Fabulous Run

I started this blog on Monday and am just now getting around to finishing it. It's been a pretty busy week. That's what happens in December. I was sitting at my desk on Tuesday or Wednesday when I suddenly realized...omg Christmas is next week. I hadn't bought a single gift for my family yet (sorry Mom) and had not put up my tree. Last week I had mexican food (or at lesat margaritas and chips) seven times in eight days. Sounds like some sort of record for me. First time I ever had Torchy's Tacos...so good. I got a few runs in, some were pretty good, some were on the treadmill. This morning E and I and another friend went downtown at 5am to help set up for the 12K of Christmas and then me and E ran it. We did just under 10minute miles the whole time, it was a training run for E and I was just along for the ride. Then later today I finally downloaded the software for my garmin.

Oof, was it an early morning. Ran the Turkey Trot with E at a comfortable 9/min pace. Went home and made myself breakfast...with mimosas. Bc, why not? And then E's family was nice enough to invite me to dinner again. What else happened. Cooked Friday night at my place, did nothing on Saturday, worked from home and then cooked at G's on Sunday, was feeling green all day Monday and cooked last night for SoA. Besides the Turkey Trot, I've only run twice in the past five days. Once felt horrible, tho the pace was decent, and the second was on the treadmill and I felt semi-decent. I really would like to try and start running over lunch, but it's going to have to wait until next week. We have a work event tomorrow night - the Hall of Fame dinner at the Grove - so I'm getti...
