    I had my husband map out a route for me last night! We used google earth. That stuff is great. I followed the route today on my c25k just to make sure I didn't get lost on Christmas. :wink:

    Awesome! I need to map out a route because it turns out I'm going to my grandma's house, and need a course that I know is 5k in distance!
    SO excited! doing this in the AM is going to make Christmas so much less stressful and more enjoyable!!

    Hey all, just saw this thread and would love to join too! I planned on going out for a big walk/run combo after presents and breakfast and this way I won't get too comfy. Won't do the New Years one, our gym is open both days and they always do long spin classes. I did a double spin this morning so I can enjoy our Christmas Eve appetizer extravaganza with a little less guilt. Merry Christmas!

    Well, I bundled up and went out for a run outside in 26 F weather with light snow. Confession - I did not run 3.1 miles (5k). I ran 2.16 miles. Started wheezing from the cold air (mild asthma). BUT, I ran at a good pace. My garmin gave me an average pace of 9:53/mile. Not lightning quick, but not too shabby. Especially since my way back home is all uphill!

    After my run though I did do 1/8 mile (length of my long driveway) of slow walking DEEP lunges. That was tough, but felt great!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
