    @quilteryoyo @SummerSkier @martaindale - thank you for the kind words! 😊

    @martaindale - Sarah, you're totally killing it with your December miles. Great prep!!!

    @Laurz9191 - well done on a quick 10K! And you got sausage!! Niiiiice. 😊

    Ok, if I don't post here again... Hope you lovely ladies (+Scott !) have a great New Year's Eve! Happy New Year, and see you in the Jan 2023 thread!! 😊

    @tarun_yadavA - Happy Anniversary! Your wife is beautiful and you make a lovely couple! Congratulations on 16 years!
    Like @SummerSkier I have bathrooms mostly available where I run. One pretty much gets inhabited by homeless people (they can look the door) but the one at the other end of the trail is typically available and it has stalls and can't be locked. I also just need to not think about it but when I get home I have to 'run' to pee. My bigger issue is having stomach issues and with IBS it goes good for a while and then it is a thing again.
    I have used @juliet3455s race technique in the past as well. It does work as long as you don't try to keep up with someone who really speeds up and makes you start or try to go too fast. Been there done that and in a HM it just doesn't work well unless you really have more potential than you realize.
    @Laurz9191 - love that you got to run around that beautiful lake, even if you didn't notice it much! Great finish time too! You look very happy with your results and the sausage. In my mind I was thinking grilled bratwurst but that looks more like a cured salami?

    It is pouring rain here today and since @SummerSkier got us to @eleanorhawkins I may just head over and have a nice glass of sangria and something tasty to eat! Tomorrow the storm should be gone and I can start the new year out with a run! On the other hand it would be nice to finish the year with a short run if it clears up a bit.

    No run for me today. I did get out for a nice long walk. I took my two old dogs for a shealk and then took my son's corgi for a longer walk. He is younger and more energetic than my two.

    I did finish December with 111.5 miles. My total running miles for 2022 were 1401.2 miles. My total for 2023 including runs, walks and steps was 2095.83 miles.

    Congrats to all who accomplished their goals and those who worked on them you are all an inspiration to me.

    We stayed in tonight. I am ready for bed, but we have been waiting for the fireworks to settle down so the dogs will calm down. See you all next year (or I guess this year) in the January thread.

    @Laurz9191 Great job on your 10k! That lake is beautiful.

    @Scott6255 Congrats to you for the year streak and running so many miles this year!

    @polskagirl01 I know it’s disappointing to feel like you’re not doing as much as you were. But, your persistence and consistency is what’s so important right now. So many people in your position would certainly have found themselves doing nothing. Working with what your body is capable of right now and getting healthy is all you can do. I’m proud of you for sticking with it!

    @Laurz9191 Sounds like you made a great decision on your running outfit for the day. It's still odd that the guy has on that big coat if it was that warm....at least unzip it. :lol:

    @Fit2btied2016 Congrats on making your month's goal. Hope you enjoyed the Tiramisu. And, yes, running and racing can be addictive.

    Excellent mileage @kgirlhart ! I'm lucky that fireworks do not bother my Tippy. If it's loud, she may perk her ears up, but then lays right back down.

    @eleanorhawkins I hope you and your friend enjoy the race. You know you are a runner when you say, "It's JUST 13K." :lol:

    @martaindale Congrats on that mileage for the year. Awesome! Glad you were able to have race-day conditions for your run. People will probably need those 19 water stations, especially the one's toward the end. Sounds like you have a great plan. Can't wait to hear all about them. I know you are getting excitified! You're going to do great!
