The Body and Mind Were Willing...

... but the weather was not. Very icy and treacherous out there today so I nixed today's run. I nearly had Jackass-like fall down my front steps this morning when I went to check things out. Unfortunately, it never improved much.

So, with the boredom of today I calculated my running totals for the year. Looking back, it's nothing impressive. Despite that, I put out what I consider some respectable race times in 2006, but looking at just my mileage totals, I'm wondering how. Granted, I was doing faster runs with the smaller amounts of mileage, but I'm starting to see the benefits of putting in higher mileage totals, which I began mid-November. It only makes sense, given the marathon and ultramarathon schedule I want to do this year. And with that, I'm hoping 2007 blows last year out of the water.
