  • Yesterday I bought a Nike primaLoft technology running jacket. When Nike says that the coat traps heat within small air pockets, they are not messing around. I felt as if I was running in a sauna! It was beyond awesome! My winter is looking a whole lot bearable and doable! Also, I purchased the coat for a whopping $12.00! Bonus win!

Workout: Long run

  • I still love my new Nike coat. It was 23° when I left the house. I was actually warm the entire run. I even considered removing one of the extra undergarments that I had worn. That is a first for me!
  • I was disappointed with my total weekly mileage. I fell short by 9 miles which is fairly significant. Since I added cross-training into my weekly schedule, I can't seem to figure out how to work in a day off from running without sacrificing a large mileage day. It seems that my only option is to run twice on one of those cross-training days since my mileage is so low. Afternoon workouts are extremely difficult to manage. I am one of those people that the moment my foot enters my home, I do not want to leave!
