I ran a mile today. A real mile, at a real run. I probably last did that at age 25. It probably doesn’t mean much to anyone but me, but I think I should view it as quite an achievement.
One of my New Years’s goals is to actually run a 10K race in 2005. When I was in graduate school I could do one in just under 50 minutes. If I can get to the point where I can hold a 12 minute mile pace in 2005, I’ll consider it miraculous, but very cool.
Congrats on starting up running again! I used to run in high school and college and started up again last year. While I got off of it again since my wedding, I did spend some time and write a system for tracking miles and thoughts and put it up at http://www.etraininglog.com
I thought you might be interested in that if you want to track your miles and thoughts on running in a blog-like format. Many of the users on that site go through periods of activity – winter being one of the downtimes. I am hoping I can get back into it again after far too long off now – your post here is yet another reminder.
