Ran 7 miles this morning – first time I’ve seen this distance in a while thanks to my irritable ITB. The 4…yes 4 on the thermometer also meant this was to be a new distance on my new BFF the ‘mill. Well, what can I say…7 miles is a long time to be on the treadmill. I mean seriously, how much Sports Center can a girl watch? At least, watching with the sound off and my music on meant I didn’t have to listen Rex Ryan – I’m a Patriots fan after all…and yes I’m still bitter about last Sunday’s loss!
Having now watched the ChiRunning DVD a couple of times, I tried to take today’s run a little slower and focus on maintaining my posture. It’s amazing how many times I caught myself slumping. There a couple of different “body focuses” in ChiRunning and it’s definitely going to take a little time to master all of them, but I’m going to give it a shot and see what kind of results I get. I’ll update more as I go along.
For now, I’m off to an afternoon of Wii games with the kids and some football – bitterly rooting for the Steelers! 😉
Don’t be bitter–come root for Da Bears!
I thought you were gonna way it was 4 degrees and you ran outside and I was gonna beat myself for milling.
No way – you are far more hardcore about the cold than I am! So far 20’s my limit.
Seven miles on the treadmill? Goodness, you are one tough cookie!

I first heard about chi running when I ran Boston a few years back. I really attribute it to keeping me relaxed and injury free!
