| BROWN BROWN DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!! |
Brown December is back on full swing, after christmas brought us a thoughtful 55 degree day, with at least 2 inches of rain. You might think I am being sarcastic, but I was 100% ok and on board with this event. I even headed out after work for a very pleasant, early summer rainy day run. ZERO complaints. PLUS, it rained enough to legit wash it all away- no annoying residual ice to cope with!

| Looking fancy on Christmas |
It was a really decent week on the running front. There was some treadmilling along, since I worked A FUCKING TON this week, but I also was able to get outdoors several times.
At this point, sunset has thoughtfully moved to the *convenient* hour of 4:10, so we are beginning to gain ground. I believe sunrise is still at 7:17 though, so woking sunrise to sunset is still no challenge at all for me.

| Well. That's not ugly. |
I joined in another challenge this week, mostly because it has a really pretty medal and I have precious few of those from this year (which is a fact, but to be truthful, I find these challenges to be quite motivating!) Of course, I still am plugging along, and slowly gaining ground, on the positively endless Boston to Bar Harbor (I am over 75% done at this point.)
The new challenge is much shorter, and from the looks of things, is going to be downright fast and furious for the leaders. (someone logged over 70 miles in week one, so there's that!) The goal is to complete 202.0 miles before Spring (March 20). This certainly is a much more manageable number of miles that any challenge I have done this year, but I am hoping to finish it in 6 weeks.
So. We are moving quickly towards New Years and 2021. While I know that the change of year will not be a magic cure, I will not be sorry to see 2020 leave. Good things have happened this year, but the shadow of actual, real doom has been ever present. I am very happy to report that both my sister (ICU/Critical Care nurse) and my mother (home care nurse) have been given their first Covid vaccine with no ill effects. All of us are having zero family/friends holidays, and are collectively feeling annoyed by people who can't seem to have a merry zoom Christmas. *sigh*
I don't really know how my running numbers look compared to years past, but I'm sure I'll compile some data this week for an end of the year wrap up. I certainly know, that the lack of races sis not cause me to quit running, so I guess I'm not fair weather athlete.
Happy Holidays kids. Wear your masks.
Stats:
Miles run:
Running: 37.3
Straight up walking: 0.0
Total: 37.3
Warmest day: 55
Coldest day: Not cold this week. 30 I think
Snow: 2" rain
Place in Challenge (s) on Sunday night:
Boston to Bar Harbor: 129/572 A 10 place improvement. Slow and steady, and ahead of schedule.
202 Winter miles: 33/994 A good start. New Years will make this one crazy, I bet, with a lot of people logging enough high mileage to finish very quickly.
