Next Friday marks the official first day of spring, unfortunately this weekend has been a mix of rain, wind, and more cold. Even when the temps creep up into the 50’s, allowing the snow to start melting, a day or two later it’s back down to freezing. The result – my running and exercising has been indoors on the treadmill, although I continue to push my pace. Surprisingly, I’m settling in at around a 10 minute mile, which is about a minute faster than before I tackled the Goofy Challenge in January.
I also took a step to give up Wine & Dine this year. My wife and I celebrate our 10 year anniversary (WHAT?!?!?!) and so we’re going to try to get a weekend away instead of Disney. In its place, I’m joining some running friends for the Richmond Marathon, rated one of America’s friendliest and must-do marathons. My second major goal is to run Dopey in 2016 (5K, 10K, Half, Full), but we’ll see how that all shakes out.
