Last run of the year and I was glad to be out running this morning. It was almost 40 degrees with a slight north breeze, still chilly for us Las Vegas wimps. Legs are feeling better today with most of the soreness gone. I guess it's that time of year when you start to think about running goals for the upcoming year and things you want to accomplish. One of my biggest goals would be to drop these last 15-20 pounds that I am packing around my waist. I think that goal alone would help me to become a better runner. I would like to make this the year that I qualify for Boston at SGM. If I can stay injury free, I think I can do it. I would like to improve my PRs at all the distances I run this year starting with the mile and 5K as well as the half and full marathons. I would also like to keep my weekly mileage consistantly above 45-50 miles. I think the consistancy will add tons to my endurance which is what I seem to be lacking the most. Anyway, best wishes for a happy new year to all of you out there.

Nice start to the new year. Wasn't sure if I was even going to make it out running on new years day but finally just sucked it up and went at around noon. Nice run and fairly easy pace. Ran outside the complex today and did the big loop up to my kids school and back. Traffic was fairly light most of the way and the run was just the way I like it, uneventful. Went to dinner with Meg and we talked about our new year resolutions for fitness and running. We both want to shed some weight, (me about 20 lbs.) and I have a goal to stay healthy and BQ this year at St. George. We also want to work on strengthening our core muscles by doing a good core workout each night before bed. Should be and exciting and eventful year if all goes as planned.

Legs were a bit tired this morning and the run was a lot of work. Still feeling it a bit from yesterdays run I guess. One eventful item this morning was Megs Garmin 301 freaked out and clicked off 4 miles in a matter of about 10 seconds. Even when we stopped it kept counting up the miles. We both wear the 301 and hers is always behind mine at each mile. I'm not sure why that is but it does seem to have its share of problems each day. We may try calling tech support or try sending it back to Garmin for fixing. So according to her 301, her fastest pace today was about 740 mph and she ran 7 miles in 21 minutes.....nice eh!

Still feeling a bit worn out today. Took it relatively easy and ran pretty slow. Legs just don't seem to have any zip in them. I think the holidays, time off and poor diet have been factors in helping me to feel so yucky. Now that the holidays are over and I can get back into my usual weekly routine my hope is that the running will start to feel better. Weather continues to be relatively mild here with todays temp at 41 and very light breeze.

Today was the best I have felt all week for a run. Meg talked me into cutting the run short today and spending some extra time after the run stretching. Seeing as how crappy I have felt all week I decided that it may not be a bad idea. We ran at a fairly moderate pace for the entire run and then spent about 20 minutes stretching and I did some rolling and massage on my calfs and shins. I actually feel rejuvinated and hopefully tomorrows long run will be a good one.

Nice easy long run today. Skies were very cloudy today and the starting temp was around 52 degrees. Needless to say, we were overdressed for the occasion so after the first five mile loop we passed by the house and I shed my coat. All I had on was my SGM 2006 shirt and some sweats. I would have like to been in shorts today but didn't feel like changing mid run. Felt really good most of the way today and the except for the breezy weather everything was nearly perfect. I would have liked to step the pace up just a little bit faster today but Meg was not feeling all that great so we kept it easy. May run a couple more miles later this afternoon with Cory as he continues to prepare for the Painter's 5K in 2 weeks.
