Runner’s diary, Tuesday

We are almost through the holidays, so I a more consistent running schedule is in sight. that said, I did get on the treadmill today, running three miles in 25:54 (8:50/8:30/8:34; average pace of 8:38). I tried to push a little at the top end — to get some time in at 8 mph — but I just didn’t have it in me.

I will try to get on the treadmill tomorrow, but tomorrow is still a day away. In any case, I failed miserably to meet my goal of 900 miles for the year (no idea how many I did run and I really don’t care). The question now is whether I should set a goal for 2009 or leave it unstated and hope for the best. I am leaning toward the following: 800 miles for the year and getting my weight back down into the low 180s.
