I can’t agree more with you- Just run! I’ve almost busted my ass a few times this week on black ice with the dogs and couldn’t imagine being excited to run outside because of it. But to each their own.

It’s my weekend tradition now. :) The “advice” is just so bad out there on the internet. I even side eye running “coaches” because it seems really easy to pass a test to become a “coach” without having any real experience or oversight. We love the analytics! Forget tips and advice- just constantly monitor what works and doesn’t. It’s so easy! :)<br /><br />I won’t listen to music outside (except some races) but I can’t run on the tread without it. I cat listen to podcasts either- it slows me down too much.

They need to take a lesson from Chicago!<br /><br />Fingers crossed everything keeps going well for the 75% remaining :) Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846036242883194347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-24232869271300613092018-01-08T10:50:51.215-06:002018-01-08T10:50:51.215-06:00Nice idea about using the free Wi-Fi.

I started filling up my SD Card with music and podcasts for when I workout, but I should see if my gym has Wi-Fi so I can stream.Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-55990770319347344952018-01-08T10:15:21.528-06:002018-01-08T10:15:21.528-06:00That is so awesome that MRC has been around for th...That is so awesome that MRC has been around for three years! Wow! Time flies!!!! And awesome that you are killing your paces!<br /><br />LOL re: blogger tips about running. I die.

My gym has free wi-fi so I have some online playlists that I can only listen to when I'm on the TM (we have a cheap data plan, so that doesn't work outside), which makes it a little more fun :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-51235427990267971172018-01-08T10:04:14.737-06:002018-01-08T10:04:14.737-06:00Every week I read your posts and laugh at the snar...Every week I read your posts and laugh at the snark and think how awesome you are. :)<br /><br />My thoughts on running in the cold are if you can/want to do it, do it. If you don't or can't, then run inside. It's pretty simple. It's been cold and awful here too, and the sidewalks are largely not shoveled (and thus extremely uneven, which is annoying enough for walking Heidi much less running without hurting myself) so the only "tip" in that situation is to hop on the treadmill. I am glad that you were able to get outside with MRC on Saturday!<br /><br />I can't even imagine a 6:18 pace. That's so fast! And I'm glad that you're so excited about your training. You're going to destroy your PR :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-42773740762609054422018-01-08T09:48:01.937-06:002018-01-08T09:48:01.937-06:00Love the coffee mug and the whipped cream and cinn...Love the coffee mug and the whipped cream and cinnamon on top of the coffee, that's the best way to drink it! Ha, I can't believe you don't want to take some random non-runner blogger's advice on how to run in the cold! I think we both come from the same place when it comes to blogging. Post our running experiences and what's worked and not worked, and let others decide if that approach is right for them (or not). By the way, how do you get motivated to run in the winter?! :) Having Raynauds this time of the year sounds definitely like a pain, so the TM sounds like your only option. I used to be more hardcore about never running inside, but now I will knock off two miles on the TM post-workout and it's not so bad. I never really feel safe running with headphones navigating city streets, but have discovered it's fun to sometimes jam to tunes on a treadmill. Great mileage for the week and yes, you are well on your way to a glorious PR at Boston!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.com
