12.75 miles easy in the snow with Dave and Jace. It's so much nicer to run with good company than flying solo every morning.
I'm glad to be home from Indiana. I didn't get as much running in over the last three weeks as I would have liked. But I did the best I could given the time constraints. And hey, I only gained 2-3 pounds after three weaks of eating out for every meal. That's a score in my book; I feared the scale would be much higher. I do need to cut 4-5 pounds before USA Half though in Jan if I want any chance at a sub 1:06. So I got some work to do.
In other news, Pearl Izumi all but cut their local sponsored team. So, I've been looking for a new sponsor. After considering a few potential deals, I settled on Brooks I.D. (Inspire Daily) Elite program. So as of Jan 1st I will be running for Brooks. I'm super excited for this opportunity! Brooks is a very solid running brand with awesome shoes and apparel! 2014 is going to be awesome! So as the Brooks slogan says, "Run Happy"!
