Running 2015

The easiest way to fill in the gaps is to go by topic.
Work - nothing new.  Quite possibly that is a lie but for the most part.
Home - new carpets downstairs.  New white couch and chair.  Now leather loveseat.  It was the post Bacchus deal he and I had.  I would replace the items that just got worn out in his old age and illness.
It is also a good deterent from bringing home any new cute pug puppies.
Car - the same.  Getting some miles on it.  That's for sure.
Bike - upstairs on the trainer.  Need to get it outside one of these days.
Running...  well that's been a good part of this year so far.

Over the holidays I focused pretty much on prepping for a race in January.  It was a 4 mile race is conjunction with the Super Bowl.  It started uptown near the stadium and went from there. 
So the training focused mostly on some long runs... but with a race that is only 4 miles long the long runs weren't that lengthy.  We did speed work.  I had not done that before.  Shoot I don't know the last time I was on a track.  It was pretty neat.  This concepts of running fast.  I liked it.  And then some easy and temp runs during the week.  It was a good game plan.  And my pace and endurance did pick up for that first race.  My first mile was under 12 minutes - always amazing.  And the overall pace was good as well.

As one race was coming to a close a new running group was forming.  This was for the Cooper River Run.  Due to the uncertainty of work schedules I knew this race was not going to be on my list.  I couldn't commit in time.  But I joined the group anyways.
