| Busiest day of the year for me at work, so not a ton of time. I am pleased I have been able to get back running and my old injuries appear to be just that, old injuries. My goal was and is to get back to the starting line and back to Boston, etc .. blah blah... but I need to do a 5K and see if it hurts as so far the training has been fine, but I lack speed. I mean I always lacked speed, but now I REALLY lack speed. I guess I will see when I try and push something for more than just intervals.

| So my goal has been to get back to the starting ever since the trifecta of injuries starting as far back as 2011. The last 5K I ran was 2012. In 2015 I ran 1500 miles, most in the last half so I finally felt like I could 'race' a 5K and hope to do an April marathon.
I am mixed on how I feel. It was 26 degrees with wind chill in the teens. The course was NOT favorable and the cold win against us. I checked who was there and some local elites came out. The best time was 20 flat from a guy that is WAY faster than that. So I am trying to keep my feelings in check because I hate my time. Yet people are telling me how solid a run it is for that course and weather and previous years results (by good runners) seem to support that. I just am trying to be patient with my comeback and yet I want my old times back an more. I guess I am being selfish. Maybe I am just mad because I started too fast and the mile 2 hill ate up my mile 3 comeback.... on the positive.. I am SO THANKFUL to actually run a race again - PAIN FREE. Well except the breathing. That was painful. Garmin splits- well they add up right, but even though it was a head wind/hill mile 2 the gaps seem huge. Mile 1 5:46 flat/head wind Mile 2 8:15 uphill/wind Mile 3 downhill 6:58 The .11 was 46s (7 pace).

| Cold 25, slog recovery run. Just wanted to get out for an easy 12. A few more runners out today that I have never seen before. Then I remembered the date. Resolutions abound. Time to play some lego dimensions.
