3.2 miles from home after school. 8:30, 7:59, 7:52 (24:19), 25:12, 25:52. Brisk pace, but not hard. Another perfect day in paradise. 40 degrees, light drizzle.
I'm really going to miss these days when it's -10 degrees and windy. I remember January of 1977 ('78?), doing two-a-days in Plattsburg, NY. The temperature never broke zero for the month! Lake Champlain froze so solidly the ferry couldn't run and 18 wheelers simply drove across the ice to Vermont. The average temperature for our morning runs was -12. The coldest I ran in was -25. As long as I warmed up and humidified the air through a scarf (I preferred mohair, of all things), the cold never bothered me much. At 48 years old, though, I don't enjoy the cold quite as much as I used to. But I do enjoy it more than most people (perfect temperature range for me is 15-45 degrees - anything more is hot), so I'll try to hold off on the whining.
Feeling tired (probably just the holidays, travel, high miles, and staying up late watching some dumb ballgame I normally wouldn't give a crap about - I'm generally an early to bed, early to rise type.)
Doing a little spreadsheet planning.
Goals: get 1000 miles in first 26 weeks (Nov. 11 - May 10).
Right now I've got 60.5 in the first 16 days, with 29.5 over the last 7
200 miles in March - first 200 mile month
