First Saturday of the new year

I ran 10 miles at Bally this morning ... the farthest I have run since Dec. 1 ... and it felt really good. As incentive, I rewarded myself with a soak in the jacuzzi afterwards, reading the John Grisham book I'm now working on (The Firm). I was especially pleased to run 10-minute miles, finishing in 1:40:03, and to be able to keep going, after having terminated several runs early in recent weeks.
