Got out about 7 pm tonight for a 4.3 mile run in the dark. It was very cold, about 13 degrees with freezing fog which stuck to my eyelashes and beard. Other than that, I ran pretty well and didnt slip and slide too much. Splits:

4 slowish miles today. Slowed down a lot by the tiredness in my legs from just waking up and running. low 20s with w/c's pretty similar. Not too bad of weather this time of year. Streets are still snowed over so its tough to run hard in places. Splits:

1- 7:12.5

2- 7:22.7

3- 7:14.0

first tempo run of the new season. Perfect weather for it. Very rare to get this warm in december, but it was 53 today while I ran. Everything was melting and with shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt with rolled up sleeves and a hat, i was sweating big time. Not complaining! Splits:

Last run of 2010. Finished the year with 1443 miles, which is 115 less than last year. Had a tougher season this year. There was no signature race or any race of a distance longer than 10k. Although I had two seperate training sessions geared for longer races, I never ran one either because of getting worn out or injury (foot problems at the end of november). Overall, my season had 3 major highlights.

3- 17 mile long run in april. Longest run ever, ran for over 2 hours.

2- 16:47 5k clocked at the Carlisle 4th of July 5k. tied for 2nd fastest ever 5k

1- Winning 3 of my first 3 races of the year, including a win at the 10k distance, representing the first win at a distance longer than 5k. See My Races.

Bring on 2011! My upcoming goals:

1- Run a marathon....finally.

2- Break 1:20 in the half!

3- Run a marathon while in Germany

4- Break 3:00 in the marathon.
