Training Run 63.7 miles total

Winter training is difficult, but this year has been especially hard.  Snow and extreme cold make running outside difficult and dangerous.  So several of my training runs have been on the treadmill.  When we made the challenge to run 460 miles, I felt that treadmill runs weren't the same as running outside.  There is something about propelling your own body forward that is empowering.  It isn't the same as trying not to fall off a machine.  Finally a day presented itself for an outdoor run and I took advantage of it to boost our totals.  12 miles was on my training schedule, so I loaded up my Ipod with podcasts and hit the track near my work.  It was a beautiful day for a run.

At least I didn't have to utilize the PT equipment in the middle of the track.

Sadly, my knee fell victim to my poor shoe choice, and I was only able to complete 9.7 miles before walking to the car.

Not a bad run, and it did raise our total to 63.4 miles.  On our way...
