Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2012 lets you hit all your mileage, time, and/or placement goals while remaining injury-free!
Thanks, Ross! I'm backing off the races for a bit and working on building my base back up. I'd like to be in shape to handle a strong summer/fall workload in preparation for a fast late-fall marathon.
No backing off for me. I'm afraid if I stop I won't be able to get going again!
This weekend is my first half marathon of the year: the Resolution Run Half Marathon in Travelers Rest, South Carolina...

My goal is just to break 1:40 and that might not be too easy. It's a fairly tough course with the last 4 miles or so a gradual upward incline that killed me last year. It was my second slowest half marathon of 2011 at a time of 1:45:46 so I need to knock off about 6 minutes from last year's time. Not too sure I can do that.

With the holiday I was lazy and did not get my runs uploaded. I had two runs that were not counted for. A 5 mile recovery and a 16 mile long. It brought my weekly total to 42. Also I had my longest month ever! 189.3!!
Not that I am fast but--
Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Maybe I should have had breakfast? Brekkie could be good for me. No, no, no, focus. Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning.” — Lightning McQueen
How was everyone dealing w/the cold (and wind)? The first 2 miles of my runs I could not feel my feet?

I just pretend it's not bitterly cold. And I curse liberally.
Great weather today! I made my goal of cracking 1:40 in the Travelers Rest Resolution Run Half Marathon... 1:38:37. Bunch o' hills!
Congrats on another good race!
Way to run Richard. You make it seem easy.
