Weather - 37 degrees, sunny. Took a nice easy run today, mostly on plowed roads, but did about 1 mile through thick snow in Buesy Woods. Felt pretty fresh considering I ran 2 hours yesterday. Ran about 1.5 miles at threshold pace, felt good to move a little quicker than normal.

Awesome job Will. Looking strong. What's your race schedule look like coming up? You're going to set HUGE PRs! That's a definite

Benn - Hopefully the rest you are taking now will make your foot better quickly, it should not take too long - hang in there, and keep testing it, just be mindful not to over-stress it. Just watched the Giants knock off the Pats - that was a great game!

I plan on running a 9 mile trail race in a couple of weeks, I am not expecting much from that one, other than a good training session. The first race where I should be ready to run is in mid-March, a road 15K. After that I plan on running some spring circuit races with the club I belong to. My first try at a 5k PR will be in late May. There is still a lot of training to be done.

You are a machine, Will. Yeah this week has been by far the hardest "rest" week I've ever taken, probably because it wasn't exactly wanted. It was great to finally see a NY team win the super bowl. I remember as a kid always being "one of those fans" that was loyal to the New York teams, while everyone else picked the 'winners' the Cowboys, 49ers, etc etc. I wish I had your talent and ability to run that long without days off! good job.
