Brrrrr.... It's cold and snowy...

Man, it's been snowing, and schools have been cancelled, and all kinds of people have been blocked in their neighborhoods till the city came and removed all the snow.  I'm so glad I don't like in Washington DC to deal with all that, because here it was 55 degrees for our run.  Started off in shorts and short sleeve shirt, but it quickly came off as it was a little humid too, and i tend to overheat.

It was nice to run in just shorts again, and it's supposed to get all the way up to 71 for the day!

Especially since yesterday was the shortest day of the year, meaning we're now closer to the return of the warm weather and longer sun hours!

I'm still a little bummed about easing off the throttle for the rest of the year.  I'm sitting at 250 miles for the month, and it's only the 22nd of December. It would be soo easy to crank out another 129 miles in 9 days to get to 3,000 for the year, but I must focus on what's best for the race, so i'll end up 30 or so miles short.  

 

Oh well...  there's always next year.

But, I think i'm going to have to make sure i beat last year's total!
