I ran into a few technical problems with my laptop and it was in the repair shop for about a week but I have it back home now and it appears to be as good as new – Fantastic!
Although I haven't been 'on-line', I have been keeping up with my running, training and racing. Last Sunday (January 22) due to snow and ice on the ground, the Bucks County Road Runners 4.6 Mile Honest Abe Race became an 'informal run' but I ran it nonetheless and proceeded very cautiously because of the conditions. Actually, it was the first time I ever ran on trails in the snow and ice, so now I have yet something else I can check off my 'bucket list'. And, I managed to do it injury free J
I've been keeping up with my interval training on Thursdays each week and I am convinced that the training is paying off by increasing my speed. Plus, I've noticed that my Achilles tendons are not bothering me as much if at all. Could it be that I am also strengthening my calf muscles with my interval training? Yes, I think I am.
I was out of town for work again this past week and was talking to one of the flight attendants who planned to run the ING Miami Half Marathon tomorrow. It was really great talking to someone else who also enjoys running. This will be her first half-marathon and she was determined to do it before she turned 50. She was so excited and was running it with friends really just to have fun. I love to hear stories like that. Good luck tomorrow to everyone who is racing!
The next race in the Bucks County Road Runners Winter Series is tomorrow – the 9.3 Mile Terrible Tyler. I am supposed to run the race but I managed to catch a nasty cold this week and have been vegetating on the couch most of today. I just managed to finish a light dinner, Chicken With Rice Soup with some buttered toast. It tasted so good and I am feeling much better at the moment but I'll have to see how I feel in the morning. Hopefully, after a good night's rest, I'll be up and ready to go tomorrow.
Happy and Safe Running Folks!
John
