It was a snowy, slushy morning, so I went to run on the treadmill.  I think I'm going to be spending lots of time on the treadmill since I run so early in the morning, and I'm scared to run on the roads in the dark.  

Today is my baby Lily's first birthday.  I've experienced many flashbacks of last year when I was as big as a whale and ready to pop.   Having a December baby definitely added a layer of beauty and meaning to the holidays.  I thought of giving birth to my little girl as I ran this morning.

I started at 8.0 mph and increased .1 every half a mile.  So, I finished the run at 10.0 mph.  It felt nice and easy for about 6-7 miles.  I was working hard the last three miles.  The overall time was 67:27.  

I'm trying to front-load my week.   I want to go for a Christmas run, but I don't want 10 or more miles looming before me.
