Holy mother of God you've got to go faster than that to get to the top
Again, snow. In the midst of January, reaching out for the middle of May. I do wonder on some runs whether I will ever go 26.2 again. I do not feel any pull in that direction - Tuesday I was running and thought of New York and all I could remember was how difficult it was, not how thrilling. Of course, it was cold and I was weighted down with winter-weather gear.
Training for the Half suggests going beyond the half - to peak at fifteen miles. And when I remembered that I thought, why not run to Mom and Dad's again? This time, packing proper fuel. I would like to make that particular journey again.

I'm training for a half that isn't until July. I haven't run much this week-- too fucking cold, too much running kids around. I miss it. But yesterday I noticed that my right knee is bothering me. I can't remember doing anything more strenuous than walking in the past few days, so what is up with that?
Sadly, that might kill my run again today. :(
You are old. Knees hurt.
