Geez. Been a while, hasn’t it? When I was out running tonight I suddenly decided that I should start tracking this sort of thing again, so we’ll see how that turns out.

It’s still unseasonably warm in the DC area (highs in the mid-60s today) and I took full advantage of the nice weather. Four 1.25-mile loops later and I was done. One of my calves was a little sore, the first time in over a year where it’s felt like that. Clearly it’s time I started additional calf/achilles tendon stretching again. Using Lush’s Freeze body wash afterwards, though? Heavenly. *sigh*

More importantly, I’m happy with my current speed; I’ve improved so much throughout 2004 it surprises me. I’m not as fast as someone of my friends but give me another year and who knows? Life is good, running-wise.
