Well, believe it or not, it's December! Personally I can't believe it...the year is just about at a close. But here it is anyway, our favorite monthly running thread - newbie or long time runner, whoever you are - commit and share your running here!
So how'd you do this year? Did you achieve your running goals? Still have goals to achieve? My main goal was to run 1000 miles this year. As of this morning I'm at 926 miles and with the whole month of December to go, I should have no troubles achieving that. So I'm pretty proud of that. I was thinking about making next year's goal 1212 miles for 2012, but since I've recently dropped to 3 days a week of running (which I'm loving by the way) I think that would be pretty difficult to do, but who knows.
I had to do my long run this morning, it was a shorter one though 8 miles. But I did spin last night and now have to work all day, so I'm a little spent. I did my LR today as opposed to my usual Sunday because it's DHs b-day this weekend and we're going to a nice dinner and I don't want to have to forgo the drinks and decadent food because of needing to run the next morning - LOL.
I also had a great 9 mile LR this past Sunday. It was one of my top ten runs I think. We were out of town and the course I chose was amazing. I hit the beach, the marina, the canals and it was just wonderful.
Up next I have a 5 mile easy run tomorrow and 6 mile hill run Saturday. Next week my schedule will be a little off again because of a x-mas party, but after that no more running back to back. Marathon training is kicking into high gear in the next few weeks and I'm excited and exhausted
So let's finish the year strong!
