January may not have been the snowiest month but it sure was cold here. This was the month I got back into running and started hitting the streets at 5am again. It felt great to build up my mileage and do some quality runs before most of the world awoke.
Average Temp: 24.6F/-4C although it was hardly this warm at 5am for my runs.
Miles run: 72.6 miles with no current plan, just building a base.
Rest days taken: 11 from running, 5 from all activity
Highest mileage week: 18 miles
Average pace: 8:27 min/mile. Trying to slow down and it seems to be working!
Current Obsessions: Skiing!! I am addicted! I want to go again!
Current Excitement: Half marathon training starting NEXT week! Just waiting for my plan to come from my running coach! Hope he sends it to me soon!
Current Read: The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry and wedding magazines.
Current Guilty Pleasure: Sour Patch Kids.
How was January for you? I am looking forward to a great February!
