January 2013

January was a wild month.  The weather was everywhere.  Rain, snow, ice, and even a taste of spring.  The month of January saw my first ultra distance run of the year on a snow covered Bays Mountain.  All in all, 2 training days were missed, and I fell 10 miles short of my mileage goal.  Below is a break-down of my training for the month of January:

Total miles:  324.6 miles
Easy miles:  174.5 miles (53.8%)
Long run miles:  97 miles (29.9%)
Quality miles:  53.1 miles (16.3%)
  Race: 3.1 miles (1st 5k in 7 years!)
  Marathon pace:  13 miles
  Tempo pace:  29 miles
  Intervals:  4 miles
  Repetitions:  4 miles

6 weeks till my first road marathon in 2 years, 11 weeks till my first trail race of the year, and 13 weeks till my first ultra of the year.
