New Year and a race day recap

New Year's Day, Wicked Frosty Four. Nice little race, mostly flat, a few hills of little consequence, one good size one. I didn't feel particularly great for the third mile, thought I was going to puke; the OJ and toast I had for breakfast sorta bubbled up. No good. That said, between that and essentially taking the month of December off, my time of 39:50 was better than expected. I came in hoping to break 40, and with an admittedly bad run, I still did, so I feel pretty good, in retrospect.

Anyway, we are officially in 2010 now, which means that the Marathon looms ever closer. I'm off to the Y tomorrow for some strength training and either a short run or a long session with the elliptical machine, depending on how crowded it is. Might consider a swim if the pool is open. Guess I'm gonna play it more by ear than I thought.

Gotta remember to stretch better. I've done a shitty job of it as of late, and that will not cut it going forward.
