Well here we are, a little under a month before I have my first indoor meet of the year and I'm ecstatic. Finally got back to serious training during Christmas break and have felt great ever since. The mileage has been fairly low (anything from 4-8 miles a day), but all of it has been run at sub-7 pace.

It's been ungodly cold this past week, not that I'm complaining about it or anything. The mercury really hasn't fallen low enough for me to see any reason to wear more than two layers of clothes. The only thing to worry about are my hands freezing, which is very likely with the gloves I've been wearing. I have yet to find the perfect set of gloves, but such is life. Anyway, today's run was pretty fun, but quite uneventful. Ran for a little over 50 minutes in the wonderful county park 3 miles from where I live. What used to be snow covering the trails is now a nice layer of ice, which isn't as bad as it sounds because the footing is surprising good.

As for my life outside running I have just finished what has to have been the most boring weekend I have had in quite some time. Shit happens I guess. That's all for now. Lataz~ Rich
