3 miles on the treadmill - 9:15

930am - 68F in the house, though it's slightly cooler in the kitchen, which is where i put the treadmill two days ago when i moved it from work to the house. so the first half mile or so of the run today was spent on and off the hamster wheel making adjustments, shimming corners etc. our house is old and the floors aren't 100% level. anyway i think i got the treadmill dialed in and ready for many more mind numbing miles down the road.

no end of year summary. except to say it took me a long time to work up to the 30-40 miles a week that im generally doing now. after several years of trying to build back a mileage base too quickly for my average and aging body and getting knocked back by injuries and/or fatigue, i finally found enough patience to get to a place where i feel like it's safe to start training again this spring. hopefully a year from now i'll have some fun stats to summarize here on FRB.

Happy New Year!
