Lenox Winter Vacation

Arrived Saturday in Lenox for some snow and cold. Big storm walloping the east coast with New England expected to get hit hard Saturday night. Woke up Sundy morning... not a flake. Just cold and blustery. Doah!
Was hoping to replace some miles of running with snowshoeing.

Wizard of Voz


Talia, now 6 years old and a voracious reader, just watched the "Wizard of Oz" again for the 1st time in a year or so. She always thought it was the Wizard of 'VOZ' rather than "OZ". Easy to mistake the difference if you've only heard the name but never read it yourself. How cool.

Holy Shit- I ran 18 miles yesterday

Ran to Saguaro at the Broadway trailhead, then to the main loop. Instead of turning around at the Visitor's center, I kept going around the loop. Achilles was killing me the whole way, but the rest of the body was fine. Feeling fatigued 1 day later, but great. No pain. I really shouldn't vary from my training plan so much, but it was a beautiful day and I couldn't stop running.

Hoping I don't hurt myself. 15 more weeks to the LA Marathon.

130.71 Miles in November

According to my Nike+ log, I did 19 runs for a total of 130.71mi at an average pace of 8:02/mi. I think it's overestimating by about 4-5%, but still, that's way more than I've ever run in a month before.

I'm generally fatigued and always fighting off the next potential injury- but my LA Marathon Training is still on track.
