I had an awesome run with Thom this morning. 41 degrees out at 4:45. We actually got to see the stars - it's been rainy and overcast for awhile here.

10:09 average pace for 3 miles. I'm thrilled to be finding my running place again after all my quadriceps issues last year.

I've made my monthly running goal the last two months and I'm on track for three in a row. It's not a very lofty goal, but it's more miles than I have run on a regular basis in more than year. I don't start officially training for my HIM until mid March and if I can keep running like I have been I should have a really good base when I start training for real. I go up in age group next year and I'd really like to do well.
