Who gets up on a cold and windy Saturday morning? Um, me, it seems. Somewhere along the line I became the runner guy… But the training for a 22K in February goes on. πŸƒ

Started off 2024 with a 5K. Was trying to push my pace. Was fine for first mile or two but died on last mile. Needed to eat better more before race. Would have been happy with that pace a years ago but can run faster now. Lots of races to go in 2024 (5,10,15,22Ks)πŸƒ

Finished reading: The Christmas Guest by Peter Swanson πŸ“š // great Christmas novella that can be read in one sitting. First half set up, second half dark twist.

Did a Running Advent this December. Starting on 12/1 you run .5mi and then add .5 each day until you reach 6, then reverse the process ending on 12/23. I ran every day for 23 days. Most consecutive days I have ever run and most miles. πŸƒ
