I've taken off almost all of December with my fire related ankle injury and have just tried to enjoy the holiday season. On Christmas day, I went out for a 6.5 mile run in Harrisburg, PA. It was a rude awakening for my lungs and legs( 6:30 pace), but it was nice to get out. I also went out the day after for a 5 mile easy run with Steve.
On New Year's day, to kick off the new running season, I went out with Ash and G and we did a relaxed 2 miles through the ice and snow. My goal race for the spring is the Brooklyn Half marathon in Late May. i am forgoing a spring marathon and instead focusing on my half marathon time. Last year's Staten Island Half (1:14:38, a PR and 3rd place out of 5,000 people) was inspiring and has lead me to push myself more at this distance. Plus, i can run more than 2 halfs a year without beating myself up.
So, it's a new year, a new season, and i hope for some new successes!
