I'm on my way to teach spin right now. It's my last Saturday class before Christmas, so I'm busting out the Christmas music and decorations one more time..
I've also given up on the runner streak. I think I'll catch the next one which in my mind it's from January 1 to Valentine's Day. Anyone want to join?
Still nursing my morning coffee. I took this week off of running and now I feel like I need to run at least 10 miles to make up for all the food I consumed. Yikes!
We slept in a bit, but just got home from an 11-miler. We have dinner & drinks with friends tonight. We needed to burn some calories ahead of time. LOL

I hear ya! I keep eating like I'm in a 50 mile week.

I've been avoiding the daily eating & workout thread, because it would read similar to Kiawah. Huge amounts of sweets? Check! Enough booze to take down a fleet of sailors? Check! It's bad.
It rained overnight, so the streets are wet and gross. It's also 45 degrees. I don't ride in the wet and cold, so I did over an hour of really hard intervals on the trainer. CX Nats is only 3 weeks away!
I got up early to get my first long run of the training cycle in. It was kind of sucky. My body does not want to move in sub 30 weather. We are having Christmas with DH's family this weekend, so I'm alternating coffee and beer with a side of Crumbs cupcakes and cookies. Gee, wonder why my run sucked with such an awesome fueling plan. Lol!
I had 7:30 yoga this morning, then did my obligatory streak mile on the treadmill. It's cold and wet out today, so I am mostly going to stay in and clean.
I know better than to sign up for a Jan/Feb streak. My work hours are going to start to really pick up as tax season approaches.

I got up and did some errands (aka finishing christmas shopping). I'm eating a snack now and waiting for my clothes to come out of the dryer. Hopefully I'll be able to leave shortly for a 5 miler.
I slept in this morning and it was glorious and then I stuffed my face with a giant pancake. Heading out for 14 soon and then I'm off to the hospital at 7.

I'm not complaining about the cold, okay maybe just a little, but man it is hard to get that leg turnover in the cold.

I had to work this morning but it was nasty cold rain this morning. I was happy to not be running. I may head out for a few miles in the morning - my first since Kiawah.
I went out on the muddy trails at 7:30 this morning. This is huge for me, since I hate getting dirty! 12 down and, um, I still don't like it, but have accepted that it didn't kill me, so I'll do it again. I may be a trail runner after all!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
