On Wednesday I ran 3.74Miles on the treadmill in 48mins.
Thursday I ran 9.3K with the running group in 1 hour and 12mins. This is the route we took:

west Evergreen
south thru Tunnel
west Terry Fox PW
Turn around at Springbank Gardens Building
Start Tempo at the Turn around point

We had to modify the route slightly as there was some flooding near the river.
Today I ran 5.96K in 48mins. Tomorrow I have 20K on the schedule. Hopefully it does not snow over night. I am sick of running in snow.

8K and 6K Runs
On Thursday I ran 8K in 1hour and 7mins with the running group. My ankle was bothering me again because I still have not used my new shoes. I don't want to get them dirty in the slush!
This is the route we took:
Today I ran 6K in 44mins. It was really slushy out today and much warmer!
I reserved a Microsoft Surface Pro from Best Buy today as I have been saving for a new laptop for a while now. The money has been burning a hole in my pocket for a week now and they have been out of stock until this morning! We will go and pick it up tonight when my hubby is done work!
This is the route we took:
Yesterday I received the Ignite Naturals Reload Energy Gel samples that I won from Running Diva Mom's giveaway! I will give them a try on my long run tomorrow. I have not found any gels I like yet, so this should be interesting.

7.87K Run
Last night I ran 7.87K in 1hour and 7mins with the running group. It was a rainy, snowy run. I was slushed by passing cars twice.
This is the route we took:
Today I bought new running shoes. My ankle has been bothering me a little bit, so I think it is time. Saucony no longer makes the Echelon 2 so I bought the Echelon 3.
While I was at the store, I also picked up my race packet for Sunday's Really Chilly 10K Road Race!
I love the race shirt! Pink!

3.1Mile Treadmill Run and Book Review
Last night I ran 3.1Miles on the treadmill in 39mins at an average speed of 4.7.
Last night I also finished Running on Empty: An Ultramarathoner's Story of Love, Loss, and a Record-Setting Run Across America by Marshall Ulrich.
Over all, I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read all that is involved running such a large distance, including the preparation, injuries and other obstacles encountered along the way.
Have you ever used running to run away from something? Did it help, or hurt, the rest of your life?
I find running helps relieves stress after a long, hard day at work.
Ulrich ran a huge portion of the runs with injuries, which also meant that he were in pain. Do you think that you could overcome pain so that you could achieve something that is much bigger than yourself?
I don't think I would be able to over come that amount of pain. A little bit, I can work through, but I try to listen to my body to know when I am running too much.
Would you ever run an ultramarathon, why or why not?
Likely not. I think it is great that people can, but right now 1/2 marathons are my limit.
If you ever attempted a run like Ulrich's, what route would you want to take?
I would try to run across Canada!

An 8K Approximate Run, 7.35K Run and an 11.87K Run
On Thursday night I ran approximately 8K in 1 hour and 15mins with the running group. I left my Garmin in my bag in the office so I am not entirely sure of the distance or time.
We received 25cm of snow on Friday, so I was unable to make up my missed run from earlier in the week.
Yesterday I ran 7.35K in 1hour. Today I ran 11.87K in 1hour and 37mins. I did not run this morning with the running group as it was pretty chilly this morning. We had to pick up a curio cabinet that I had ordered so I decided that I would run home from there as it was close to the 12K I had scheduled. The cabinet barely fit in our SUV so we had to put the passenger seat down as well. The guy at the store seemed to confused how I was getting home. My hubby said it was fine that I was running home. I don't think he believed us, but I did. It was slow going but I finished the run!
Oh, I also won some Reload Energy Gels from Running Diva Mom.
Here is my schedule for next week:

10.32K Run
Today I ran 10.32K in 1hour and 23mins with the running group. It was a tough run on snow covered sidewalks with challenging hills. My legs are paying for it now. I have already had one bath today, but will be heading for another one shortly. This is the route we took:
