On the Eve of Christmas....
On the Eve of Christmas....
I'm waiting for the sun to come up so I can take a guess on if the sidewalks are a sheet of ice or not. I think I'll attempt an outdoor run, regardless. It just might be slower than normal.
Merry Christmas Eve!

5.3k done. I'm glad to say that the sidewalks were pretty good. But, now it is snow/hailing, and they are getting slippy again.

Thinking I need to buy a treadmill! Ottawa is cold already and we still have three(?) months of winter to go.
Will do my run tomorrow. Tonight = rum and eggnog.

Re: On the Eve of Christmas....
I have dinner at my Mom's tonight, then tomorrow is actually quiet, no dinner, just presents and hot chocolate. I found a CRAZY fattening "Polar Express" Hot Chocolate that I am going to make, maybe a movie in the afternoon.

Re: On the Eve of Christmas....
Seafood chowder ready to go, house as clean as it can get w/ 3 kids, a dog & a cat; shopping & wrapping done too - I think I deserve a run!!! Wish could go outside but it's a slushy/icy mess .
Big neighbourhood party @ my house tonight - a favourite tradition. Because we have no family here, we started doing this years ago. It's grown to be quite a crazy night!!! But a quiet, peaceful day tomorrow awaits...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone. Blessings to you and your families.

We train more joyfully and productively when we focus on the now, rather than on our future race day performance. It's a long road from here to there with many miles to go. We need to run each one. Accept where you are today and simply be thankful for the work you've accomplished. KA

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: On the Eve of Christmas....
We lost electricity during the night, but it's back on now. The world is all a-glitter here, with the sun shining on the ice. I'm off to slip-slide over to the neighbours to deliver cookies! Hope to get some outdoor running (with spikes on my feet) while I'm at the in-laws for the next couple days. Have a happy Christmas, all you Manics!

Re: On the Eve of Christmas....
8Kms done on the trails. I could have almost worn shorts today out west. Chest and Triceps workout completed now off to the mall.
If you have to ask me why I Run, You probably wouldn't understand!
Re: On the Eve of Christmas....
I thought I'd posted earlier but I guess not.
13.5km this morning with my normal training buddy and a girl he used to coach, who is now a college track runner. 8 x 600m hard. It was a tough one, but it was great to get it done nice and early.

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