Boston Prep -- late, but here we go

It's been a while since I posted, for a couple of reasons. A busy week last week, the final one of the semester, and on Friday I got hit by a cold. This week has been busy too, but I've got two runs to report (phew!).

So, first weekend without running for ages--and Sunday was supposed to have been the first day of my Boston prep. Not the best start for that, but I can hope it gets better. My mileage is down so low I'll be starting from a clean slate, about 20+ miles, and aiming for a peak of 75. I haven't worked out the details yet, but it'll be a slightly modified version of the first marathon prep plan I used. The two main challenges will be sub-20 F weather (bound to be some of it) and then fitting in training during the 9~10 weeks of semester before the race. I'm teaching four classes (despite initial plans of only doing two), so I'll have to be very determined. But I'm optimistic at this point.

And I need new shoes, I realise. Xmas, good timing.

Yosh!
