This will likely be my last post until after Christmas. So let me take a moment to wish all of you out there in cyberland a very Merry Christmas. While I am excited for the holidays and the vacation I have been saving my days for all year round, I am also aprehensive. Holidays equal chaos. All the excitement also means, cooking, cleaning, mending and refereeing.
Now, combine that also with trying to stay motivated to train and then running the long runs when you want to be inside with your family gathered around hot pancakes instead of snotting all over yourself in the chilly air.
Running at home means running up and down the almost mile stretched road that my folks live off of. Parading myself in front of house after house with dogs that scare me while trying to appear dignified as the sweat pours down your arms, legs and back. If it's cold, you snot and that's even worse.
I am thankful that where they live now is not my hometown and I don't know many people and none of the neighbors well enough to be too embarrassed but I still have to say I am anxious. Hopefully the eggnog will kick in and I'll be so relaxed that a 14 mile run will seem like a welcomed break.
Despite my worries I wish you a very Merry Christmas, a Happy and safe New Year. I'll see you on the flip side.
