I like to get outside for at least the long run and tempo days of my week. Now that I'm not coaching I don't "need" to get outside for anything really! I wish we had more snow around here. I had cross country skis when I was a kid, but we don't get enough snow now to use them. I can totally see you doing that 50K!TechChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960422420943812763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-20373384992808650322022-01-11T16:34:25.900-06:002022-01-11T16:34:25.900-06:00I can't say I have a lower limit--it's all...I can't say I have a lower limit--it's all about the wind!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-45107916075953016962022-01-11T16:34:00.025-06:002022-01-11T16:34:00.025-06:00See, that's what I remind people when they wan...See, that's what I remind people when they want to move to Florida.

Today we were running on long, icy, muddy grass by the side of the path while other runners just zipped along the path on the ice - how did they do it? They were mainly a lot younger than us!<br /><br />I have a BIG birthday just about to hit. I was going to do 50k in my birthday week, but that idea left the building when I overtrained and burnt out last autumn. I just want to get back to doing 10 or 13 miles easily by the end of the year, then hope to do another marathon next year. Good luck with your plans, which seem eminently sensible to me!LyzzyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398604923871095647noreply@blogger.com
