Well this week started with me registering for another half marathon, an inaugural race in Bluffton, SC known as the Palmetto Bluff Half Marathon on March 10.
Here is the workout routine for this week:

Tuesday (29th) – 4 Mile Run
Today I ran 4 miles at an 8:34mm pace. It was a good run in downtown Charleston at lunchtime. This is faster than I normally run, but I felt good, and it was nice 70 degree weather out. Garmin Data
Wednesday (30th) – No Workout
Thursday (31st) – No Workout
Friday (1st) – 2 Mile Walk at lunch
Saturday (2nd) – 10 Mile Run
On Saturday I ran 10 Miles with Tasha Ruth and Joanna Gell. We started at Trident Hospital and ran around Charleston Southern University and then went on the newly built & well lit bike trail North Charleston has built over to Goose Creek. It is a really nice run, and I recommend those that cannot run to walk it, it is really nice. Now the bad part, it was 27 degrees! This is the coldest I have ever ran in. I wore my compression pants and my running pants, with the top being a short sleeve wicking short, a long sleeve shirt (Wine & Dine Half shirt) and my thicker running coat, along with gloves and toboggan. It was not too bad with all this, as we maintained a 9:38mm pace. The only thing that stayed a little cold were my toes, so I will have to adjust for that next time.
January Total Mileage: 73 Miles (39.3 Race Miles)
