    blah tired 3 3 mi 00:27 09:03 pace

    Didn't feel much like running tonight, but I needed to get something in today. Had a nice weekend, but very busy so I think it finally caught up with me.

      Great run, Kristen. You're really back to a great pace now! I think training to be ready for a race at any time is a good idea.

      I am thinking of doing a half, but I don't think I'll be ready for one in time for this spring. I have to have gall bladder surgery in April, so it kind of puts a crimp in my training. I should recover quickly enough for it, but I think perhaps a fall half marathon is doable, with a shorter race right before my surgery.

      Zapped the zero for the new year ... good to see you getting some solid runs in again and do believe you likely got one of the bad ones (hopefully the worst) out of the way. I know from experience the bad ones help us appreciate the good ones. Hope to see you and Ernesto at some race in 2012.
