Extreme cold warnings have been posted for almost every day in February.
Yesterday was brutal. This afternoon was also very cold . I had given up putting in a run today. Late afternoon, I walked over to the Beer Store ot pick up a couple of Heineken Beer.. I was feeling down and in need of some soothing. I realized that the cold was less brutal than earlier in the day. . I decided I should try for a run.
Ran 6.49K.
This evening, I am feeling better. The below zero temperatures, ice and snow have stopped me on a number of days from training.

Cold weather has interfered with my training.
Following a two-day layoff because of a severe cold weather warning, I ran in the late afternoon.
Distance 6.33K. I was tired and not feeling 100%. On a positive note, its a run.

Sunday Feb. 22
My blog has become more of a personal journal. A record of my run training.
One of the Blogs that I am following a bike blog written by a local lady.
Totally Spoked Check it out.
I did not run today. I went to Learn to Curl. I decided to take lessons with the long-term goal of becoming a "curler." Most Sunday afternoons since the latter part of October I have been learning how to "curl". So far, I like it. This Friday afternoon (coming) I have signed up for a "real " game. Hoping, I have a good experience.
My goals for the week are to get in some training. & hopefully do some snow shoeing.

Late afternoon, I was in the running spirit. It was snowing heavily, and the paths and the roads had not been plowed.
Did a 6.82K. Feel very good about my run. as it was it was rough going.
Feeling stiff. A yoga class or a bath might be a good idea.

Tuesday Feb. 10
Weather was good today. -9C. In the late afternoon, I put in a good run. 8.65K.
My longest run this year.(I think).
Feeling good about this.
My training is technically based on distance. I have a Garmin 10. It register time and distance, however as there is lots of snow and ice and traffic to contend with on my run, I don't bother about my time.

Tuesday, 2 February
A very cold day. late afternoon, I managed to motivate myself to do a run.
. Temperature was - 17C and the sidewalks and roads were icy and had not been cleared from the last night's snow. Twice I had to stop running and get off the road and climb up on the snow bank to let the plows go by. Distance 5.95K . Considering the below Zero temperature, I am happy with the distance of my run.
Used Map My Run. to get the distance stuff.
