Thanks for the thoughts. I don't think there was much I could do to avoid it, the whole family got taken down with it for the whole week. I didn't run much at the first sign of sniffles and skipped most of the running last week in hopes of faster recovery but to no avail. Such is life I guess; I'm looking forward to when the kids get to the age where they're less germy
Good advice on keeping faster running in the mix, there are some early season 8K and 5K races that I was looking at as a tune up for the year, I might try to fit one of those into January. I will plan on getting back on the cycles earlier, probably aim to fit 3 into the schedule before the February race. I also liked doing the longer tempo run in prep for 21k.
The big goal for 2013 is a full marathon. It will be 11 weeks after the half in February, May 5. In reading through the forums it looks like you have a 6 week program for someone who has trained on the 10K programs? Will definitely look to you for advice on getting ready for that run
I will start a new thread as soon as I am ready to refocus. Thanks again for all your help this year, it really has changed my perspective on running and made it a lot more enjoyable and rewarding than it's ever been.
Cheers,
KK
