 I am pretty proud of myself for dragging myself out of bed as it was -15 degrees with the windchill.  It ended up being a much better run then Thursday night. 
Since Runtastic isn't allowing me to upload my runs from my Garmin anymore, I have to find another program to use.  I notice a lot of you use Daily Mile.  Can you upload your runs from your Garmin easily?
This is what my schedule looks like for this week:

Monday: Cross Train

Tuesday: 6K Run

Wednesday: Rest Day

Thursday: 8K Run with the Running Group

Friday: Rest Day

Saturday: 5K Run

Sunday: 10K with the Running Group

4.12K Run

Today I ran 4.12K in 35mins.  I was suppose to run with the running group this morning but it was -16 degrees with the windchill at 8:30am this morning, so I went back to bed.  I ended up running around 1pm when it was only a -5.  Much better.  Runtastic has changed their website so I can`t upload my run.  Hopefully Steven will be able to figure something out when he gets home.

5K Run #2

Tonight I ran 5K in 48mins.  Wish it was a little faster but I am still breaking in my new shoes.  I hate breaking in new shoes!  Any secrets?  My time is not showing in my Runtastic as my Garmin took about 10mins to find a satellite and I did not want to wait.  I missed my run yesterday which I am a bit disappointed in myself about but it has been a rough couple weeks at work lately.  Hopefully next week will be better.

18K Run

Today I ran 18K in 2hours and 56mins with the running group.  Not too bad as this was my longest run yet.  I might have stopped at the Splash Pad at Gibbons Park on the second half of my run.  I noticed my knees and ankles were a bit sore during my run.  Maybe it is time for a new pair of shoes?  When should you by new shoes?  When I got home I have a bath in cold water to help my knees and ankles recoup.  This seemed to help, but my husband thought I was nuts when I ask him to draw me a cold bath.  My distance and and time is not uploaded on Runtastic as my Garmin was having difficulty finding a satellite for the first 10mins.  Also check out the giveaway for Zensah Compression Leg Sleeves at Running Somewhere http://runningtosomewhere.blogspot.com/2011/08/zensah-review-and-100-follower-giveaway.html!

3K Run

Today I ran 3K in 28mins.  I an having difficulty uploading the run to Runtastic, but I hoping to figure that out soon!  It was a very humid run today.  Hopefully it rains overnight to break the humidity as I have a 16K run scheduled tomorrow morning.  Ekkk!  Today I finally registered for the Springbank 1/2 Marathon on September 11.
