    1304.51/1000 miles for Run the Year Team Pavement

    I ran 4 miles this morning.  It was really cold, but I was dressed well for it. My hip felt pretty good. I kept it slow and it turned out to be a good run. I'm ready for it to warm up a bit though. My hip feels a little cranky this afternoon.  I'm noticing that it seems annoyed when I have been sitting for a long time, but feels better when I  am moving around.  But so far it isn't hurting while I am running or right afterwards.  So I am going to keep playing it by ear. If it hurts while running I will definitely stop. And I am planning to keep my mileage low and just run slow and easy for a while. 

    Great race report and photos @ContraryMaryMary.

    Hugs and prayers @quilteryoyo. I am sorry your dad is not doing well, but so glad you were able to spend some good time with him.

    If the runs I have left this year go as planned, I will finish the year with a running total of 1602km. Google tells me that is 995.4 miles. THAT is annoying. Wonder whether my legs would let me squeeze another 5 miles in...

    Yes but 1000 miles is 1609 km.. that will probably drive you crazy too.

    Total – 72.88

    Yesterday’s 12 Day of Christmas challenge was to run a progressive 5 mile run (@mbaker566 apparently got a 5K but I got 5 miles). I had a hair appointment in “town” so I ran in one of my favorite residential areas. There is an elementary school and lots of sidewalks available and a couple of the houses remind me of the Brady Bunch show. My mile splits were 13:04, 12:22, 12:06, 11:14 and 10:23. I had to keep an eye on my watch too much for my liking in order to make the times faster each mile.

    Today’s challenge was to run 1200 feet of elevation gain or to run a personal best record for one mile. With all the streak running I’ve been doing lately and given the terrain in my neighborhood, I knew I didn’t have it in me to get a 1 mile PR. So, I set out to do hill repeats. I didn’t know how to see my elevation on my Garmin watch until I finished and saved the run. Sadly, I only got in 573 feet of elevation gain. At this time though I was back home and it was raining outside so I just couldn’t make myself go out for another hour plus of repeats. Fail for me today but on the plus side I ran that hill 4 times more than I normally would run it. It was cold (32F) and really windy but for a nice change I was running into the wind on the downhills and it was at my back on the uphills.

    @Faebert – Sorry for your challenges at work. Way to go for hanging in there and hitting that treadmill hard every morning. So cool that the kids finished their marathon and got medals. Glad you had some happy tears when you received your medal!

    Hope you get some rest and feel better soon @Avidkeo

    Who knew kale got that bit @polskagirl01! What a sight!

    Hope you can get away for a much needed weekend @eleanorhawkins.

    Glad Skippy was with you @skippygirlsmom and the episode was resolved with some food.
