Easy progression run 10 mi with 5 x pickups (7:45 avg).  Not much else to report.  I'm slipping a bit in terms of motivation and my body is wanting a break now that the snow is flying and temps have dropped.  Seems like December has always been my hardest month, motivation wise, until I get that "fresh start" feeling going again in January.  Heading off to deer hunting this weekend.

Thanks. I'll just keep looking at your blog for some extra motivation when I need it. And do I need it this time of year.
