First, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!! I hope everyone has had a very nice holiday and got some downtime with family and friends. I know I did! Maybe a little too much food, too many drinks, and late nights.
Now, it's back to training! We have races starting in January (visit the schedule of races down at the bottom of this blog). Yesterday, the day after Christmas, we decided it'd be great to get back into it but as we walked out the door to for a tempo run, it started raining! Instead, we decided to go to the gym and do a leg work out. Needless to say my legs and butt are sore! But it feels great. Today I'll be doing the tempo run (2 miles easy @ 10:53 a mile; 3 miles short tempo (9:18 a mile; 1 mile easy @ 10:53).
I'm excited to get back into training especially now with my orthotics. After the last half I ran, I wasn't sore at all, and I attribute that to the orthotics 100%. My problem from that race was the blister I got from my orthotics, so I'm hoping I've become accustom to them by now.
