Yes a new season of training is upon me! Yeah! I love group running more than anything an I'm so glad to beginning my training offically for another half marathon this spring. I love having a plan each day and knowing how many miles I need to run each week. When left to my own devices I tend not to run as much as I should!
I will be missing the run tomorrow though because it is my nephew Peyton's first ever Christmas program so I'm going there instead. It's okay though I'll catch up with everyone next week. Although as my running friends pointed out to me missing the first day of MIT is a little like missing the first day of school.
I can't believe that Christmas is two weeks away now! I'm almost done with all my shopping and all I have to do to my cards is put the stamps on them (after I buy said stamps) and put them in the mail.
I'm going to my parents house for the week of Christmas so that will be fun, and I'll get to do some trail running at the awesome trail near their house. A good break for me from the assphalt I run on here at home.

Drop back week...
Drop back, cut back, fall back, there are many terms and phrases for it out there in the running world, but it all amounts to the same thing- less miles!
Today's run was an "easy" 12 miles and the weather was perfectly lovely unlike our rain last week, cool and clear. We had a great talk before we got started from Tim about our mental state when we run, which was great to hear and needed as we continue to prepare for the marathon. Tim owns the running store that helps to sponser MIT and he's so great always so kind and encouraging.
Then we were off, I got to run not one but two friends today- Hannah joined Christi and I for 6 miles of our twelve and Christi and I finished off the last 6 on our own. The run wasn't fast today, but then that's what drop back week is all about- a little rest before we hit the last looong (22 miles) run next week. I wasn't feeling my best (tummy issues) but I made it through the run.
Now this week we will tackle our longest week day run to date of 8 miles. It'll be fine, just a bit of a challenge to get in after work, but we'll do it we always do! :)
Other than my running I had a great week, got to meet my sister for dinner on Wed and the ever adorable Peyton- who is oh so cute these days! He's quite the little chatter box. It was fun to hang out with them.
Well off to get some rest now!
