12/21: changed the plan to add two long runs on Thursday and Friday as I will be busy smoking a turkey on Christmas morning and do not intend to run.
| Date | Saturday December 18th |
| Plan | am - 22 miles pm - Nothing |
| Outcome | 5am - 38F and clear. Ran 6 by myself and then another 18 with Meghan. Didn't run that fast, but felt like I could go forever. We chatted away and I added on bonus miles to get her up to 18. I finished with 24 miles in 3:22:46 (8:27 average). Fun morning. |
| Date | Sunday December 19th |
| Plan | am - 15 miles pm - Yoga |
| Outcome | 6am - 33F. Another strong run today. Hammered 10 miles of road hills and then ran hard on hilly and technical trail. Once more I felt like I could run forever. pm - no yoga tonight. Forgot we had a party to go to. Oh well - bring on the egg nog. |
| Date | Monday December 20th |
| Plan | am - Nothing pm - Bob workout 1 (30 minutes) |
| Outcome | pm - really pushed myself tonight and got a really good hard workout in |
| Date | Tuesday December 21st |
| Plan | am - 10 miles pm - Bob cardio workout (1 hour) |
| Outcome | 4:30am - 67F. My legs were all kinds of sore this morning - probably a combination of Sunday's hills and last night's workout. Decided to make this a recovery run, so I didn't push the pace. Finished 10 miles in 1:22:13 (8:13 average) pm - realistically, I don't think there was ever any chance I would make this workout. After a busy evening, I'm finally sitting down and enjoying a glass of wine instead. |
| Date | Wednesday December 22nd |
| Plan | am - 8 miles (easy) pm - Bicycle trainer (30 minutes) |
| Outcome | am - didn't happen. I was up until gone midnight with a crying baby, and there was no chance of me getting up at 4am pm - probably not going to happen either since we've promised Gavin we'd take him to the cinema |
| Date | Thursday December 23rd |
| Plan | am - 12-15 miles pm - Bob workout 2 (30 minutes) |
| Outcome | 6am - 56F. Ran an easy 15 miles with Meghan. Sometimes it's good to just run, chat and enjoy the morning pm - I guess I underestimated how busy Christmas week was going to be. Another miss. |
| Date | Friday December 24th - Christmas Eve |
| Plan | am - 16 miles pm - Core workout |
| Outcome | 5am - 55F and raining. Did a nice relaxed 17 miles with Clea and Wesley. This run brought up 81 miles for the week - not bad at all. |
