Fun in the Sun and now Back to Reality

One giant step forward for family fun, one small step back for marathon training.

Just returned from a 10-day family vacation to Florida. Was hoping to take advantage of the warmer weather to get in some good training but only got one relatively short run and a brief spin on an elliptical machine during the 10 days. Hopefully walking around Disney with a 5 year old on my shoulders was building up endurance for Heartbreak Hill.

I returned on Saturday to temps in the 20's and a stiff wind but went out for a 5-6 mile run to get myself acclimated to the New England winter. It is the first time I had to wear more than one layer on the legs. Actually felt great during the run but realize that I need to quickly ramp up my miles.
