I know you're supposed to rest a bit after a marathon, but since White Rock I have gone 18 whole days without running a step!! Ugh! Excuses? Not really. Just 1) lazy, 2) tired, and 3) lazy. Plus, I don't have a running plan in place right now. That's the main reason. If I don't have a plan laid out telling me what to run today, I tend not to run. I have decided not to run the Bandera (100K)/Rocky Raccoon (100 mile) combo I had said I would run (back in October). I'm thinking my next run might be Cross Timbers (50 mile) in February. Yes, as I crossed the finish line at the last one, I swore I'd never do it again. But after coming in last place and nearly setting the record for the slowest time ever on the course (report here), I feel like I have to redeem myself. Plus, I can probably beat my time from last year!
So this morning I slept in, but I did get out and run 8 miles. I returned to my hilly route. I didn't run there for several weeks leading up to White Rock, since I was focused on upping my pace. If I go to Cross Timbers again, I will definitely have to be doing some hill work.
More importantly, whether you're running, sitting on the couch, flying or driving to see your family and friends, have a very merry Christmas! I pray that Jesus will be more real to you than ever this year!
