Welcome to 2015! I have big big plans this year, and with training mapped out to mid-April-ish, and vague ideas of where I'm going after that (but not tempting fate, so much could happen to change my direction).

| Brrr |
Things have been going really well, although today was a bit iffy. Once I was done, I realised that my pace had been on point, I had got my mileage, and was coming from a long run yesterday in Russian Gulch and had been to the gym this morning. I've just got into the habit of everything feeling, not easy, but easier.

I also love that Saturday's are now Rocko's Running Day! He hasn't run with me for a long time, but it seems the turmeric paste he's on is really helping him. Since Saturday is rest day, therefore just two easy miles, he gets to come with me. This makes both of us very happy :)

Wednesday's run was measured with my phone, which gave up on me not quite half way out. I got to the trail head 20 minutes away and had no plans to go back for the forgotten watch. Conveniently there are mile markers along the way, and I checked at mile 3 to see how closely my phone and the markers were, and it was only off about a tenth, so was easy to finish my run and get accurate mileage, but no elevation. It's a level route though, so not missing anything too significant - maybe 350'. Same deal with Friday, although that was in town so no reason to not stop by my house and get my watch when I realised my phone was going to die before I was done. I was able to retrace my route on MapMyRun to find out how long the route was. 6.8 was a pretty close guesstimate I think.
I think my favourite improvement is that I don't feel drained all the time. I'm getting stronger and adapting to 50 mile weeks plus my workouts, and running every day (currently on day 43). I don't feel the need to crawl into bed by nine every night, or take naps in the afternoon while on call. Though I'm scooting off to bed for my 5.15 wake up call. Time to make it a little harder, and add a core class to help my hips survive the extra distances. Good night :)
