This is what really matters: running. This is where I know where I am.

Thoughts: 2010 was a great year for running. I am thrilled about the goals I have achieved and I learned a lot from being injured. I am so happy and grateful to be running again.
Looking Ahead: 2011 is looking to be a busy year when it comes to racing. I am registered for both the Boston and New York Marathons and off and running in my Boston training. I missed the structure of training for a marathon but also miss being able to run in shorts and a tee-shirt. Training for a spring marathon should be interesting, but I am up for the challenge. I am working towards some exciting goals and am excited to see what 2011 will bring.
I kicked off 2011 with a long run to end my first week of Boston training. My dad and I completed a hilly 10-miler after I stayed up until 3am to bring in the new year. I felt fine when I woke up in the morning; I made sure to be plenty hydrated and not overdo it on the champagne, but I was pretty tired and my legs felt heavy.
Lots of hills! Up and down…
Stats:
10.2 miles
1:31:56 minutes
9:01 pace
Splits:
As you can see from my splits, my legs were tired. Tomorrow will most definitely be a rest day from running, although I plan to hit up a mat Pilates class at the gym.
*How did you choose to kick off 2011?

awesome way to start out a new year! good for you that you've already planned so far out...i have yet to look beyond boston. it's all i can think about these days....
That is a nice way to start off the year. I did 6 this afternoon and kicked off my fundraising for 2011. I'm planning on running all of my races next year to support charity.
So much to look forward to this year! Didn't know you were signed up for NYC too.
I sympathize with the tired legs. First week back to a solid weights routine for me and I am tired! Hope we are both used to it and feeling a bit fresher next week.
I'd love to see what's on your plate for training -or what you've done in the past.(?) I really enjoyed your recap of 2010. I need to get my stats up too.
Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR! And have a great week!
Holy COW girl, that is a lot of miles!!! xoxo Jen from shesafitchick.com
