After a good week of running up in Flagstaff, I had a cold last week that kept me from running. Today I started my 2012 running. I have 14 weeks until the Havasu Half and 22 weeks until UVM and I plan on focusing on those two races for the first half of the year by building milage the right way and hopefully getting back to my Boston 2010 shape without getting injured.

GOOD JOB, Bish! Sounds like a smart plan. I'm sure you'll get back to your Boston'10 shape! :)

Right on, Rhett!!! I plan on starting my 2012 running on Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crosses that I don't get another headache, which prevented me from starting my running today. I'm signed up for UVM, too!

I am also trying to get to my pre-Boston/early March 2010 fitness level! :)

Best of luck to us!!! :)

Smooth, thanks for the confidence

Dale, cool! I'll look forward to seeing you at UVM

Teena, come on. You're already in Boston 2010 shape. You never get out of shape. :)

Sounds like a smart plan Rhett. First goal, don't get hurt. This has often been my mantra when doing lots of things. I adopted it after about five ER/urgent care visits in as many years. It seems to have worked, I've only been back to urgent care for 1 accident since (at least only one that I can remember at the moment).

Rhett, Thanks a ton for randomly checking in and posting on my blog. I greatly appreciate it, even when I'm too lazy to reply.
