Weekend treadmill running & 7 week half marathon program

Its really really cold over the weekend and snowed quite a lot too. Now if this were Michigan, I wouldn't have complained about the snow. They do a good job of cleaning the streets and sidewalks there. Unfortunately thats not the case in Virginia. So I just ran indoors on the treadmill.

Ran 2.5 miles on Friday with pace of 10min/mile and
ran 2.0 miles on Saturday with pace of 10min/mile.

The program says I should have run 5M on Friday, 3M on Saturday and 7M on Sunday. But I wasn't sure I could do it. Hence ramping it up.

Since I didn't run on Sunday, I will run 3M today (Monday) and let Tuesday be the rest day. Got to do 5M Wednesday. Then 3M on Thursday, 5M Friday, 3M SaturdayLets see how that pans out.

Summary for January 2010:

Got an email from Active.com about the Sun Trust National Marathon in DC on March 10th. Asked Madhura to register us. We have pre-qualified (half marathon in 2:30). So we are good.
Chalked out a 6 week running program on LogYourRun starting next week. Let's see if I can follow it.
