The New Year

New Year's Day marked my final scheduled "off" day except for Saturdays until the week before the marathon on April 21. Most weekdays involves runs from three to six miles at varying paces. There are a handful of seven and eight milers in the few weeks prior to the race. Sundays are for the "long runs." The weather has gotten much colder the past couple of days - it has been in the high 20s the past two mornings, but with almost no wind, so they certainly could be a lot worse, much like the weather many of my fellow Melanoma Foundation team members have been dealing with in the Boston area.
