Run Report 2024

 2024 running was with more peace. Weekly pattern with numerous skipped runs but no guilt after that.

I got 449 miles of Running and 85 miles of Walking this year.

 

I am getting a hang of the weather pattern. Pattern is important for preparedness.

January: Rainy mornings and gloomy days. And those days were in 60s & 70s temps. Remaining mornings were in 35F-45F range.

February was again perfect 45F mornings and hardly any rain. 

March started well before a weeklong interruption due to rain. And even as I got back, mid-March was hit with the biggest Pollen blast I can imagine. All these years I was wondering about what people are talking about Pollen season and this spring I go to actually see it. It is bigtime. Few rains brought it down. But AQI stay high till mid-April. It was equally or worse in Texas during Spring break.

May had great temps and running went as we much as I could.

I did the only race of the year in September - Vibha DreamMile10K. 

There was a brief cold spell in October and then it was back to summer.

Second half of November showcased beautiful fall colors everywhere, with a hint of cold in the last week.

December had a few cold spells and rainy or windy mornings. So I practically ditched running for gym classes. There I said it, I am that kind of runner now.

The only race I did this year was Vibha DreamMile 10K. I have seriously sworn off Half-Mara in Georgia thanks to its terrain. Just not for me anymore.

Managed to pack in some walking thanks to friends and being part of a trail group.

All of my yearly Run Reports are here.

Wish you all a very Happy & Prosperous New Year !
