Year ending LSD - Sun. Dec 31

Still a bit sore from yesterday, but went out in the afternoon solo to put some miles on. Headed down the rail trail as far as North Washington and then ducked under the railway bridge and took the Jabish Canal path off to the right. Haven't run that before: it goes downhill some (would be a good tough run going the other way), and eventually comes out, five miles from home, on 21. Followed this back up north as far as Springfield, on to which I turned right and then home through the schools and the State School. Stopped the clock at about 9 miles, though I'd had thought of aiming for 11-13 when I started; too tired in the end. Still not unsatisfying:

Time: 1:07:01
Speed: 8.1 mph
Distance: 9.01 miles

Comments: a long and busy year, with new PBs in all three distances. Definitely time to hope I can find a running schedule that lets me put more miles in, and then think about a 16~20+ mile race in 2007. . .

Happy New Year to all runners in training (even if like me the training is just training for life)! May 2007 be full of good times!!
