Six in the morning with Kim. When we started we had a nasty wind with snow pellets smacking our face but thankfully after the first mile or so the wind died down and it ended up being a pretty nice run.

Later to the gym for 30 min XT and some core.

So THAT is where the snow was!!! I was on the treadmill at the gym and they were showing this nasty snow and I looked outside to partly sunny skies. I was confused!

Glad to see things are going well. What race is next for you two???

Tom, you really seem to be low key about your running this year? Goals, races ahead, whats up?

Kelli and Brent thanks for the feedback. I am taking things a bit low key for the first part of the year. The 1 goal I do have is to snag a marathon PR in the fall so I'll start focusing on that in a couple months or so. And I imagine I'll get in a few shorter races in the summer.

Mostly just enjoying not being injured at the moment and occasionally putting on my Coach Tom hat.

He looks really good in his Coach Tom hat! I like when he wears it! :)

Best way to train and enjoy Tom!

Sounds like a very smart and enjoyable plan! St George???
