Total 62.95 out of 100

My brain was having an argument with itself on the way home on running or not running. The good half won. It was a nice 4 miles in the rain. The hat I wore annoyed me so maybe I should have skipped it.

I hit 625 of 650 this year. Not too bad for a comeback year that started off with some dizziness issues. Now, on to 2019!

ETA: I stuffed myself with steak, sweet potato and champagne for dinner.

Thank you, 2018. I didn't get everything I wanted to out of you, but I'm very grateful for what I did get. May 2019 be better... for all of us.

So, last night I had a dream I went for a run, found some kids and ran with them for a bit. I then told them I was the fastest runner in the group, so if I a bear came after us, they were all in trouble. Then, no joke, I woke up and wondered if I remembered to log the run.

I definitely need more eggnog.

12.31: 4.5 @ 9:07/M (85.8) Intervals

Finished the year with some hard intervals. Really struggling to even hit my speed target with them.

For the year, I ran 783.1 miles over 187 activities with an average pace of 9:08/M. I didn't run the first 6 weeks of the year because I had broken fingers and a bunch of stitches (and out on workman's comp) and was afraid of falling and injuring my hand even further (and getting in trouble at work I made it worse). I also don't run a lot in July and August because of the heat, but I'm going to try to do better this year with at least getting in some time on the treadmill if the heat index is over 95 instead of just skipping my run.

I know it's January , but I forgot to update my last few days of December!
