First Race of "06"

Well, a milestone of sorts yesterday, I ran my first race for "06". This is highly unusual for me, I typically stop running in December, lay low in the winter and then spend a few weeks getting back to a point where I can run. This year is going to be different. I am going to train in the winter so that I am ready when spring gets around.

Yesterday I ran a 5K in 33:30 - my average pace was around 10:45 which is OK considering I have not been really running. The weather was pretty good for this time of year, it was 34 and sleeting with a pretty good wind. I ran with Matthew who ran the same race last year - he said it was about 10 and snow last year so this year was a breeze.

Overall, training is going well. I am going to run one more week at what I have been doing and then I am going to start to step up the mileage..

Eating has been OK, not great. I have not been as firm as I need to be to get the weight down. I am however going to keep at it every day.

Off to NJ in the morning for a couple of days on biz....
