Slacker. Shut off the alarm this morning, planned to run at lunch but didn't. Maybe today is a rest day. Again. Maybe I'll run at home on the TM tonight. Or not. It's all good.

Just looked at my running stats as it's been a while, and I haven't hit 100 miles in a month since September. No wonder I feel like my fitness isn't where it used to be! I had no clue that it has been 4+ months since I really ran. I'm kind of biding my time until the 50K training plan starts up, but I probably need to do more than that. It would be good to be in the 30 mpw category before hitting 50 mpw regularly. I'll get there. Just kind of tired of winter running, and I've hardly done much. Last year I did a lot of it and it seems like I was always getting sick after running more than an hour outdoors. Not sure how everybody else does it. Better clothes? Vitamins? General toughness? Probably the latter.

Read last year's 50k race report - that'll get you moving...

Thanks Bam for the virtual butt kick! That was some great motivation to think about last year's race and where I need to be. You're the Zen master.
