Running in the Middle

5 TM miles in the ice cold garage.  It was nice to get a run in finally.  After two weeks off, had one run, got sick, ended up making that three weeks off.  Not exactly as planned, but now I have a lot of work to do to get back on my game.  Felt it in my run tonight, some of my fitness has been lost.  Sad, but at least its the new year and time for new goals and new resolutions.  I can find motivation in that.

4 on the TM.  1/2 mile warmup, 3 mile sorta tempoish pace , 1/2 mile cool down.  Well I finally decided on my new years resolution.  Made a goal to run 1000 miles in 2013.  I figured that is about a 20 mile a week average, so I guess I better get to work.  Maybe if I could find a good race to sign up for in feb or march I could get some good motivation going on.

Nice easy 5 miles on the treadmill tonight, AP 9:00.  1/2 mile cool down at the end.

It was nice to take it easy, sometimes I forget that its ok to have an easy run once in a while.  I need to remind myself not to push too hard after coming off a three week break, gotta ease back into it.

Got a 2 for 1 deal in the garage tonight, ran and iced at the same time.  Did 1/2 mile warm up, then 3miles with AP 8:22, then 1/2 mile cool down.  Kudos to all those brave souls who ventured out into the frigid cold today for their run.  I really just hate January and can't wait for it to be over.
