I’d like to blame my lack of posting on the fact that I’ve been running so much but the truth is, it’s been off-and-on since my last post.  I’ve settled into a 10-15 mile a week routine that has me making most of those miles up on Saturday and Sunday.  I’ve had some stiffness in the achilles that has me slightly concerned but mostly I fear I’m making excuses.  I’ve been getting 4-5 hours a sleep a night…and my achilles hurts.  It’s cold outside…and my achilles hurts.  I keep a close eye on the “injury” but I really should bump up to 20 miles…

The new goal for December will be to hit 20 miles in a week.  By late January, I’d like to settle into a consistent 20 miles a week, figuring that’ll be 3-5 miles with a few days off.  It won’t be amazing but hopefully enough to get me through these cold months and create a base for the Spring… we’ll see how it goes!
