Celebrating a new year - Tue Jan. 2

My first run of 2007 and a new age category for me (must remember this for Saturday's Snowstorm, at which finally I will have Mark's company!). Came home after work and indulged in a solo 10K or so, very conscious of the total mileage as my plan for the year is 25 miles per week (for at least 50 weeks -- total 1250 miles, which doesn't sound so much here in early Jan.). I went out in fantastic moonlight and enjoyed it all the way: wearing full gear even though it wasn't too cold, I went down to Jackson, then up into town, round the common and down Jabish; crossed 9 and up old Enfield, then Allen and 202, and finally home past the VFW. Here's the stats:

Time: 45:03
Speed: 8.4 mph
Distance: 6.28 miles

Comments: this is variant of the reverse Enfield, cut down to keep it within 45 mins (my estimate - not bad, enfin). A fair amount of uphill, albeit gentle. A useful toning run, I think, though I'd like time (now that grading's done) to get a few long runs in. . .
