  • Continue to focus on negative splits - All of my runs were!
  • I am LOVING running in the cold weather.
  • I really like not having a 'set' training schedule.  It allows me to listen to my body and respond accordingly.     
  • I have decided cycling on the trainer is a MUCH better workout than on the road.  Especially the interval video I have been doing... hot sweaty mess. 

Have you all seen this part of Saucony.com's webpage?  
You can make your own 'THIS IS MY STRONG' shirt.  
They are not expensive + all shirt profits go to Run For Good Foundation.  

This is what mine would be... what words would you use??????

  2. Agreed, I totally get a better workout when I'm in spin classes as opposed to being out on the road.

    When I'm biking outside, the environment is super limiting (with street lights and such because I live in the city) and I can't really push it...plus I don't wan't to get hit by a car or fall or anything like that, so I am always more hesitant/cautious.

    Great training so far!!

  8. omg omg OMG i need one of those shirts right now!! also, love your training - even though you were above your goal mileage its def good to listen to your body and not force workouts and miles on days you don't want them - and get them in on the days you do!! In the cold I'd totally pick riding the trainer over the roads any day - you can push it a LOT more :-D

  11. Glad to see you RUNNING & BIKING. Those were 2 super passions of mine and I mainly use the elliptical for convenience. To give you background I used to run 8 miles a day at about 8 min. miles with hills,,never missed a day and biked in the evening and weekends. It is a super passion. Ride and run forever.
