Sunday - January 10

I was going to do my long run today, but I spent the day in the garage working on my old truck instead. By the time I was done, the family wanted my attention, so the run did not happen. My official season does not start until Jan 25th, but I planned on hitting more training than I have been the last few weeks.

Ok, today I return to normal training. I have taken the last couple of weeks 'off' from most training and enjoyed the holidays. With heavy and hectic travel, training as much as normal was not a possibility anyway. Due to the many sweets and holiday food I consumed, coupled with my decrease in exercise, I have put on several pounds in the last few weeks. Some of it is recovery fluid from my first half marathon I ran on Saturday. I am still a little sore.
