checking in, November 2

[ilanarama]

It's still November 1 for me, but it's Monday already in Europe (not to mention the Antipodes) and since I'm in a relatively late time zone, I figured I'd put this here and you all can check in and give each other encouragement until I get up tomorrow morning.

So, how goes your training? What are your current goals? If you're in the northern hemisphere, how are you dealing with winter weather?

cyphomandra, how did you do in your half marathon last week?

I only managed to run twice a week the last two weeks, tsk-tsk. So my current goals (run thrice a week, get to a point where I can run 5.5k in 35 mins) stand, except I seem to be at the beginning of a cold, and unlike isis, running with a cold is way too unpleasant (zomg, my head) to be an option.

ETA, I forgot to talk about winter weather: I'm generally happier running in cold weather than in warm/hot - I wear a lot of clothes, and in particular need to cover my throat with a scarf, but overall, it's more pleasant than running in summer for me. I don't mind running in snow, though we don't get all that much here, but I'm very chicken about running on ice!

Go you for these goals! And I also like running better in cold weather. I don't actually wear much even then - if it's cold but sunny I run in shorts and a t-shirt, and gloves and a fuzzy headband. The scarf sounds like a good idea - I noticed my throat was kind of cold. But my arms and legs don't get too cold.

Go me for having goals I never meet :o) ?

I get cold - I get cold easily and I get hot easily. I'll even wear mittens when running in winter! And of course my trusty earmuffs <3

I'm the same way! I prefer running when it's colder. What's the worst for me is humidity, though.

I finally gave up on running with the cold, by the way. It just made me feel too miserable and I kept thinking I was making it worse rather than getting over it.

I hope you are feeling better!
