My off season is now officially over, and I am officially back in training!

My first race of the year was the Godiva New Year's Day Run, an 8K trail race. I was hoping to finish in 40 minutes or less. Felt out of shape during the race, and the climbs definitely kicked my butt, but nonethless I managed to finish in 38:39.

Next race for me will be the Greenville Duathlon on Jan. 17.
