So I set my running mileage goal for the year at 1,250 (as I mentioned recently). I have been following along on my next marathon training plan and found, to my horror, that I was going to be nine miles short of my goal on New Year’s Eve.
Therefore I’ve been adding miles to scheduled runs and throwing in short runs on off days to cover the delta. I’m a little tired but determined. It’s gonna happen even if I have to run seven tomorrow before the Christmas festivities.
Merry Christmas to all of you who observe the day. See you on the roads somewhere soon.

Love that determination – I was wondering why you’re going to run 7 miles on Xmas Day (a Friday – usually a rest day)!

I love running on days like Christmas, when I’m home and have no particular plans. Especially days like today when its sunny in the mid 60’s. But its Friday and my day off and I don’t have a year end mileage goal, so it will be the first Christmas in 5 years that I haven’t gone out for even an easy couple of miles.
Enjoy the day!
