Well, last year ended with an end to blogging, and more importantaly with an end that tapered off and didn't make the 1000 mile goal. But I did start running outside in the cold. And I realized at the end that I had made choices earlier in the month and earlier during the year that affected the final outcome. I ended up 18 miles short of 1000, but I was ok with it because I had made those choices throughout the year. I wasn't going to kill myself over it and try to run too much to get to that goal.
On the other hand, this year has started off kind of up and down. The first day of the year, I competed in the downtown 5K, coming in 21st at 23:07. Since then the running has been more off than on with adverse weather outside. Not so much the cold (except for those days of subzero temperatures) but more the snow and ice. Lack of traction is no good. But now things are starting (?) to turn around. Glynis and I got memberships at Anytime Fitness, so at least if I can't run outside, I can run on the treadmill. Yes, it is that good.
So here we go again. I ran 4 miles yesterday and had little idea what I was doing on the treadmill without a pace calculator. And we've started walking inside the plant. Not so much fun for scenery, but gosh how those guys really move when walking! Anyway, we'll see if I can do my tempo run tonight. Report to come later .... till then, kep plodding on ....
