Hey KSH! Don't worry about it Someone will have to do the job as I'll be running much less in the first months of the new year!!

Glad you went out there, even if it hurt a little bit. I realize how much regularity running takes, otherwise it just hurts like hell when I start again!!

I had a Christmas-day run with my sweetie yesterday. He ran with me, how sweet! (Normally he runs about 50% faster than me, so either we ran separately, or he runs in circles around me... literally!! ) We went about 9 miles with a fierce headwind on the way out and a nice tail wind on the way back.

No run today after three hours of snowshoeing with sweetie and his dad, going up about 500 m up hill.

"Are you going to keep up with your exercise plan?" asks my darling when I tell him I'm not going for a bike ride.

"You mean, just snowshoeing uphill for two hours and downhilling for one today, running 80 minutes yesterday, and cycling over 120 km the two days before that? Well, no, I guess not..." *sigh* Unless he gets two workouts a day he goes wacko!!!

Enjoy the break ladies! (I hope you get one!)
