Started training for the April, race for the Roses half, and of course once I started getting my times for four miles to somewhere in the 8:30 per mile range, I caught a miserable cold.
While I enjoy running at this time of year in Oregon, the darkness makes me insane. I have all the gear I need for running in the dark (reflectors, headlamp, blinking red light), but to go to work in the dark and come home in the dark... My motivation shrinks, and then to catch a cold does not help one bit.
So, once I am ready to run again (Saturday, I believe) it could be like starting over. I hope not. I also need to be less of a baby about running at night. We shall see!
Actually, what I really need to do is start running from work. If I had half a brain, I'd do it.
