    I've run only twice - 2 miles each time - since my half marathon in Key West on 1/15. There's a mix of reasons, but mostly I've been dealing with a nasty cold and just haven't much felt like working out. Feeling better now, and looking forward to getting back into a training routine. I'll run 3-4 miles tomorrow.

    My next race is a 10 miler on April 9th at the Univ. of Minnesota, the "Run With Goldy." I wish Dennis was around so we could play with our Big10 rivalry, but I'll go ahead and declare that Goldy is far and away the greatest mascot in the B1G, and I look forward to running with that rodent.

    My first marathon of 2017 is 8 weeks from tomorrow (Trailbreaker in Waukesha, WI on 4/1). I get two interval workouts in on the treadmill during the week and then have been running both days on the weekends. I need to start getting those weekend runs longer but not this weekend as I have a 10K snowshoe race on Sunday. Tomorrow I have to be at work early for an event so will likely only be able to squeeze in a 75 minute run outside. I will supplement with hiking both days up in Wisconsin on the Ice Age Trail.

    Today I restarted C25K. I also decided to do at least one run each week barefoot. Based on how it felt, my cardio is in pretty good shape. Tomorrow will tell me a lot about how my feet feel about the no-shoes option.
