1/1/2017 to 1/14/2017: New Year, Same Process

2016 Summary
Miles: 5060.95
Days Run: 360
Average Weekly Milage: 97.05
Races: 29
Races Won: 1
PRs Set: 1m, 3k, 5k, 5m, 10k, 10m, half marathon, marathon

I think most of that info is accurate.  I'm not including Fresh Pond races or winning a heat of a mini meet (if that even happened).  It would be nice to win more, but the good news is that I'm finishing top 3 pretty frequently.  My goals heading into 2016 were partially time based and I also wanted to set PRs in every distance and consistently be a top finisher for CSU.  I was a few seconds off here and there on the time goals, but I can't complain when I'm able to PR across the board.

For 2016, the Pub Series final standings was not just a highlight for the year, but no doubt one of the top highlights of my short running career.  Coming in 2nd overall felt very satisfying.  I'm sure no Pickleman and no David Wilson made that easier for me, but I still had to stay healthy and perform on a consistent basis.

For 2017, the goals is simple.  Improve.

First two weeks:
1-Jan Long Run 2:04:07 16.26 AM: 16+ averaging 7:39.  I hosted the first CSU long run, which went really well.  I was happy to feel pretty good for this run considering I only had about 6 hours worth of sleep.
Shakeout 0:31:11 4.04 PM: 4+ at 7:43/mile.  Just an easy shakeout.  I didn't nap today, so I don't know why I was so antsy to get out the door for another run.  I threw in 6 strides, and my right hamstring is meh.
2-Jan MLR 1:26:02 10.18 AM: 10+ with a good chunk with Eli and Raleigh.  Averaged 8:27/mile.  Right toe is really achy, but this was a fun run.  Raleigh was excellent too.  Toe and hamstring hurt though.
Shakeout 0:43:33 5.17 PM: 5+ at 8:25…is that right?  Whatever, toe and hamstring still hurt, so I took it easy.
3-Jan Easy 1:04:35 8.05 AM: 8+ at 8min per. 
Easy 1:08:09 8.22 PM: 8+ at 8:17/mile.  Totally drenched and running through shin deep puddles along the Charles.  I think my clothes and backpack were probably an extra 10lbs.  Whatever.
4-Jan Easy 1:01:44 8.06 AM: 8 at 7:40/mile.  Just a commute.
Tempo 0:57:24 8.29 PM: 8+ at around 6:55/mile.  Cold and rainy, so I did somewhat of a steady ~tempo.  Felt good at the end and contemplated an extra couple, but it's workout Wednesday for Elizabeth and I.
5-Jan Moderate 1:00:33 8.03 AM: 8m at around 7:30/mile.  Felt pretty achy, happy with the pace considering.
Easy 1:08:56 8.33 PM: 8m with the frist 5 at probably 7:30-40/mile.  Finished up with Raleigh and Eli.  That's always good!
6-Jan Easy 1:03:00 8.03 AM: Watch wasn’t working and it was snowing.  Ran the same exact route as yesterday so I knew the mileage.  8+ at probably 7:50ish/mile.
BU Track 1:49:58 12.1 800(600/400/200/200/400/600)x2 5k/mile pacing.
7-Jan Easy 0:49:19 6.23 AM: Too sore from last night's workout, as I figured.  Had a great breakfast then went out for an easy 10k as the storm was just beginning.
Off 0:00:00 0 PM: Off.
8-Jan Long Run (Mimi Sun) 2:07:54 16.02 AM: 16 averaging 8flat w/TomD.  I'll take it considering the brutal cold and terrible footing.  I finished the last two quick in about 6:40 and 6:20.  Felt good about that.
Off 0:00:00 0 PM: Off.  Considered a shakeout, but it was cold and I was super tired.
9-Jan Easy 1:04:33 8.01 AM: 8m commute on bad footing.
Medium Long Run 1:34:16 12.01 PM: 12m at 7:50/mile.  Pretty good MLR considering the footing still sucks.
10-Jan Easy 1:04:39 8.02 AM: 8m at a little slower than 8min per.  Cold temp/bad footing, and just pretty wiped.
Intervals Mile-Paced 1:07:04 8.25 PM: Ran to Harvard.  400x6/200x4.  Wanted to do 10-12 repeats but I was redlining and my left hamstring hurt.  Crappy workout.  Whatever.
11-Jan Easy 1:02:43 8 AM: 8m at 7:50/mile.  Left glut/hamstring meh.
Easy 1:06:08 8.09 PM: 8m home and ran the last couple with Eli and Raleigh.
12-Jan Moderate 1:00:31 8.01 AM: 8m at a decent clip.  Averaged 7:33/mile but had probably 6 or whatever around 7flat.
Easy 1:03:53 8.05 PM: 8m home and once again ran the last couple with Eli and Raleigh.
13-Jan Moderate 1:00:53 8 AM: 8m at 7:37/mile.  My legs are feeling tired.  Hamstring is still meh.
BU Track 1:31:41 11.88 PM: Commute home then 1000/(800//200)x3/(600/200)x2, 5k, 3k, and mile pacing.  Went well.
14-Jan Easy 0:47:49 6.21 AM: 10k easy.
Off 0:00:00 0 PM: Off
