Back after one of the longest hiatuses in my running life. Took 3 weeks and 2 days off. My foot had been bothering me so I decided to rest it. Started my spring season today. Got out for an easy 2 miles in a balmy 15 degrees with wind chills hovering near 0. Splits:

1- 7:31.9

2- 7:19.4

TOTAL--14:51, 7:25.5 avg

Aside from being my longest break in a while, i am also about as out of shape as ive ever been. Its amazing how much u lose in 3 weeks. Gonna get back at it tho, this first two weeks is gonna be tough. Goals for this season, sub 1:20 half finally--goal race April 9; also i am going to run my first full marathon on may 15. first goal is to finish, second is to BQ (3:10), third layer goal is sub 3.
