New kind of season

This is me at the 2010 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships at Randolph College's new home course at a Presbyterian home in Lynchburg, VA. 30:19. Pretty happy considering I was injured for almost 3 weeks in the beginning of the season, it was my second 8k, and it was the hilliest course I ever ran in my life. 36 sec PR as well from my first 8k at a much flatter course up in Maryland

I am currently in my (about) two week break before I begin training for indoor track. Our first meet is in mid January, so that that gives me about two months of training after my break.

I have never ran indoor track, it sounds fun. I hear a lot of people set good PRs, but I also hear that the air quality sucks. I believe I will just try and focus on the good things, like NO WIND. Thats gonna be great. There will also be something else that is new to me, like the 5k on the track. I'm pretty pumped. I really don't care that it is a bunch of circles, that doesn't phase me. What does phase me is that its flat and has great traction. No reason not to PR. No heat, hills, sharp turns, other forms of weather to blame, just myself.

My goal for winter training is 2 weeks of 60 miles before I come back to school at the end of my break at home. I need to talk to coach and discuss. But if I hit 35 my first week or about 260 mins (7.5/mile-underestimate of speed), I could easily hit my first 60 week late December. I might actually do 35,40,45,50,55,50(Christmas),60,60, and then comeback and hopefully stay at 60 for a few weeks. That sounds good to me. Like I said, I am gonna talk to Pincus (coach) and see what he has in mind. So Pumped.
