It is the first Friday I've worked since starting this job...hopefully it is the last.
I declare today a hoodie day. For no reason in particular, but we haven't had a "nationwide" hoodie day for a while.

For the second time this week, last night, I opted for time with food, drink and friends over a run. So, you're up 2, BJH! But that's OK. This challenge has served it's purpose. It got me running and liking it again! 
I aim to run tonight. But guaranteed to run tomorrow and Sunday! And strength. I'm looking forward to the workouts.

Felt it a bit in the fingers on this morning's ride in. Winter looks like it will arrive next week with a predicted snow fall... looking forward to the ride

Owen couldn't make it out last night -- he had a date with the Sleep Fairy!!
I would love to run with you HCmD, but you are clear across the city.... I guess we could each run to a half-way point, say Hi, and return to our point of destination -- that would make it what?? A 50K LSD each!!

Yesterday: Did strength at the gym followed by 20 minutes on the elliptical.
Today: 6K with 4K at Tempo pace done on the treadmill this morning. It's nice to have my workout done for the day so that I can play! Runpub Christmas Party tonight. There will be dancing!

12.5 km this AM: "Last week's" speed work:
2 km warm up @ easy pace
12 X 500 m @ 5 km pace, with 1 min. easy pace between intervals
2 km cool down @ easy pace
"Office" Christmas party this PM. Last year turned into a bit of a lampshade evening (or so I've been told), so planning to behave. 
(uRun2 is DD...)
Should be good to run 30 km with Andy Sunday, though

I'm going to do something today... just haven't figured out what it is yet! I think I'll do the Yin Yoga.
Have a great festivus Friday all!

I'm still feeling the DOMS from Wed's leg workout. Yesterday, I did a 30 min spin and 30 min power walk.
Today is my rest day though it really won't be as I still have to do all that housework that I was suppose to do earlier this week.
Have a great day all!
T- 5 days ...until I run again.

Planning for a gym workout tonight after work. Hoping s/o is home early enough to join me... we so seldom get a chance to work out together! (Good sign, he's at least in this city already!!!! Here's hoping!)
TGIF all!
For those enjoying festive parties tonight, have fun, be careful and don't drink and drive! Three cheers to all those DD's out there!

A nice chilly morning for a nice easy 8k. Well part of it wasn't as easy as maybe it should have been because I wasn't really paying attention and wound up running a few k too fast, but nothing too strenuous.
I get to hang out with drunken bankers at my wife's Xmas party tonight.
