Ho, Ho, Ho
All the best for the Holidays to everyone and may Santa bring multiple PRs and a happy and healthy 2011.
Group Run
Want to get ready for New Year's Eve festivities? Our next group run will be at Sailor's Point in Peace Vally Park (Lake Galena) at 10:00AM on 12/31. It's the intersection of Myers and New Galena Roads. Ample parking, port-a-johns and a chance to run across a windy causeway. One loop is ~6 miles. Feel free to start earlier if you are ambitious. Multiple excellent post exercise food choices. I'll be doing a 7 mile bike loop if you prefer to bike rather than run.
The Running Log
While we had running logs bad-mouthed of late, here's a contrary opinion from Jim Higgins, "I use the one my son got me for Christmas years ago. Usually, I write one line (date/distance/time) for a run or a race. I don't obsess over it. It's good data to have in case something is not quite right. For example, my IT band was giving me problems so I had it adjusted in October. One quick perusal of my running log showed that my times were starting to get slower as early as February (not by much at first, then more noticeably as the year went on). Next time, I'll get adjusted much sooner."
