Last Monday before Christmas
Last Monday before Christmas
Is it just me or is it always hard to work when you know a long weekend is coming?

Don't work too hard people. Save it up for the weekend!!

An 11-day weekend for me! But yeah, these next four days are going to be tough.
Long run of 12K done yesterday (had to walk in the final 750m - my back was sore). Tonight is Hot Yoga.

Spinning done. The gym was surprisingly busy, but the mall coffee shops were not. There was no line up at Starbucks, Tim Hortons or Second Cup as I walked past on my way from the gym to work. Interesting.

Re: Last Monday before Christmas
Snowy 10K this morning on slippery roads. I think I'll be stopping at Home Hardware on the way home to buy some screws for my shoes.
1 more day (after today) until my 12 day vacation starts.

Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

The house looks intact.....for now.....
Rest day for me. Eeek, Xmas is too close.....knitting like a fiend to finish gifts, and I STILL don't have anything for DH.

I ran about 40 minutes this morning on the beach here in Punta Cana! I had my shoes on for about the first 20, and then took them off. It actually felt way better barefoot- oddly much more stable on the sand. Now for some serious tanning time. I love the fact that my iPhone picks up wifi by the pool!!!

I run because it's my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise...it's a consistent reward for victory!

Re: Last Monday before Christmas
Easy 15K. Still haven't needed to run inside and I seem to have adapted quite well to moderate winter temps (today: -16 WC -24).

Re: Last Monday before Christmas
3 miles on the TM + light weights scheduled for tonight.
Today I made a decision: I'm dropping Goofy and just running the half at Disney. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks, and where I've been (training-related and emotionally/physically), this is going to be the best thing, I think. I've done a few long (3+ hour) runs, but nowhere near where I need to be ready for Goofy. So I'll spend Sunday cheering for Tori, Andy, Rob, and anyone else running both! I suppose I need to upgrade to a park hopper then, eh?

Yikes, Moofy ... such a tough decision to make, but a smart decision on your part, considering that you are not 100% healthy to attacking this "Beast" ... Looking forward to seeing you and your family, in a couple of weeks ..

Mary I am jealous you get to sleep in on Sunday morning now! It sounds like a smart decision though. It will still be lots of fun. And if you decide you want to walk on Sunday my SIL and her mom are walking and make great company.
