Getting my butt in gear...

Ok, so I was kind of bad following the Santa Shuffle and didn't get out running for a few (well, quite a few) days. But I've been getting back into it, which is a good thing, since Miami is less than a month away!

Mel and I ran 18K in Florida on Boxing Day. It was hard, especially since it was so hot, but we managed it (with a fair amount of walking). At least now, having run that distance, I have no concerns whatsoever about being able to finish the Half. We did the 18K in 2 hours and 45 minutes, so even if the last 3.1 km took us 9 minutes a km, we'll be done in less than 3 1/2 hours. And we still have 3 weeks of training to go. Plus, we were going really slow and it was a hilly route which slowed us down.

I'm still aiming for my 2:30 finish in Miami and it looks like it might be doable based on the times I've been getting.

I went out for a 7K run yesterday and it was quite nice. Around -1 degrees and light snow. I'm supposed to do 6 today and 8 tomorrow but doing both is looking pretty unrealistic. Plus, it's -18 with the windchill so that's not encouraging me to get out there. It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow so I might just save my run for then.

Oh! We finally have bib numbers for Miami. I'm the proud owner of #20479!

Happy new year to anyone reading this!

Resolution Run

I did the Resolution Run this morning... I know, December 28th is a stupid day to do the Resolution Run but I didn't have enough pull to change it to a different date...

I finished in 31:26! Yay!! I'm going to break that 30 minute mark yet!

Santa Shuffle Results

I did the 5K Santa Shuffle on Saturday the 6th. I finished in just under 34 minutes so I was pretty content.

Unfortunately, I haven't been running since. I need to get my butt in gear again!
