Weather - 33 degrees, windy, cloudy. It felt like winter today, so I wore a lot of layers and trudged to the park and woods. After 2 miles my legs started to feel loose so I picked up the pace a bit. Just an easy 5 miles while admiring all the leaves on the ground. I noticed that November 9, 2007 was my first blog entry at FRB, and I ran 5 miles that day. So I have made a full rotation around the sun, my commitment to running and staying fit not wavering. With a full year of consistent running behind me, perhaps this year more progress can be made. I certainly feel more confident because I remained injury free, and I can run a variety of distances, from 5k's to ultras. Not much is holding me back right now. Running in the cold today, it was like I never left last winter. In a perverse way, I kind of enjoy winter running, the toughness acquired last year never left me, and I am ready once again to battle the elements in my quest to remain fit. #359
