    @quilteryoyo Your race photos look great. Mine always look like I'm melting or mad, even when I'm having a good race. I'm really going to try for some good on-course photos during Dopey. Anything that doesn't make me look miserable.

    I got an e-mail with official race pictures this afternoon. My favorites are under the spoiler.

    Being silly for the camera. The photographer loved it.

    Home stretch. You can really see how hot I was.

    The only one where I am "flying." Both feet are barely off the ground.

    Finish line. Another lesson learned - if pictures are being taken, look up at the finish line, not down at my watch. Plus, I think I look like I'm about to trip over my own two feet. LOL




    I was always afraid I'd trip over the timing mechanism.

    It was definitely cold this morning. But I still had a nice 5.5 mile run. Yesterday I hit 2000 miles for Run the Year. I am including all of my steps in that, not just running. It's still challenging for me though. And I am excited that I should hit 2022 in a few days.

    Thanks @mari33a! I'm glad you didn't fall.

    Great race report @quilteryoyo. You did great and I love the medal. And those are some really good race photos!

    Glad you weren't injured @tarun_yadavA . Sometimes "catching" yourself from falling makes you twist in weird ways. Also glad to here is should clear up soon.

    @martaindale I hope you get a lot of great photos. The only photographer I actually saw was the one where I was acting silly and the one that took my photo with the lighthouse in the background. Didn't even think about one at the finish line or I would have been looking up and cheering the fact that I was done. LOL So glad to read that your calf wasn't sore and you were able to run 6.1 miles this morning without even a twinge! We're going to have a really cold Christmas too. Not sure I am as happy about it as you are, even though if we get some snow, that would be nice.

    @Tramboman Wouldn't that be the pits!

    Great recovery run @Scott6255 ! Glad nothing hurt.

    Congratulations @Fit2btied2016 ! You are doing great and glad you have such a "nice" massage lady. Good luck getting your puppy today. You'll have to post pictures for us.

    @Mari33a Nice run. Love the pictures. In the second one it looks like your pup is questioning your sanity. LOL

    Congratulations @Teresa502 ! I didn't realize the Pioneer 5-Miler was today. I guess I need to keep up to date better. But, I probably wouldn't have run it anyway. It was a cold one today with the wind. You did fantastic!!!!

    @martaindale - awesome, Sarah! Saw the 16Miler on Strava 🙌. Glad no pains or niggles.
    @AlphaHowls - you're just, wow! Well done on being well ahead of schedule

    @AlphaHowls Seems I remember that some of us suggested you make a trip to the moon and back once you made it around the world, but we decided it wasn't possible...... I'm sorry you get SADD and PTSD. That's so hard to deal with. Hugs, even though I know that doesn't really help.

    @AlphaHowls We must have had the same mom. She always said, if you're bored, I'll find you something to do. LOL But, she loved to read, so if I told her I was reading, I could get out of doing about anything...not that I ever did that. :wink: I can't imagine doing a HM of crazy laps either. Do you have a path worn out in your carpet?
    All hugs help!
    My mom swears I have worn out the carpet, but I have not, but you can tell where I am mostly.

    @kgirlhart Congrats! Thats quite an accomplishment. And, wow, capris in 30 degree weather. You are made of sturdier stock than I! I would be thick leggings, warm long sleeve, gloves, ear cover. The whole shebang.

    Congrats to you for your 3rd place finish @Teresa502!

    It is getting cold here too but you guys up north are really getting hit hard. Stay warm everyone!

    12/17: 16 miles
    12/18: 5 miles

    Unlike @kgirlhart I decided to take advantage of an open schedule and waited until the afternoon to run. It was 50F, feels like 47F. And I wore long leggings, long sleeve tech shirt, and baseball hat.

    @SummerSkier I am out in the hill country right now and it is getting way colder here than Houston. We have 2 nights with lows in the teens predicted. It's a good thing I came up and covered outdoor faucets and got the well house heat lamp set up. We hadn't done the winter prepping yet as it really hadn't gotten cold yet then boom! Super mega cold!
