Its two days before Christmas, and an insane day at home! Between kid’s activities, the holidays, and squeezing in training, its been crazy! I’ve been trying to increase my workouts in the beginning of the week to free up more time with my family on the weekends and avoid conflicts.   This morning was really tough because I had a biopsy scheduled and I wasn’t supposed to run….but……… I did.

I ran 12 before my biopsy and 4 miles after. My plan is to meet a girlfriend tomorrow and get in 14 miles- its her long run day, so hopefully that will workout.  She typically runs a little easier so it gives me a chance to relax and do recovery at the same time.  My hope is to have an easy 6 miles on Christmas, and  another workout the day after (possibly 3 x 2 miles, 2 x 3 miles or 1x 6 miler).  Whatever it is, I’m sure its going to be tough because its coming off of Christmas night, but I’ve GOT to get it in before we leave for Milwaukee- the temperature has been very cold there, so I’m hoping I can still get in one run a day.  I do have access to some indoor facilities, but its hard to squeeze it in with family time and activities.   Like everything else, its just a matter of making everything fit in place!
