A New Storm Blowing Through

Beware Easterners! There's a new storm blowing through Southern California coming your way. And just so you don't think I'm a complete wimp, I ended up finishing my run yesterday in the rain. But I have a purpose - I am within reach of my goal of 1500 miles for the year. I whipped out a three miler in 26:30 at heart rate of 76% of MHR. I was trying to push a little harder, but I just couldn't muster anything else from within. The issue yesterday were my legs. They are obviously still a little pissed about what I made them do over the weekend. A short run was just what the doctor ordered.

So, now here's my conundrum. I'm going to be out of commission Tuesday and Wednesday next week (business trip to Chicago). 38 miles this week leaves me 4 miles short of my goal. Monday is a scheduled three miler. Friday starts a new year. Talk about coming down to the wire!

One last thing - Santa was spotted in Southern California yesterday. Seems he's taking a little break from the snow and cold weather!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Left Coast!
