
