Back On Track

This is a good "run" week with solid morning runs. It feels good again as it did just prior to the marathon. My pace is 9/mi or better without much effort. I've adjusted my diet because it was becoming apparent some old bad habits had creeped in. Such as devouring massive amounts of peanuts, having more bad snacks(donuts, cookies), and generally being lax. I started measuring food content for vitamins and other key nutrients to make sure the daily intake is balanced and matching my caloric output.

Today I did the following route (Bristol/St Paul 6 miles) easily. I think this will become my most common morning run because of its length and the fact it has two medium hills at 2 and 4 miles. Good practice run.

This winter I will enter a variety of races to stay fresh but now I'm starting to review the spring/summer races. I want to do more half marathons and 10ks. There are plenty to choose from. The Brickyarders are going strong and will be a helpful part of my training going forward. Fun as well.

Last I am including this screen shot of my official time at the Hartford Marathon. Nice summary of key stats.
