Morning treadmill at the Y. Started with a slow mile, then 7:40s. My legs feel good although my left achilles is a little tight after I finish. It might just be the number of days recently on the treadmill, I've had some little twinges like this before when I don't vary it up. 31:40.

On the Y treadmill again. It's warm enough to run outside, but so dark. My legs and lower back were a tight during the day yesterday, which I was blaming on the treadmill, but everything's alright this morning and the miles felt good. 8/min average, just took it easy so I can keep building up some mileage. I'm going to pass on the Nookachamps 10k this weekend, I'm just not ready and it would eat up my weekend to go all the way up to Mount Vernon. But I should be able to get outside for a weekend run, at least. 40:00

Got out in the dark today to meet Mike and Dale (not the FRB's Dale) at Annapolis. Big crew of Slugs on the course today, everybody is emerging from hibernation and ready to start the new year. 

Good January weather, in the 40s. We ran a faster pace than planned, Dale is one of those single-gear types who doesn't know easy miles (or his easy miles are just a lot faster than mine). So we were at 7/min pace pretty much the entire run out to about 3.5 and back, the last mile was 6:58. It felt fine, my right hip still is mildly sore at times, it's an odd thing that comes and goes since last October. 49:09 total. If I would have run in the Nookachamps race today as originally planned, I really probably wouldn't have run that much faster.

So a good run, and we got to talking about the coming year and plans at breakfast, which was inspiring. I've updated my blog at the left with my preliminary goals and race plans for the year, hopefully I can stick to them to some degree.
