Holy crap is it crappy out there! But I did it! I ran three days this week. I RULE.
I spent the night at my sister's last night. We all went to see the late showing of National Treasure 2 and didn't get back until 1 a.m. By then I was too tired to drive, not to mention it was below freezing and I was pretty sure driving up the mountain would have been treacherous. So I crashed on the couch and fell asleep to the flickering warmth of the pellet fire. I don't think I've been that incredibly relaxed in a long, long time.
I got up this morning, fed the animals and then drove to the vet to pick up some k/d for Freddie. I got her two cans of it as well, for a christmas present. She loves canned food but I only give it to her as a treat every now and then. After that, I headed to the library where I picked up some CDs. By the time I got back to my sister's, it was 2:30. I packed up my stuff and took Tank home. It was rainy and windy at my sister's, but not too terribly chilly. I was hoping it'd be the same up at my house.
The rain gods came through once again - it wasn't raining at all at my house. Not only that, but it wasn't windy, either. I scarfed down a granola bar, fed Tank and did a few chores around the house before putting on my running gear and heading down to the track. I didn't want to wait too long and risk running in the dark.
I had on a long sleeved tee shirt, the fleece vest my mom bought me and my rain jacket. It was 44° with no wind or rain. By the fourth run, I had tossed the jacket onto the track next to my crappy gym shoes. All in all, a very good run. Unlike Tuesday and Thursday, I actually wanted to run today. I felt really good out there, too. Taller, somehow. I didn't feel like I wanted to die halfway through, either. I'm improving, but I'm still going to do another round of Week 2 next week. If the weather was warmer, I'd start Week 3, but the cold does a number on my lungs, so I feel like I should take it easy.
So yay for me! I'm so happy.
I need food. All I've eaten today is that granola bar.

Good running day. Go you!!
Make sure you keep a copy of C25k on your pc somewhere if you haven't already. They're going to charge for it soon.
Really?? Thanks for the heads up! I'll go copy it right now.
Yeah, there was a lot of talk about it in the forums before the change went down. I saved a copy just in case. My sister wants to start running. She could definitely use it.
