Dear James, Daniel and Emily
This Saturday is my last race of the year (at least I am not planning on running any more and have not signed up.) And the timing is good as apparently we are getting our first serious cold snap Friday night, possibly even some snow (although hopefully not too much where my race is scheduled.)
From there my race schedule goes empty until April and St. Patrick's Day. Which is kind of nice, because I can focus on 'just running'. Not that I dislike the races, they are a fun diversion, and a decent measuring stick (although I wish that stick would stop saying I was getting slower.) But the constant training for the races does get to be a drag after a while.
But, after Saturday that won't really be an issue for a while. I can just run. Run for fun, run for health, run because I want to instead of out of obligation. Does that mean I might run a little slower? Yeah probably. But I also might be more inclined to just run longer on weekends than I do now, simply because I want to keep running, and there are no concerns about over training or taper etc.
I'm looking forward to it, and settling into a regular winter routine.
