This year has gotten off to a rocky start. First, we hit zero degree Fahrenheit temperatures in Charleston. Then, Freedom Industries decided to leak a bunch of chemicals into our water supply. It is little wonder that I have run only one day this year. But since they say my water is now clean, I should be hitting the showers with increased frequency over the coming weeks. This year starts with the challenge of training for a half marathon in Pittsburgh. That race is not until the first week of May, but training starts immediately. The big question is: How will my legs hold up under increased distances? Only time can tell. But I'm easing into longer distances with a training spreadsheet.
Time to quite moping and hit the pavement.
Here is a recap of my 2013 stats. May was my best month. It was sorry by historical standards though.
