What a slacker! Three weeks into the year and I haven't written a thing. Good thing I have people like my dad to call me out on it! The reality however, is that I haven't had much to write about so far this year. Nothing truly exciting has happened - bad or good - and things are pretty much clicking as far as running is concerned.
I've been able to put together some fairly solid weeks for the last month. Been consistenly knocking off between 40 and 50 mile weeks, with 5 or 6 days of running each week. It's easily been my best stretch in the last 4 months or so. Sweet! I still have some lingering pain in my lower legs which I've attributed to shoe problems, but I think I've finally got the right shoes and things seem to get slightly better each week. I'm sure if I took a few weeks off things would heal completely, but I'm not about to do that. Smart? Probably not, but I'm just over 9 weeks out from my next race and can't really afford the time off. If things were getting worse I'd stop, but things are slowly progressing in a positive direction... So I'm not stopping!
In my attempt to be a bit more social (being a recluse by nature), last night I went over to Wasatch Running Center for the weekly Thursday night run they put on. Quite honestly, I was expecting a much larger group to show up. Turns out there were only about 7 of us, but it was a fun experience nonetheless. I actually came home with a few goodies courtesy of Brooks and Saucony. Awesome! I'm always up for some free gear.
Things are great at the moment! Now if the snow would just melt...
