Here I am - happy as a clam...not suspecting this year would end very much like it began.

...with me not running.

Woke up to snow flakes this morning and had this running through my head all day.

I take no credit for this. Grabbed if off Google images :)

I ended up running!  3 frigid miles.

There's something about signing up for a run club event that gets you out the door, you know?  I'm glad for the accountability.  Even though it was 33 degrees (with a real feel temp of 23), it wasn't so bad.  Just layer up and keep on moving!

What about you?

Are you pumped for winter running?

What motivates you to run when it's oh so cold outside?

 

It's about time I'm sitting down the finish this race report.  So much to say about a race I wasn't supposed to start much less finish. :)

Lots to be thankful for with this one.

Finished!  Praise the Lord.

Tired but happy

 

 

 

Race report to come...

3 days left to race day.  That’s 3, 2, Marathon!

I’m ready as I’ll ever be considering I haven’t been running and have spent the greater part of the last 10 months nursing a foot injury.  

Evidence A:   the chart below is of my last three [and basically only] weeks of training.
