rebound

8 miles. 8:00 pace. longest run in 8 weeks.

8 miles in 62 minutes. 7:45 average. 

8. slow going in the snow. 7.39 miles to go to hit the 2250 mark.

8 miles to finish off the year. and the decade. 

 courtesy of the killers:

"...and the decades disappear like sinking ships but we persevere, God gives us hope..."

8 miles. i stepped on a santa pez dispenser on the road and cracked his face. i guess that is my official way of ending the holiday season and bringing in the new year. 

one more 8-miler to finish off the week. i thought a consistent string of easy 8 mile runs would be a good way to bring back the mileage in a gentle fashion without aggravating my leg or sending the rest of my body into shock. i have only been averaging 20-30 mpw since the beginning of november, so going up to 48 was a big step. but my leg still works and i am not dead, so i guess the 8-mile-a-day monotony worked. two more weeks of easy base to get back up to 60 mpw, then it's time to start throwing in some workouts and long runs.
