Since I missed last weeks Workout Wednesday, I thought I would post it today with the results of our Winterman Running yesterday.

Hubby did the half marathon (yes, he is THAT crazy) in 1hr 56min.  Which is amazing.  We had a morning of good temperatures and some snow which made footing difficult.  Not too cold but also a tad bit slippery.  Hubby has run in this before so he was prepared.

Since I was running I had to rely on Zoom Photo to capture us so these two photos are courtesy of ZoomPhoto.ca.

I have never run in the snow, so I was not so prepared for my feet feeling like they might slip out from under me at any given moment, so my strides were shorter and the hills were harder (this is the same course I have run for the CIBC Race for the Cure the last two years) add to that the chest cold I have had for a week and a half and the fact that our treadmill broke (a new belt is on the way) so I hadn’t run for a week and a half.  I think I did pretty good at 33min 19sec.  I was really hoping to get below 30min, but it just wasn’t going to happen yesterday. I was thinking this was my first timed run ever, but Hubby reminded me that back in 2000 I ran/walked the 5k with some friends from work and it was timed.  I was able to look up my time from ten years ago and I did the 5k in 41min 41sec.  Pretty sad considering I was 15lbs lighter and ten years younger!!

My plan is still to do the 10k in May and surprise Hubby with it, so my training to get past the 5k will continue, let’s just hope it is a nice day in May for the run.
