After attending my work's Holiday Party, I hit the treadmill and knocked out 3.2 miles with 2.2 miles at marathon pace and one mile at an easy pace.  As a Follow-up to this workout, I went out for a short evening run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed three laps around the softball complex before taking the long way home.  Even though my eyes watered then froze up a little bit (i.e., got a slushy feeling to them), it felt great to get some fresh air during this run that covered 2.9 miles.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-up, and 40 (50 lbs) reverse curls.

Thanks Kelli! This has been by far my best year of running and a large part of the credit is due to this blog and everyone one it. Also, nice 12 and 20.5-mile workouts!!! You are really getting after it and are completely correct in that running in the snow is hard work (but sort of fun). Keep it up!!!
