January 2010 Monthly Roundup

This was a good month:

I hit over 100 miles, which I hadn’t done since May. I ran 19/31 days, and of course scored a big 3 min half marathon PR in Phoenix.

I liked how I’ve started mixing it up a bit, running some shorter harder days on the treadmill. I think it helps from a time as well a training standpoint. In February I’d like to continue to do this, but extend the distance.

I’ve really liked having the weekend groups to run with, it helps keep me motivated. However, I’m not a huge fan of the trails when they’re snowy.

Another metric to keep track of: my Mom gave me a scale for Christmas so I’ve been weighing myself nearly daily. I started the month at 118.3 and fluctuated up to 122.1 until settling at 117.7, where I am now.
