So today I finally did my first run since the ill-fated Marathon.  I felt really good.  Not sure if it was the cold weather, the new shoes, or just eating lots of greasy foods throughout the week.  Whatever the key factor, I’m just happy to be running again.  I shouldn’t have much difficulty with the upcoming Turkey Trot.

My goal for the winter will be to try and run 3-4 times a week with an emphasis on long, slow distance.  The cold and snow won’t stop me.  And I think we will have a lot of the former if not the latter.  Come the spring, I should be in good shape to start attacking the race scene.
