So, we made it up to Mew Hampshire ahead of the snowstorm, and I have been out twice today to plow the driveway. I am going back and forth on doing a run in the wind, snow, and below 0 wind chill. I did buy Yak Trax of my NH running.
I had a nice run up South Mountain in New Jersey. 7.82 miles in 1:12:43
More soon from the GWN...

Reindeer Run 2010 5k Race Report
I forgot to post this last week and seeing how I have the IPad with Internet in the car here it is.
Sunday, December 19th, 32 degrees, no wind. Shooting for a sub 20 5k.
We lined up at the start at 5 minutes before 8am, it was about 225 people. The race director blew all opportunities before the race started by telling all of us the course was long by 2/10 of a mile. Crap. So, I changed the strategy to run as fast as possible and see what happens. I did know a sub 20minute 3.3 mile race was out of the question.
Mile 1- 6:21. Felt good. Mild downhill with a few little ups.
Mile 2- 13:30 7:09/mi. I slowed a. It because the downhills were so steep, I was feeling it in my knees.
Mile 3 21:00 6:30/mi. A steep uphill followed by a long winding downhill. Worked hard inn this mile.
3.1- 21:25. Is this a new PR? 39 seconds faster than my PB. And to piss me off the last .3 was All uphill.
3.32 miles in 23:09- first in age group and 13th overall. I will break 20 in January.

Thinking tons about mountain biking...
I don't know when but in January I will buy a mountain bike. I will do an off road triathlon, and a 6 hour MTB race. In the short term I will break 20:00 in a 5k tomorrow. Then I will be taking time to reflect on 2010 and move on. I will assemble my 2011 calendar in NH over Christmas. I do know one thing NO long stuff in 2011, but lots of off road, some 1/2 marathons, and some Sprint and Olyimpic distance races.
Merry Christmas!
