Dallen

I've been taking things a lot easier the past few weeks, and especially last week when I was out of town and enjoying a cold. Now I am feeling better and ready to start back up again.

I am still out of town, so today was 10 easy miles in Michigan.

Goals for the coming year will be here soon.

Im still out of town, so I don't have my officiallog with me, but this run probably puts me at about 3400 miles for the year. When I get home I will have to make up a year end summary.

For now I can say that 2007 did not go as well as I hoped. No legitamite PR's. Very bad performances on the big races.

2008 will be better.

AM: 4 miles in 8 inches of new snow in Michigan

PM: 8 miles on treadmill at 6:55 average. Back home, finally.

I'll make the 2007 summary quick. Finished the year with 3318 miles, down from 3392 the year before. I had 2 goal races for the year, the Race to Robie Creek and the Chicago Marathon. Both went horribly bad.  I had a couple decent races, but no real PR's. (I did PR at 10 miles, but that record was soft and has been bettered in half marathon splits.). Lots of subpar races.

8 miles on the treadmill with 1 mile at a 5:50 tempo pace just for fun. I am trying to be in a base period so I am not doing much variety for now.

Easy miles very slow outside in the snow.

AM: 8 miles outside

PM: 4 miles inside

This gives me 70 miles for the week wich I have only hit a total of 2 times since september. Next week should be the first 80 since August.
