i didn't run as much as i had planned on running while in portland. i'm starting to get back into my training to prepare for the eugene half, but it's still early enough that i don't have to be hitting the pavement too hard just yet. i want to train hard again this time, but i also don't want to burn out. i'm still at a point where if i am absolutely dreading a workout, i don't do it (thank goodness for yoga classes!). there were multiple days in portland that fell into that category partly because it was just so cold! like i've said before, i'm not a fan of running in horrible weather. and, in my mind, 34 degrees with 20 mph winds is horrible weather. frozen wrists, frozen ears, and cheeks that feel like i fell on a plate of sewing needles is not something i enjoy.
it is amazing how 45 degrees seems amazingly fantastic after that. we're going on 3 solid days of "warm", sunny weather. i'm feeling renewed in my desire to run and i'm beginning to get the itch again!
