Start of the New Year

Monday night my wife and I ran in the annual Running Room (RR) Resolution Run. I’ve run this every year except last year (sold out early). In fact, my first race when I started back in 2001 was the Resolution Run. It’s more of an event than a race. This year we had 1700 people signed up for the 5 and 10 k. I always do the five for this event.

It’s become a very nice tradition for me and (now my wife as well). Because it’s more of an event you typically don’t get much of a warm up. It’s more just show up and do it. It’s a good chance to stretch out the legs and see how they’re feeling at the end of the off season. Starting in January things begin to ramp up towards the May marathon.

Today was the first run of the year. Tonight I went and joined the guys at the RR. This was also one of the coldest runs of the year so far. The wind chill was well into the -20s. Strangely I was over dressed.

Tomorrow I’ll run inside at the dome.
