Rest

Dr.'s orders one weeks rest which started Monday the 21st. The rest will most likely be good for the tendons, muscles and psyche.

Hit the Big Frog Trail at 8:00 AM this morning. Temp. was a moist 32 degrees at sun up with a good breeze on Big Frog. Legs were feeling pretty good so I pushed the pace on the up hill, maybe a little too hard as my energy level at the top was low. It was a winter wonderland on the upper parts with a little snow left where it had drifted but the trees, branches and all had about a quarter inch of shimmering ice. Took it easy on the down hill.

Running Journal

It is time to start keeping a bit of an online journal of my running. I am looking at 2011 as being a good year on the trails. My speed is improving with increased mileage and more importantly some consistency in training. I would definitely consider myself a low mileage runner as my only training weeks where I have logged over 100 miles, or even close to 100, would be the weeks where I have completed a 100 mile race. So, my goal for 2011 is to gradually increase the mileage while maintaining a consistent training schedule. I look for 2011 to be the year where I move from a low mileage trainer to a high mileage trainer and I hope to keep track of it here.
