Goodness!

Well, a new job, a nice promotion about 3 weeks into it, and now settling in. I did get some running in throughout this transition, but not what I would have liked. I can still run a nice pace for 10miles, but decided to reform the schedule and see what I can do in 6miles. I am now doing around 6milers every day and running them how I feel. If I feel fast, I run fast. If I feel lazy, I run lazy. It reminds me of the beginnings of summer base miles, preparing for the upcoming cross country seasons. By the end of those times I could hold around 5:15-5:30 pace for 6miles. Throw in an occasional long run with some builds (but overall a slow pace), and I think that I can get back into it by winter. Do some snow shoe races, and then get on the track a couple times next year. I think it would be fun, but who knows. I will put the work in and see what comes out as a byproduct.

Other news:
The house is almost done!!! We put the floor down in the basement and the house is painted. I have to put some base down in the basement, and then finish the bar and bathroom down there. Upstairs is just about finished. It looks great!!! My wife and dog are awesome and I love them both very much. Other than that, just keeping things simple. I like it that way.

Back again soon!
