January has been a very busy month for Team Cross.\u00c2\u00a0 We moved <\/a>almost 600 miles to Minneapolis and began setting up our lives here! It was definitely very busy but I was able to squeeze in runs (a first look<\/a>) and postings throughout the month! January was mostly a base training<\/a> month for me as I work towards an April half-marathon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are my final thoughts about 2007<\/a>. I wrote a week long series “Week of Garmin” that explored my newest gadget, the Garmin 205<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While enduring brutally cold weather I wrote about one of my favorite fruits: the Clementine<\/a>! I also saw a local news story about a guy who suffered frostbite while racing<\/a>, but he still won! Well I made some mistakes <\/a>too, luckily no frostbite for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I also had to adjust to the new reality of lots of snow and ice, even on the sidewalks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marathon Guide.com released their statistics about the 2007 Marathon season<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0 I found an older story about a running club for homeless individuals<\/a>, which really peaked my interest. The Spirit of the Marathon<\/a> was released on January 24th, we went and saw it<\/a>. Don’t forget about the Million Dollar Marathon<\/a>! At the other end of the distance perspective I wrote a tribute to sprinter Jesse Owens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have done a lot of “blog research” to try and make my blog enjoyable for you my friends, fellow runners, and readers.\u00c2\u00a0 I shared some of my “vast wisdom” one day in the form of 10 Building Bloks of Blogging<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Workout<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was finally able to make it back outside! I went out for an easy four miles and ended up running 4.51 in 36:40 along the Midtown Greenway.\u00c2\u00a0 It was about 26 outside so it was definitely a heat wave!\u00c2\u00a0 It felt good to be outside, I also did my 4 accelerations. \u00c2\u00a0 The Greenway was pretty much clear of snow and ice, but some of the sidewalks leading to and from it were solid sheets of ice due to last weeks warm spell, followed immediately by the deep freeze!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
