So the bed felt pretty warm this morning and it was tough to peel myself out of it. Good thing for the group run today or I wouldn't have gotten up. Last run of the year with Jeff, Curt, McKay and Andrea. I didn't feel very good this morning and have felt a little under the weather so it seemed a little tougher than it should. Came home and sat in front of the fireplace trying to get warm but now as I'm away from it I getting cold again. Year in Review: I never thought I would run as much as I did this year. It has been fun and I've enjoyed it a lot. When I ran Ogden Half Marathon at the start of the year I never dreamed I would do as well as I did in it. I think it helped fuel a lot of my running this year. The 10K race I did in the middle of the year taught me more about racing strategy. Having a guy sit on my hip for 5 miles only to pass me with about 1/2 left to go gave me a good lesson. And let's not forget St. George, my first marathon. I was planning and training on running it much faster than it turned out but it was a bad week. I've replayed that race in my mind a thousand times on what I could've done better and a million different solutions have come into my mind. So I'm excited to see what a new race season and a few races will teach me this next year. I hope to still have the fire inside next year at this time. Only time and more miles will tell. |
