Today was a day of firsts! First day back at school from winter break; first blog entry; and most importantly, first run of the new year! I went 6 miles today, struggling through an agonizing 5 miles to enjoy the last one. I averaged 7:57 pace, which I thought was respectable having come off a 2 week break. I got the flu during my first week of Christmas break, and then decided to ski instead of run for my second week. Hopefully I get back at it quickly and can start putting some miles in. |
