| | 9AM - A lovely 8.5 mile jaunt in the pouring rain (I felt hard core!) with Lisa this morning. I expected she would bail (and Jordanne did bail) because of the crappy weather, but it actually was quite a nice run, not too cold (though my thighs were beet red by the end) and just lovely along the Cedar River. After Lisa left I decided to do some tempo miles, did 3 of those and then the last mile was a recovery mile but speedwork magic happened and that mile was nearly as fast as the tempos! I want to get fast again! TT: 1:17:40 AP: 9:08 Splits: 9:49, 9:57, 9:25, 9:22, 8:46, 8:22, 8:27, 8:48 Decorated our Christmas tree! I want to decorate the house too but it's still pouring and I don't have that much self-hatred! :-) |

| | PM - 80 minutes on the elliptical. My right foot kept falling asleep which was really annoying! After the required 60 I wasn't bored yet so I said I would keep going until I was ready to die of boredom. Wanted 90 minutes but the boredom-to-death was there at 80! |

| | PM - 40 minutes on the elliptical, 55 minutes of centergy (was a little late, stupid traffic). It felt hard today! My push-up skills have already left me. |

| | PM - Lovely run with Lisa around the community center. 3.5 with her, after she left I did 2.5 more on the indoor track, the last mile I did 1 lap on 1 lap off, did the mile in approximately 8 minutes flat. Is it the weekend yet?

| | PM - Ran 1 mile (probably a little more than that) to and from my office to the post office and back. Yes I was wearing my work clothes, including a sweater dress, jeans, and a winter coat. Yes I was hot and sweat through my sweater dress! And yes it was unplanned, I started walking there and then just started running. And YES it felt glorious! Later PM - Met Jordanne for a lovely 7.55 mile run around the community center / BPA. Chilly, around 39, I could feel the cold through my tights, and was never warm despite wearing gloves and a long-sleeve. Got a slow start because we ran to the bathrooms and they were LOCKED! What? Why FW Parks why?! Then we had to run back to the community center and sneak Jordanne in. I felt pretty good the whole time, though tired and ready to be done by the end. I'm so glad she could come (so I could run in the dark without being scared!) and she was willing to go so far (unplanned). Feels great to have my longer run done before the weekend even starts! It's funny how I love running so much but always seem to dread the long run. I look forward to 5-6 miles but anything over 7 is something to dread. My mind is an idiot.

Didn't go to the gym but I think raking leaves, cleaning, and putting up Christmas lights works as a cross-training workout today! So productive today and got so much done!
