    @ddmom0811‌ - only the pup on the right is mine and he was sound asleep as soon as we got in the car! Remind me of small children in that way :) He was ready to go again though later in the evening but that is just the type of dog he is - he can run and run and run. He's a great training partner :laugh:

    @SLHysell - a 26 min 5K is awesome! Congratulations!!

    Looks like we are all closing in on our goals! Great job everyone!!

    I ran my half marathon this weekend and am thrilled with the results! 1:48:42. Not a PR but faster than I have done one in the last 6 years. Plus it was a trail run! I felt comfortable the whole time. Well except the last crazy hill at mile 12.5. That just sucked! :p Ultimately I probably could have pushed it more however I am happy with it. A great course too.

    1/1/2015: 3.94 miles outside
    1/2/2015: 3.46 miles treadmill
    1/3/2015: 1.95 miles outside, because I was too lazy to drive to the gym (?!)
    1/4/2015: 4.34 miles treadmill, driving to the gym was terrifying (ask me about my POS car.)
    1/5/2015: Rest (replaced car and dealt with insurance)
    1/6/2015: Rest (still dealing with insurance - switching to new agency)
    1/7/2015: 3.52 miles treadmill (and running around with old insurance agency, some more!)
    1/9/2015: 4.21 miles treadmill
    1/12/2015: 3.5 miles treadmill
    1/14/2015: 6.99 miles treadmill (I did 2 Zombies, Run! missions, one with hills and one flat, and added the mileage when I got home, or that would be an even 7.)
    1/16/2015: 3 treadmill and 3 treadmill - competing against my brother. I failed in the morning and went back to try again in the afternoon. Beat his time by 27 seconds.
    1/19/2015: 1 mile on the treadmill in my brother's gym about 10 seconds slower than his. My lungs finally feel a bit better. That was the dustiest nasty treadmill I hope to ever use. There are ruts worn into the platform that made my run feel like I was running in an icy wheel rut. But the rock salt and dust was worse than the bumpy ride. Ugh.
    1/20/2015: 3 miles treadmill
    1/26/2015: 6.04 miles treadmill 27 miles left, in 5 days. That seems a tiny bit ambitious, for me.

    Wow! That's a great time and it's amazing that you felt great the whole way, except for the hill. Who puts a hill at mile 12! :)

    @RunnerElizabeth -Be careful & stay warm looks like this storm is really going to hit the your area hard.
    @_nikkiwolf_ @shanaber & @Lesleycali -Thanks for sharing such great pictures. It's neat to see where everyone else runs.
    @SLHysell -26:03 is a great 5K PR! Don't sell yourself short; I know many people who aren't that fast!
    @briebee7 -Fantastic time for your half! Running the trails is harder than the road and ddmom0811 is right "Who puts a hill at mile 12" that's sadistic!
