5.5 miles outside yesterday (a "make-up" run for the run I skipped on Saturday )

6 miles on the treadmill at this gym this morning, doing some tempo work at target heartrates. Tough, but fun in it's own weird, sick way.

On New Year's Eve, I did the First Run 5K with my friend Jill, at midnight. (in sparkly dresses!) She's not a regular runner, so this was a challenge for her. I ran a half step behind her, so she wouldn't feel like I was pushing her. Finished in 29:57. 9:38/mile. I was so proud of her! As for me - last year I ran the Shamrock 5K in March in 30:33. 9:48/mile and it was a full-on effort. This run was actually really easy for me. I'm felt like I could have gone 9:30/mile or even a little less, as I really felt like I was just cruising and was able to hold a conversation with Jill. :-) Oh, and it was the day after my 9 mile long run. Guess I'm getting faster!

Added up my December mileage and saw I did 95 miles last month. Feels pretty decent for December.
