It's Groundhog Day and winter is all ready about half over. For some reason I think we have a long way to go. We finally got some snow around here in January. We went from not having any heading into this month to getting over 80." This combined with some bitter cold snaps where temps reached in the teens and 20's below zero has made running very interesting. I managed to run outside on 28 of 31 days during the month. The streak is still alive, 31 days, and counting. The new diet has shown fabulous results where I hit 169.2 on Saturday the 29th. My weight shifted back up a bit since then but.. I know I'll continue to lose with my life style changes. What a great month it was and February is looking better as well.
I signed up for Leadville finally, so I'm in. The Hardrock 100 Lottery is this coming weekend. My schedule for the year will be pretty much solidified after this weekend. On top of that, the Snowshoe 100 is about a month away now. I'm pretty nervous about it as it's going to be my final Peak Race after proudly racing in Pittsfield, VT for the last 4 years. There's only 4 of us registered in the event, we start on a Friday at 4pm and have two days to complete the distance. I have no idea what I was thinking.
But for now, lets just look back at January...
