Winter running

In recent weeks, I have switched to inside running at Bally, on their track. The cold wouldn't bother me, but with the footing less than optimal, and my balance destroyed by my accident, I dare not try to run outside. It's going well, though - I'm set to close the books on 2008 with about 1180 miles ... slightly short of the 1200 I thought I might make, but still a substantial improvement over 2007. The hamstring injury I suffered last December held me to 932.2 miles, missing the goal I had set of 1000 miles. But this year I've done much better, even with the late start after my hamstring healed. (I couldn't do my first run of 2008 until March 17.) So that gives me hope that I can make 1400 miles in 2009 ... or perhaps even 1500.
