Three on the treadmill, then one on the indoor track in my stocking feet. I will probably repeat this workout tomorrow, but hopefully add a bit of weights and abs at the end. I don't know... I hate when it gets dark so early all I want to do is go home.

Ran with Sue on the parkway good time but we were very slow! There was a bunch of very slippery places. I think if it's still like this we may have to run the trails in our yaktraks. That might be funner anyway.

Very slow and a bit painful run tonight. The first two were by far the worst, then I started to feel a bit better. The last 1/2 mile was at a very slow pace but at a pretty steep incline. All on the treadmill. I really think I need to get off the machine.

The icky air cleared a bit and I was out on the road!! It  felt so nice to be off the treadmill. It was a bit cool when the sun went down but by then I had been running a while so I was pretty warm. I don't know how long the clean air will last... I will try to get out tonight after work, but I don't think I will be able to go as long.

Took it easier tonight, there is a new elliptical type machine at the gym. I did four miles on it then just ran a tiny little mile on the treadmill. I will try to get out and run outside tomorrow.

Sue baled on our run today, so I talked my hubby into going to the gym with me. We did a bit of weight together, then I talked him into running outside. It was such a nice day and I really hated the thoughts of being in the gym longer then I had to. We took it pretty easy, I don't want him to get injured and I think he needs to start slower... he always wants to go faster and harder then I think he should. I didn't have my garmin on but I'm think I'm pretty close on the miles. I run the parkway quite a bit so I think it's a good estimate.

So my husband and I had a couple of Christmas parties this weekend, one was just in our neighborhood. When we were walking home I tripped and fell, I hit my hip and knee pretty hard on the cement. No there was no drinking involved in this... I'm just getting more and more clumsy :( So my hip and knee were still a bit buggy when I was running... really hope I didn't do anything bad to them, I'll see how I feel later this week.

Three on TM and then one more mile on elliptical

five on the treadmill... not feeling very well, I think I'm getting the cold my husband anad kids have been passing around. Yuck!! Thought that sweating it out might help. I did feel better after I was done. We'll see if it helps in the long run.

Tomorrow is my last day at work until January 4th. YAHOOOOO!!!! I love having a big Christmas break. I have tons of plans. Nice morning runs, finishing a book I'm reading, finishing a doll I'm working on, and starting a new one, sewing, more reading, one day dedicated to helping my horder sister clean out her sewing room... and at least two pajama days. These are days when I do not get out of my jammies all day. I will wash my face and brush my teeth, but that is it.... these days can be incorporated into the reading etc.
