-23C outside with a steep windchill on top so I dropped by the rec centre and my husband took the boys swimming at the same time. Exercise for everyone!

@WandaVaughn I think @MobyCarp’s suggestion for coming back a good thing. However, as you are coming back from being ILL and not injured from running it’s possible you may be able to get back up to speed sotospeak quicker. I’d still stick to that basic plan though. Or do c25k swapping weeks for days.
You’ll know what works for you and how strong you’re feeling. Key will be rest when you need to. Just REST dammit!!!4 -
Managed a Christmas Day run yesterday morning, doing a run around the town I spent my teenage years, running past pubs I used to go in. Most no longer existed, and clearly at 8am the favourite haunt of mine wasn’t going to be open!!!
Slightly reluctantly I also took the dog out later in the day. Lost a glove in the process (one of my new running gloves as well!) but we had a nice walk (mostly off-leash but he’s well-behaved)
Felt I deserved my Christmas Day meal and presents - a load more running socks and a long-sleeved running too were the running related items. Need it to turn cold again to be able to use the top!5 -
So, I keep forgetting to post, but if anyone would like to add me to a friend's list, I would greatly appreciate it. I could use some folks who run, or even just have a pulse is good to.3

Got up at 5 am and left the family behind in the hotel room. First went down to the gym to crank out my PT stretches and strength and my 2 week strength program for the day. Then put on (a lot of) clothes (18 degrees F) and went out to run 4 mi on the dark bike path near the hotel in Wheeling. Then off to sit in the car all day. Glad I got it out of the way early! We found an awesome Indian buffet for lunch on our way through Harrisburg, PA, so that made me happy! Only about 7 miles to go to my stretch goal for the month!
Goals this month: 90 miles, maintain weight, PT and yoga, add one day of weights per week, register for spring marathon or ultra

Merry Christmas to me- made my December goal and resultingly exceeded my annual goal of 5,000km or 3,125mi despite this time last year having just had emergency surgery (with January mileage that reflected it ).
I especially appreciate it being -38 while I was out there banging out the tail end of my annual goal. The hard is what makes it great and whatnot
And yes despite constantly wiping the freeze in my lashes away so I didn't wreck myself getting blinded they kept coming back. Apparently it was cold or something

Today's notes: Of course I have to follow @JessicaMcB Got in my assigned 1:15:00 trail run today for a total of 6.66 miles. My temp was only -11, so nothing super, but still cold enough. I'm now 14 miles away from meeting my justdecided on goal of 1800 miles for the year. Not a huge goal, but one I'm pleased with and something like 500 miles more than I ran last year, so there is that.
Hope everyone had a Runderful day.

Did 4 miles on the treadmill yesterday after the kids opened their presents. Christmas was hard for me this year with my husband being deployed. I was pretty bummed Christmas Eve. It’s a real bummer living so far from family and the holidays without my husband around makes it feel even worse. I was really hating on the military Saturday- haha.
We made it through Christmas and today I dragged the kids out of the house and we went to the gym. I did 4x 1mi at race pace with 2 minute rests. I managed to run 8 minute miles!
Then we drove all around town running errands. Back to real life!

Normally end of the month. Maybe check over the weekend for the January challenge0 -
12/26: 5k and my little running person for December reached her flower!
There's a nighttime fun run through Shelby Farms on the 30th, through the Christmas lights, and I'm considering going. On the one hand it sounds really fun and on the other hand it's supposed to be about 20 degrees. So far, every time we've run it's been in the daylight and above freezing. Since my husband's asthma hates the cold, I'm not sure I want to try our first sub-freezing run during a race. Also we would need to buy a second headlamp.
I got a nice UA water bottle for Christmas - I like this one which is solid metal because it's both light and really solid. I feel like I could beat off an attacker with it if I had to! Also, it's a groovy shade of green and makes me feel like my water is a magic elixir.5 -
I guess I am not doing this right lol .Everyone seems to put a lot of info o n here. I will try to put all my Dec runs up .I have to go and get them in my app.0

@ralphone There's no wrong way. It's whatever you want.
I started off my week with Back & Chest. I had to drop weight a few times but I felt like a badass after. Now I'm pacing to get a few more steps in before I get back to working on my biz. Been sitting most of the afternoon and gonna sit some more while making some art. Or attempting to
Trying to get ahead of the game and start 2018 with a bang! *kitten* anxiety lol1 -

Big Hairy Audacious Goal: Sub 4 hours in Pittsburgh 2018!
Official Marathon PR: 4:11:28
Next Races (more as I find them):
02/10/18 - Valentine's Day 15k
03/17/18 - Shamrock Shuffle Half Marathon
05/06/18 - Pittsburgh Marathon - aiming for sub four hours.
05/12/18 - Glacier Ridge 50k Trail Ultra (I must hate myself)
2020 - Disney World Dopey! (if can raise funds)
Non-running check in. Next run probably will be the 31st or 1st.0 -
I have 7 years worth of data in RunKeeper, and looks like 2017 was a really strong year for me in running...
Realy, going by that, easily my best running year ever.
I am at 1950 miles for the year. Shame I am on the road currently otherwise I could have gotten 50 miles in this week... ah well, that will give me a 2000 mile target for next year I guess9 -
Today my daughter and I went on the local trail (it's just a paved trail, not a trail like some of you talk about).
Anyway, she set out for 10 and I set out for 5. I ended up doing 6 and she did her 10.
We both commented how perfect the weather was for running. It was 48 when we started.
Looks like I hit my goal today. Although I don't know why I had a set number with this streak.
I'm LOVING this streak this year!
Need to get back to lifting tomorrow!
