(Somewhat) Solidly back in the saddle again

No more excuses (like a pesky stomach bug) -- I'm back at our 500 mile challenge.  Though I'm somewhat behind, I feel good about the 13 miles I've put in in the last 4 weeks.  After a temporary setback, I'm thinking the best way to make progress going forward is to make a solid schedule for the week.  Here goes...

My goal for the week:

• Sunday (yesterday!): lift weights and run at least a mile (donezo!!)
• Monday: run at least two miles
• Tuesday: lift weights and run at least a mile before and a half mile after
• Wednesday: play basketball!
• Thursday: run two miles
• Friday: lift weights and run at least a mile before and half mile after
• Saturday: more basketball!

Bam. First run in the books!

Alright, I did it. I sucked it up and went outside and ran in the snow. If I wait for the weather to be nice enough to run outside in either of the cities I live in, I'd be waiting until May-ish.

Didn't go too far today, but at least I've got myself on the board for the year! A quick (but not so-quick) 2 miler to start 2012.

Requirements:
-Two pairs of socks
-A hat that covers my ears
-Awesome running gear I got for Christmas (Under Armor tights, Burton gloves)

Need for next time:
-A scarf/something to cover my face
