2011 and All That



According the internet the new trends of 2011 include modern suits, flaired jeans, and something called loungerie. Now I imagine I enjoy lounging as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure I'm ready for this (OSFFCWP).*

Unlike fasion designers, however, I don't think of this time of year as a new beginning as much as I think of it as time make the subtle shift from longer-distance, running-only training to less focused fun work outs with some emphasis on the 5Ks I like to race in the spring. Think of this as trading your Uggs for sweaty, slightly sunburned cat heels.

I plan on getting in two or three 5Ks between now and the end of April and I will be very disappointed if I don't clock a sub-22 in at least one certified-distance race. At the same time, I'm going to try to maintain a three-day-a-week strength plan built around the three lifts I'm tracking on the left side of the screen.

Official training plans will arrive soon along with the requisite complaints about the beginning of spring semester.
