In the past I have at times taken friendship for granted. I don't really know why. But not anymore. In fact, I will say that Meghan and I have been lucky enough to have some great couple friends as well which I haven't really had too many of before. I've also been blessed with some great work and training/racing friends. These people really help to keep me happy, motivated, and realistic whether at work, in the pool, or on the track. This morning proved this. I had a 10 mile run scheduled with a friend, who I had bailed on a ride with yesterday. Obviously I couldn't let my buddy down two days in a row, so I got up extra early, slammed the coffee and we took off. 10 muddy miles later, I realized how much more fun I have training with others, especially friends. I guess my rant can be summarized with, I will continue to savior the relationships I have developed, both by myself and with my partner, each and everyday that I'm lucky enough to have them for.
On a training front...kind of getting back into it is how I would describe things. Life has been very hectic as of late and I haven't gotten in all my workouts that I had scheduled, but I am happy with my progress for the most part. February and March will continue to be base oriented, and then I will start to develop more speed and intensity late April into May for my first A race in June. I'm excited to see what this season brings, and am very happy to be able to share it with such great friends. Thanks for reading...enjoy some pictures from our 10 mile mud run this morning,

You can kind of see the mud on the legs above. Close up of the shoes below.
