On Christmas Eve, I ran not one, but two virtual races:
and the Home for the Holidays 10k.
It was good to be back home in the tundra after sweating my coconuts off in Key West…
…ok sort of…not really.
I wore some of my favorite things, doing my best to channel the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Make that a strong Sugar Plum Fairy.
I love this base layer top from Athleta almost as much as life itself.
An equally purple jacket, and a certain little gumdrop, completed my ensemble.
I got out to strong wind and temps in the mid-20’s.
My ornery ham made its presence known briefly between miles 1 and 2 and,
as expected, the going was slow. Sigh.
After just a tad more than 5k, Garmin said:
But my racing day was not over.
There was a 10k to complete as well so I soldiered on until Garmin said:
I carried on, picking it up a smidge until 10 miles were complete, average pace 9:15.
Overall a fun and festive outing.
How have you fit in your workouts over the holidays?
