Aggie - I don't know how all of you can even walk in that humidity let alone run. When I have been down south I have felt like I was inhaling water!

Urlea - YOU go GIRL - you are one tough NoDak!
The temps are finally above 0 here but today is an off day so I will just go Christmas shopping (have only barely started - don't want to rush these things)

Back to running - I did my obligatory 2 miles yesterday on the track - tough, tough, tough ! ! ! ! I went back and logged all my running - it has been too sporadic and this past week I did what I was supposed to - I upped the miles too quickly AND w/ Christmas coming I didn't want to take an off day yesterday.

End of Whining.
I am supposed to do speed work tomorrow for the first time - we shall see. It is also my last swim day w/ my coach until the middle of Jan so I am going to put in a long swim. I may just do 1/2 the speed work

going to Canada for Christmas - plan on bringing x-country skis and ice skates - may or may not run. My hometown is small and I would have to run across it 4 times and still not get 4 miles in Maybe there is a fitness center there where i can use the Dreadmill.
For sure it will be 2 off days Christmas and Boxing day due to travelling.

Merry Christmas all and keep on a runnin'
