I have been very naughty about blogging.  I have been running a bit and just ran the Mistletoe Half.  Not an easy, PR course- but a very pretty course through Winston Salem.  I think the YMCA did a great job managing so many runners.  The post race food was the best I've seen- smoothies, pizza, bagels, fruit, etc.  The weather was yucky- rained the whole time, 40 degrees.  Luckily I warmed up and it wasn't an issue.  No wind- so that was a blessing.  I ran with a couple girlfriends and we took it really easy chatting and warming up the first 3 miles.  Then we each settled into our own race.  I decided then that I wanted to break 2 hrs and I had to step it up a bit.  Luckily I just barely made it.  I didn't approach this race with much gusto- but it was fun anyway of course.  Need to decide what my next goal is.  I haven't really been motivated since the Outer Banks Half.  I think winter has something to do with it..

Christi - with you on the tough to get motivated during winter, hopefully not gain too much weigth and not lose too much runnning base, always a winter time struggle. It is always nice to break two hours in a tough half. Are you coming back to run STG next year?

Christi-

I've been bad about checking blogs. I was wondering if you'd gotten any snow Friday from this storm.

I heard about a new years eve run out in your neck of the woods. It's a 5k and looked like fun, but it's a little far away for me.

If you're interested, I'll try & find more info on it for you.

Do you have any other races you're looking forward to/training for?

Merry Christmas Christi!

Hope you're enjoying a warm, tropical holiday in the Florida sunshine!

The cold will be waiting for you when you return :-)

Congrats on your half! I think it is normal for most people to go through enthusiasm cycles. You might be in the latent phase, gathering up energy for the next time you go crazy-go-nuts with your PRs!

PS Did I read that you are starting grad school? CONGRATS! Wait, and still working full time? Crazy chica, you make us all look lazy!
