Today I ran the resolution run and its about a year ago that was my goal race as end of Learn to Run Clinic. Since than I have almost run 900KM and for 100hrs. It is the longest I have been running consistently. It was fun year and I started with learn to run and went on to do a 5K than a 10K and than Half Marathon. 





I did almost 8 races this year and each one made me better runner and and we found a group which has stuck together for a year now.Here is a overview of all my medals and bibs.

This has helped me a lot over the year and apart from being  a faster runner I have got lighter and lighter still I have lot too loose and be a better runner. Overall it was great year and now I have lot of numbers to beat for next year. I am not sure how far I am going to be able run and keep this going.

So holiday time is here and this week probably was the last week we had full schedule of running at least as group. This was week 6 of training for next half marathon. We bumped the weekly number a about 5K thanks to the Thursday run. The Sunday run was still same as last week it was 10K
With holidays next week the clinic runs will not go as scheduled but I will have to run to keep myself active anyways. Next Sunday is also the Resolution run , it means something because I started running last Oct and that was my goal race about a year ago. I have come quite far from what I was than and I will blog what 2014 looked like from running perspective next week. This is how this week looked as far running goes. 

Time is moving fast and we are into week 6 of training already. This week we head to hill training and its going to be fun in wintry weather. The Sunday runs are about get a kick from next week. This week we shifted by 1K to get on even side of numbers and we did 10K. It was a fun run the weather warmed up a bit. we had to cancel our Thursday run due to the snow dump which left a ton of snow in side walks. It did not look like it would get cleared by the evening and no one wants to get injured or get the New Balance shoes filled with slush. SO it was good we cancelled it. 

This week we did regular 18K and it was fun week as usual only on running side. 
The next race is scheduled for Dec 28th I think its the Resolution run which I did at the end of my learn to run clinic last year and I have improved a lot since than. I think I did that in 45min and now I am hoping to get it under 30min. Hope I hit  my PB for 5K this year which is under 30.

here is how today's run went.

This week was a race week, a while ago I had signed up for #Tannenbaum 10K around the beaches in Toronto. The weather was lot chilly and it was felling like -12C..Definitly not the time you want to go close to a beach out here in Toronto. As the blood started to pump through extremities it felt colder instead of what I expected it was strange normally few min you fell warm. 
The race was good I hit a new PB shaved off 4min from my previous 10K and now the under 60min goal seems like achievable in my next 10K race.

This was my first race in my New Balance 890v4 which fun and I was not planning for that but I am going to continue using that shoe till I am forced to switch to more cushion'y 880v4. 

Half Marathon training is going well we did 20K this week and its going to ramp up going next week. Surely its getting colder and colder now. 
Lets see how it goes.
