January's breakdown of the Numbers.

I had a pretty strong month for my 1st month of the year. I went to my on-line log and ran the numbers, not to bad! I had basically 225.65 total miles covered on foot with over 26,000 ft of vertical for the month of January. I was hope for over 250 but this is still good. I am wondering how I will be feeling in 2 weeks at the Red Hot 50K in Moab? Comparing to the number of miles that I ran last year in January (165) it is a huge improvement. There was also more quality runs this year. Last year I just put in the miles and did not do any tempo, speed, ect... This year running under a coach Paul DeWitt I put in much more quality runs. I am hoping for a much better finishing time than last years 6:24 which is my worse ever for a 50K. Here is the report from last year 2008 Red Hot
