Preview of 2008 preview...

What? What does that title mean? It means I've been super busy (new niece, back to school, getting sick) and haven't had time to blog...and I'm making plans for 2008, so this is a preview of my preview....what? Maybe it's the cough medicine I'm on speaking....I'll get to the point.

My running has been going fairly well. Remember after the Stumpjump 50K I was just beat up so I ran very little and biked a lot in November. Then in December I decided to run a lot of slow miles, continue to bike, plus do some strengthening. Well, I added up my mileage for December the other day and I ended up with 119 miles! I know to some that might not be a lot, but it's actually my 3rd highest monthly total ever. I had no idea I ran that much! Probably because they were all so dern slow. So it's January and I'm still plugging along. Laura and I have been running quite a few 10-15 mile runs over the past couple of weeks. Yesterday we ran almost 15 on the WRT and TDW at Shelby Farms - that is the longest run since the Stumpjump in October. And I'm feeling better running wise, so hopefully this will all add up to a nice spring racing season, which I'll get to hopefully tomorrow.

So tune in in the next couple of days for a preview of my 2008 racing season/goals!

By the way, my niece is still as precious as ever!! We took another nap together on Saturday. Babies are great to nap with!
