Building bridges

^ That being said, I decided to start this up again. I have been recently working a job that has taken up a lot of my time. I haven't been consistently running since before I broke my wrist (August 2011). I have run a few, not-very-serious road races... including the Mayors cup 5k. I ran 18:30 at franklin park for 5k off of virtually no training. Also ran a fun hot-dog 4x1.1mile relay in Manchester, NH with 3 of my other amigos. Also split about a 58 second 400 meter in the Reggie Poyau Memorial Home meet Alumni 4x4 race this past December.

Something has really been missing though, in my life. This time off from running has made me realize how much I enjoy training, being in shape, feeling fit, running with other people, breathing in the cold air, blowing through the carbon rubber of my running shoes... all of the above.

I made a pact with my roommate, Devon, to get back into shape. What does this mean? For me, I want to get back to running over 30 miles per week by March. I think doing this will significantly and positively affect my life, and overall sense of achievement and happiness. It will also give me a good foundation to work with over the next year to begin racing again.

Well, cheers to new training! I look forward to getting to this blog active again!
