By the way I ran 6 miles today in the snow.  I was a little faster because it was alot colder than normal.]]>Sat, 02 Jan 2010 12:21:50 -0800http://www.enduranceforhope.com/1/post/2010/01/colder-today.htmlI ran 10 miles around lunch time and man was it cold.  We got a little snow this morning but just a dusting.  I will be glad when spring gets here.  I hope the weather in Florida will be nice next week.  Looks like were going down while it is going to be very cold here.  I have one more run to do in Tennessee before the marathon.  I will run 6 miles on Monday.  ]]>Fri, 01 Jan 2010 14:41:36 -0800http://www.enduranceforhope.com/1/post/2010/01/very-cold.htmlIt was very cold this evening but I still ran 4 miles.  I am still shivering as I type.  I can't wait to get to Florida and to the warmer weather.  We will be leaving on Tuesday and we are staying in Orlando for a week.  We are all driving down and riding in a van we have rented.  This trip will be something to remember I'm sure.  I will run 10 miles tomorrow in the cold again.  I don't think it is suppose to warm up for a while.  I hope everyone has had a Happy New Year.]]>Wed, 30 Dec 2009 18:11:10 -0800http://www.enduranceforhope.com/1/post/2009/12/cold-5-mile-run.htmlI ran 5 miles today.  It was cold but I had a good time.  It was spitting snow during most of the run.  I can't believe the marathon is almost here.  Just a little over  a week.  We are going down to Orlando next Tuesday.  I am excited and hope to have even a better time this year than in 2008.  I don't run tomorrow but I will run on Friday.  I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.]]>
