Well, Christmas has officially come and gone. Bad news - it's over, and that stinks. Good news - I got my scheduled mileage in over the holiday weekend, plus a couple of unanticipated extra miles! On Friday morning Dad and I woke up early and ran at T.H.P. (I did 8 and he did 10, though he did his last 2 miles with me at "my" pace).
Then, on Saturday afternoon, Dad's running group organized an impromptu "Fruitcake Run" at Herman Park (because you've got to be slightly nutty to run on Christmas Day, right?). Because I didn't want to slow down the group, I chose to hang back with my mom, brother, and my brother's dog, Ellie. Ellie and I ran a couple sprints while mom & Rob walked. After the group returned from a 2 mile run, we all went our separate ways. On the way home, I was feeling a little guilty for not having run with the group, so I borrowed my dad's running belt and leash, and grabbed Ellie and we did a couple laps around our neighborhood park - definitely a new experience to run with a dog, but we had fun! Since I had only planned on running on Friday, getting those couple of miles in on Saturday (even though they were slow, easy, miles) really pleased me.
Friday's run:
- 8 miles; 1:48:00 min; 13:30 min//mi avg
- 1.5 miles; 0:21:02 min; 14:01 min/mi avg
