Happy New Year!
I know we've already got races on the calendar this month.
I've got to register for my spring half (it was my first spring half when I ran it last year), but I'm considering a second spring half a couple of weeks earlier on Good Friday.
What's going on, runners?

I ended December with ~50 miles, and finished 2016 with 660 miles. I have been fighting a head cold for the last couple of weeks so haven't done any running. I am finally feeling better and hope to get in a run tomorrow morning.
I've got a race on saturday. Of course I'm overtrained, have been dealing with insomnia for a week, and have a cold. I'm still planning to run for a slight PR at one of those big numbers (break 2 hours). We'll see how it goes. Gotta stay positive.

I'm starting week 1/20 of marathon training D: D: D: It's actually gonna be a slight step back in overall mileage for the first week or two, so it should be fine. Huge workout on the 1st, took Monday off, ran 5 easy yesterday and 10 mile progression today.
How did your race go?
So, after some misery thursday I went to the doctor to get checked out and left with a bronchitis diagnosis. So, no race at all. Such is life.
Hope you kick that bronchitis soon! At least it's not the busiest time of year for running.
We had nearly two weeks of extreme cold (-40s windchill) and now it seems to have moved on. It's a relief to get outside again although trhe footing is mostly hard and icy which is challenging in itself.
Louisiana Marathon Weekend, HM completed in PR time for pushing a race chair in 1:57:04. This was by far one of the best Ainsley's Angels races ever for me. There were over 50 special needs riders that competed over the weekend in all 4 races. Great times!!
Nice work, HL! So when you push someone at these races, do you both get medals? It's very cool. (And man, you are fast. I am fighting for sub-220.)
Meg, The runners pay normal race fees, and the riders get free registrations. The riders have a bib just like everyone else. When we cross the finish line, the riders get a medal just like all the runners. Here are two good pics that I like from this weekend.
The dog rode the whole race on Sat for the 1/4 Marathon(6.55 miles)
Thanks for sharing some pictures! That is very cool! I don't know that we have anything like that here.
Apparently my first spring half last year didn't scare me off. I signed up last night for the Gopher Attack half (apr14) and I will register yet for the RPS Half (apr 30/ was my first spring half last year).
January did not go as planned for me. Work got in the way, I missed most of two weeks, which derailed my spring plans. It's possible there is a silver lining here, as I may have been coming back too quickly from my December race. I've pushed back my target race into likely August, which gives me plenty of time to get ready while doing other races in there.
