Still very cold snowy weather so I haven't been able to get myself to go out and run in the freezing cold. There is snow on the ground, cold weather, icey conditions, etc...I am not even sure if it is good on the lungs to run when it is this cold! I exercised this morning 7 a.m. on the Dance Dance Revolution for about 1 hour. I played on standard mode and worked up a big sweat. It felt nice to work out some even if it wasn't a run but I miss running already and feel out of shape!

Manton, CA. Stayed with Nick's aunt and uncle in Manton, CA (North of Redding) and so I ran on the dirt trails around there home to the paved road. I had to go later morning because of the cold. It was about 20 degrees early a.m. so I had to wait until it warmed up some. The elevation was 3,000. I would have to say this was one of my hardest runs. It was only 3 miles but I was huffying and puffing almost the whole time.I also had to spit a couple of times because my throat felt gross and salty. Reasons I think for that: 1. elevation 2. maybe coldness 3. first mile or so was all up hill 4. it had been about a week since I last ran. So obviously I didn't feel too great but luckily the way back was down hill. I ran out their dirt drive way to the 1 mile dirt road and down the "forward" rd about .5 mile. Then I turned around. It was mountain lion territory so it was a little scary but I think they come out at night. I only saw one truck drive past me and a barking dog or 2 and some goats.

Paradise, CA. Ran later morning as well to wait until it warmed up. Not as cold here as it was in Manton because of the elevation difference. Ran solo because dad was at work. I ran from parents place to the PHS track and ran 2 miles on track and then back. My lungs were still giving me trouble. I felt like I had to work extra hard to do the 3 miles. There were some hills but not too bad. The track was all flat so I just dont' understand. I think it still is bothering me from yesterday and maybe the cold weather too. Hopefully it will get better soon. I just feel so lathargic as far as running. No pain though!
