Ahhh.  The right shoes today.

I woke up at a little after 4 (not on purpose) and listened to the rain, all the while dreading the sound of the alarm.  I might have slept a bit more, but I finally got out of bed at a little after 5 and dragged my feet till about 5:30 before finally heading out.

It was 37 degrees with 16 mph wind.  As I was running I saw crazy Que (a 60 year old woman who, until about 5 years ago, was always one of the top women in the area) running with a resistance chute on the track.  Did  I mention she's crazy?

I wasn't sure how long I wanted to run today.  Once I got out there I decided that 8 sounded better than the 6 I was originally planning. Avg. pace:  9:30. 

I'm off to breakfast with my husband's family and then it's off to Chicago for my family get-togethers.   We'll be there till the 29 or 30.  Here it's raining, there I think it's icing, so I hope it's all clear by Saturday.

Merry Christmas everyone!

You were really out early this morning, and in the rain, and you opted for 8 over 6. Maybe you're the crazy one. Oh wait, no resistance shoot? Okay, crazy Que wins. She's the crazy one.

Have a great trip and Merry Christmas!

Great job on getting 8 miles in so early in the morning. Have fun in Chicago! Hopefully it's not to icy to do a little running.

Hey crazy Tracy, okay maybe not as crazy as the woman with the chute on the track. Safe travels and good holidays!
