    I had the worst and the best day today! Work was terrible and ugly and I am so glad to be on vacation for a few days! I didn't run yesterday but managed to get in a short 30 minute run today between meetings. After work I went to the gym for a much needed strength training session and when I got home had work to finish up. While I was working the DH went out to pickup dinner and what???... returned not with dinner but with our daughter who flew in for my birthday and is going to No California with us! They REALLY got me. I was so not expecting it and was just overwhelmed and I still can't believe she is here.
    Have a run planned for the morning before we head out and at least one run over the weekend in No CA!

    Date.......Miles.......Total
    12/01.... 6.40....... 6.40

    @fabnine - Thank you! I don't run nearly as many miles as you but I am happy to be on track to meet my 2015 goal!! You are a ROCKSTAR - both for mileage and that you are still running outside. I'm in Maine and the cold, dark and ice have me on the treadmill! I may be able to get outside on the weekends but during the week, dreadmill it is. I really applaud your perseverance!!

    12/1, 4.5 miles, treadmill
    12/2, 4.5 miles, treadmill
    12/3, 4.5 miles, treadmill
    12/4, Zumba
    12/5, 4.5 miles. treadmill

    18.0 total; 70 goal

    Fabnine, I have no doubt you will be able to make your goals. We do live in the same part of the world, but my inability to run high mileage over the winter has little to do with weather, sort of. It's just too darn dark all the time to rely on roundtrip stroller commuting, it's not safe. So my 27-36 Monday -Friday stroller miles have turned into 15 solo miles. Woe is me! I never run anymore! And while my daughter has speech class twice a week it's even less than 15. Still trying to get decent long runs (well, long for winter anyway) in of 10 or 12 miles.

    12/1. 3.12 miles (regular lunch run)
    12/2. 2.25 miles (fast, speech class day)
    12/3. 2.20 miles (speech class day)
    12/4. 2.08 miles (boss in office)
    Total: 9.65 miles

    Speech clinc is closed until Jan 13 so hopefully next week will be better.

    @shanaber - Happy Birthday and enjoy NorCal this weekend!

    @fabrine & skippygirlsmom - I don't run with the stroller much anymore now that they are older. I mostly just fit in runs around when my husband can watch them - ie early morning mostly. They are too heavy now (100lbs+ when both in the double Bob) and get bored after 3-4 miles.

    I admire all of you that run in the snow and ice. We are spoiled here in CA and only have to deal with the occasional rain.

    Rest day for me. Will run either 6mi or 9 mi tomorrow am.
