Dedicated or Crazy?

I'm not sure which I am.

On Saturday morning, I was up at 7 am to do a long run of about 6 miles on my treadmill in my spare bedroom. With 22 degrees fahrenheit and plenty of wind, there was no way I was going to run outside.

I did it and I'm proud of myself. My running pace this week has been incredibly slow, probably due to a significant increase in distance over last week, a few temporary injuries (the IT band is totally better, thanks Deb), and a transition to strictly treadmill running because it's been so friggin cold out.

Tomorrow it'll be in the 50's, and I look forward to running a few 800's on the Esplanade. Woo hoooo!

Glad the IT pain is gone! It is one of those things that is so tempting to run through, but that just makes it worse, as far as I can tell. Sounds like you headed off anything serious by taking some time off in the beginning. Always better - recovery is longer the longer we let these things go.

And I think that you're dedicated, not crazy. I have to think that, or I'd be calling myself crazy. Another description is "runner." :p

Good luck with the marathon training!
