Two 5K's later

So apparently, it's been a while since I've posted anything.  Since my last post, I have run the Bergenfield 5K back in November and the AMBS 5K Reindeer Run yesterday on Dec 6th.  After a poor showing in November, I decided I needed to start training a little more seriously.  Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of the cold weather, but so far I've still motivated myself to get out on a fairly regular basis.  I just started buying cold weather gear, and asked for more for Christmas.  The good news is that I've been out on long runs every Sunday (except today) and have been finished 6-7 miles without a problem.  I think I'm going to try 8 this weekend and 10 the following.  

So the end result was a better time than I posted in November, and I was able attack the hills better than ever before.  But, I didn't beat my "goal" time by a minute or so.  I think I need to do more speed work and keep increasing my long runs.  

My next 5K will be January 1st in FairLawn, so we'll see how that goes.
