This was a pretty good week.  I lost another 2.5 pounds (total of 8 pounds since January 1st).  I also finally got my new office at work.  I have been a nomad of office spaces for the last four months.  It was worth it.

As of the end of this week, I will be a month out from the New Orleans Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon.

Monday (1/25):  I ran 5 miles on the treadmill at the Wellness Center.  Pace average: 8:51

Tuesday (1/26):  No workout

Wednesday (1/27): I ran 4.2 miles with my MUSC running group at 5:30 am.  We averaged a 9:30 pace.

We ran 12 miles in downtown Charleston.  It started out chilly at 34 degrees but filled out nicely to the low 50s.  We averaged a 9:59 pace.  We passed our running buddy Renee several times, she was killing 14 miles in her marathon training.

It was a beautiful morning in Charleston.

Well it was a really cold week in Charleston.  Because of this, I was sick with a cold most of the week.  I missed my long run this week, but did get some work in on Saturday.  As of the end of this training week, I will be five weeks out from the New Orleans Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon.

Wednesday (1/20): I ran 4.25 miles with my MUSC running group at 5:30 am.  It was cold!  My Garmin said it was 30 degrees; however, the local weather stated that it was 24 degrees.  We averaged a 9:17 pace.

Thursday (1/21): No workout

Friday (1/22): No workout

Saturday (1/23): Because I was sick we did not do a long run today, so I walked 6 miles on the treadmill at the house while we got a small snow dusting outside.  Glad we decided not to run today.

But I had great support on the treadmill from Jack who is on the bar stool, and Olaf looking out the window at the snow.
