Weather - 22 degrees, cloudy, snowing.

An unusual run because of the park district Christmas party. I ran 7.5 miles across town to Jupiter's Bar and Grill, played scrabble and pool, ate pizza, received $50 for 5 years of service, a $20 gift card to the local grocery store, and a $25 gift certificate to my favorite Thai restaurant. I then ran 6 miles back home. 

My leg strength has increased since the 33.5 mile ultra in October. I can now run longer distances without getting sore. Today I had no remaining stiffness from the 26 mile run a few days ago, and running 13.50 miles was not a problem.

I love being this fit and strong, and it only took 1 year of dedicated running to achieve it. What am I going to be like next year?
