Double.

Yesterday was another day off, the timing just didn't work out, so I'm doubling up today to get the miles in. This morning I stepped out into 20 degree weather and busted out a 10 miler in 69 minutes and it felt great.
I also signed up for a marathon today. My goal for 2012 is to run my fastest marathon ever (so anything under 2:44 will be a success.) With that in mind, I'm refocusing my running efforts into more miles instead of the shorter races I was planning. To be honest, I was already starting to feel a little burnt after just a month of high intensity training. I'm looking forward to getting back into volume. High mileage actually seems to take less out of me than the fast stuff, which will go better with my school schedule. The marathon is not until December, so this is a long term plan. The first half of this year I think will mainly be spent just logging LOTS of miles, then in late June, I'll go into a marathon specific phase. So, onward and upward!!!
Got the second run in from Mom and Dad's, 6 miles up and back into Belmar @ 43 minutes. Cold and pretty windy, especially heading south. 16 miles for the day!!
