With Thanksgiving behind us, it's time to reset and get ready for the year end charge at work as well as trying to find some peace with Christmas on the way. And, oh yeah, there is this little race a couple of weeks after that, just 39.3 miles in like a 29 hour period. (oh, and my b-day thrown in the middle there for good measure...woohoo)
As for work, it's going to be a nightmarish 3 weeks as we try to meet a deliverable for 17th. The fun begins tomorrow with a packed meeting schedule 8:30 - 5 (maybe they'll allow me 15min for lunch...).
Training. Well, the leg has stabalized, I think. Still a little hip soreness, but I'm starting to suspect that my shoes are in breakdown mode. I have marked my runs with which pair I've worn, but haven't tallied the miles up to see. I suspect that they are down, or on their way out. New pair are in the mail though, so relief is on the way! Think I'm going to buy another pair so I can use one for the half and one for the full. The Asics GT-2150's are on sale this week for 69.99 down from 95.
With a 4.5 miler today, on a very brisk day (low 40's, light wind), I'm over 100 miles for the month (101.2 to be exact). With the crosstrain miles I'm at 155.2 total...pretty good month, heavier on the run, but alot more cross training than I'm used to. December will bring even more of a mix with cross-training in an attempt to be balanced for January.
Stay healthy folks, we're in the home stretch!

I hear you about work. I have a huge project going live two weeks after I get back from WDW. Our second conference room pilot will take place while I'm out...Should be interesting :)! It's going to be madness for sure - hang in there though, you'll make it. Just think how fast the time will fly!
Bad shoes = Pain....Glad the new shoes are on the way because you can't afford to have pain from bad shoes now. It's too close and we're right in the sweet spot for breaking in a new pair or two!
I'm still very impressed with your mileage for the month - especially considering the leg pain the last week or two. You're going to end in great shape. December will be a bit lighter for both of us I hope as we get closer to the taper and try to stay sane and healthy!
Stay strong!
Ya know you should have had a new pair already!!! I tell ya..
Nice mileage for the month. :)
What's working for you for fuel?? Like Amanda, where would you need a spotter? A friendly face to see, for extra encouragement??
Let us know!!!
