    @katharmonic I wouldn't be able to walk after all of that. You are a beast. Have a great Christmas!

    Another 5 mile run this morning.  It was 57°F but so windy it was ridiculous.  But it was a good run overall. Tomorrow at 5:00 am it is supposed to be freezing.  I don't really want to run when it us that cold, but if I don't run before work I may not get the chance. So I probably will.

    Day 11 of the Yeti 12 Days of Challenge – Run a 5k. I kept waiting for a break in the rain but it never came. I finally went out around 1:00 pm in a light rain. Temp was 47F and the wind was blowing. It wasn’t bad when it was at my back but when I turned it would blow the rain right in my face. By the time I finished there wasn’t a dry stitch of clothing on me. But, I didn’t melt! My legs are still a little sore from Tuesday’s run to the Fire Tower and it probably didn’t help that I rode my exercise bike 21 miles before heading out. No one ever said I was a smart runner. Our rain is supposed to change over to snow this evening so I may have to resort to the treadmill tomorrow.

    @katharmonic – The Yeti Challenge was not what a lot of people, myself included, thought it would be. When I registered, the description indicated we would not have to run over 13 miles in a day. I was psyching myself up to run several miles each day but the longest assignment we had was 7 miles. It was a fun challenge and kept me going though and it was nice to have someone tell me what to do for a few days! (I would have given you a boost to get to the first rung of steps on the tower and probably would have joined you!)

    @shorkster – Congratulations on your running accomplishments this month and for your sobriety milestone! Remember that amazing feeling when times are hard.

    @quilteryoyo – Bailey’s sounds good to me too and you deserve to do all the bi***ing you want! Let ‘er rip!

    Congrats on your accomplishments 2020 @Tramboman!

    Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!

    @kgirlhart Glad you had a nice run, despite the wind. So, you have to work on Christmas Day? That's too bad. I hope it isn't too cold for you in the morning.

    Thanks @hamsterwheel6 . I'm glad your foot is doing better.

    @Teresa502 We live close enough that our weather is similar. The temps here dropped 20 degrees in about an hour and it changed from rain to snow around 5. It's already accumulating and my driveway is slick. I doubt I will be going anywhere for Christmas - hoping it won't be so bad that I can't at least walk down to see mom for a bit. It's very pretty and I would normally really love a White Christmas, but not so much this year. I think I needed to be with family and I doubt that is going to happen. I don't have Bailey's. Gin may have to do. LOL

    Congratulations @rheddmobile ! That's a great time and congrats to your husband on his PR!

    Merry Christmas everyone. No run for me today - champagne, ham and trifle instead. I need a nap.

    Hope the weather up there was as good as here!

    I had a nap this avo. Not due to food, just so tired. Felt great!

    Merry Christmas! It’s certainly a white one here in southwest Virginia as we woke up to about 6 inches of snow on the ground. Current temp is 13F with an 8F feels like. I walked half a mile on the treadmill and ran 2 miles followed by 8 miles on the exercise bike.

    Way to go on your sub-1 hour 10k @rheddmobile!
    @quilteryoyo – If you walk to your moms bundle up good – layers, layers, layers!
    Oh @eleanorhawkins negative tests is the best present ever! I think you can totally do HM distance tomorrow. You are a seasoned runner and just think of the last week as one long taper.

    @eleanorhawkins Best Christmas present ever! Yeah for negative results. Hope your MIL starts feeling better soon.

    @Teresa502 It is cold here, but we only got about 3 inches of snow. It's on the trees though, so is really beautiful.

    🎄Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

    I got up and ran 5 miles yesterday morning.  It was 27°F. Luckily it wasn't near as windy at 5:15  morning as it was on Wednesday.  It's hard to believe that I ran in shorts Wednesday.  But once I got going it wasn't too bad and turned out to be a good run. I had to work and I knew that if I didn't run before work I wouldn't get it done. I ended up getting off early, but I am still glad I ran early because the wind really picked up again.

    I have been reading through the thread and there is so much good going on. I'm sorry I am not better about making personal comments, but I give lots of likes and hugs. 

    @quilteryoyo I only had to work on Christmas Ev3, not Christmas day. And they sent out an email about 10:30 that said "Noon is 5". And then the big boss came by my office around 11:15 and said "it's 5, go home Merry Christmas". So I got to have most of the day off.

    @rheddmobile Congratulations on the 10K PR!

    @eleanorhawkins So glad you got negative results!!! I would plan to run less than the HM distance. But honestly I would probably just just play it by ear and see how the run felt.
