Wouldn't it be nice...

...if I had PR'ed at San Antonio
...if I didn't add a ton of weight during my "off season"
...if my heel, knees, and leg didn't hurt
...if it was always as nice in January as it's been this week (in the 70's)
...if I had a running partner
...if I didn't have to work so much do that I could workout more
...if I cross-trained better
...if I could run before work more frequently
...if running downhill on the Barr trail didn't hurt
...if I didn't eat so much

Now the positives...

...if I broke the 5:00 mark during the MCM
...if I broke the 4:30 mark for Pikes Peak (of course I still need to break 5:00)
...if I swam at least once a month
...if I lifted at least once a week
...if I could run with snow falling more ofter
...if I could lose 4 pounds a month from now until the MCM (=36 pounds)
...if I could always run without music and still hear nothing

Season 4 is officially underway. Here's to our successes!

On that note....here it is:
4:55AM I set out for a 42 min. run. My goal was nice and easy. I felt pretty good, my right knee felt ok, nothing more. It was a great start to the day, nice and quiet, not cold at all, and an enjoyable jog.
