Quick update today, I feel like I’m finding more consistency in my running lately and I’m building a good base of mileage and training. This week has been good – 3 days of running so far. For right now and the next 4 or 5 weeks, I’m focusing on easy runs – just building a good platform. I’m looking at what runs I want to do in the spring and summer next year and trying to plan my training right now around that. We’ll see how it works out.
We had family pictures taken last night and the boys did a great job. I think we got some really good pictures, I’m excited to see the results.
Hope this finds you all well.

The last few weeks have been very busy. We’ve been to a wedding, drove out to Fort Wayne, IN to visit my brother and his family for Thanksgiving (had a GREAT time), work for both Jen and I has been insane, and we got our Christmas tree setup. In addition, I was able to get the garage cleaned out last weekend so I can actually park in it, and I have now shoveled about a ton of snow. Needless to say, we’ve been busy.
I have been able to get in some good runs in the last few weeks too, which is exciting. However, I have still been struggling with consistency and commitment. I haven’t yet figured out a true ‘program’, I’ve just been running as far I can in the time I have available. Lately it’s been mainly between 3 to 5 miles. Not bad. Actually, I’ve been feeling really great when I run – no aches, no pain. I think if I put together a structured plan I’ll stick to it even better – I need to put something together. I’ve been reading this book:
There seem to be some good plans and simple logic in the concepts presented. I just need to sit down and write it out and find a good goal race. Anyhow, I’ll keep you posted.
