How did running last week?

Those of you not posting: Feeling bad about not currently running/too embarrassed to admit you haven't been able to drag yourself out to run? Maybe knowing you're not the only one having trouble finding motivation can actually help you find motivation. (I know when I've had longer breaks, it can be depressing to hear about how well seemingly everyone else is doing.)

Ran a very tiny 5K race on Saturday, so tiny that I was the first over-40 woman (they had four awards, for first man and woman over and under 40) and won a gift certificate to the local running store for a pair of shoes! Unfortunately it's restricted to a particular brand, not one I use, but I am thinking of getting trail shoes with it. I didn't PR, though, and I was a bit disappointed by that as I am trying to improve.

My running has been going well as we have had a very dry and (apart from one early very cold snap) warm winter. Today it was a bit below freezing although sunny, but most days it's been 40-45F (5-7C), and I have run in shorts or running skirt a half dozen times! Definitely easier to run, though, when I don't have to cope with bad weather as so many of you do.

Sorry about the no PR, but hey, award! Still pretty awesome!

5-7C sound a lot nicer then the zero-to-5-below C we having. Can't wait for balmy spring, mmm.
