I didn't realize two weeks ago that would be my last run for the year. Snow hit a couple of days later and I just never motivated myself to run on the treadmill. The snow hasn't disappeared, and in fact it snowed even more yesterday. Nevertheless my only explanation is laziness.
Today I got off my duff and ran 4 miles on the treadmill. Our new setup downstairs really helps. I hooked up the TV to our new receiver and cranked up the volume so I can hear over the treadmill. Not a bad start to the year. I could tell I'd been off a few weeks and now it's time to get back to where I was before the unintended hiatus.
2012 in Review: It was better than 2011, but still up and down. I have officially declared shoe experimentation to be done. Any problem I've had with knees or plantar fasciitis has been due to trying new shoes. From now on I'm sticking with the model I know works. I was happy to get back into a race this year and run a sub-two hour half marathon. Looking back through my log I forgot how much I ran on the treadmill this summer, but it was a good thing. I feel like I laid the groundwork this fall for a spring marathon. If I can get past the weird problems of last year I will be okay.
