| Slept in so only enough time for 10 prior to church. Came up with a home loop that fit the 10 miles in. It was a nice morning for a run. Then a fun day decorating for Christmas after church.

| Up early and straight into work to get a good start on the week. After the bedtime routine went for an evening run. So a couple other runners out. It was nice out and foggy.

| Crazy early day. Needed to get some stuff out of the way before my day "began". Left the house at 4am returned at 6:30pm. At least I got everything planned done and still made it home for bed time stories... Exhausted but needed the run so I did the same loop as last night. It was perfect out. Shorts and a t-shirt.

| Even with the extra sleep I never seemed to get significant traction today… I did do a fartlek run and that seemed to go well. Evening run with sleeping in.

| Today was much better. Got some work done and had a generally productive day. Did not make my deadline but did what I could. Oh, and the last two days it was >70F!!! Shorts and a t-shirt and I could have probably gone with on the shorts.

| Shirtless December run. Muggy and breezy. Felt good the little it tried to rain. Early start to the day to end the week. Happy Friday.

| What a difference a day can make. I cannot believe that yesterday I was running shirtless and it was humid out. This morning it was in the mid-30s and relatively nice for running. I'm feeling the mileage right now and just cannot get moving. I'm enjoying the mileage though and will keep at it. Just amazing to think that I have not run 2 consecutive miles at marathon race pace since I've been here.
