Anyhow, if it is any consolation, I wasn't going to be getting a run in over the next few days anyhow. We're heading up to the NY/NJ area to visit some family and I wasn't going to be bringing my running gear this time around.
However, this brings the number of non-running days to six in a row. By the time I get a chance to run again it will be nine days off.
This also means that I will not be making my 1,000 mile goal for the year (unless I go for a 30 miler on Dec 31 - very doubtful). I'm actually OK with not achieving this goal. Last year I ran 600 miles for the year (my best ever) so hitting 970 definitely is nothing to cry about. Plus, I didn't set the 1,000 mile goal until July. Out of the 5 mid-year goals I set, I achieved 3 of them (5K PR of 25:17, ran 2 Half Marathons, enjoyed running). I did not run a sub 2:11 half marathon (one of my HMs was more of a training run and the other was too humid for me to finish at that pace) and now I did not hit the 1,000 mile mark.
So...I think I know what two of my goals for next year will be!
I am also thinking about trying to train and run with either my son (he's 6 years old but has shown interest in running) or my dad (he's a 62 year old smoker who is in decent shape by playing golf and tennis...I'm kinda thinking that perhaps having him start with running will help him quit the smoking habit) for a 5K. We'll see if I can convince either of them - or BOTH!

Happy New Year to you, Sherry, and the boys, Mike! May it be a blessed one. Hope you're feeling better soon as well. Tammy and I are getting over our colds now that we came down with on Christmas Eve. We slept most of Christmas Day. Nice.
Bummer on the cold! Rest up and feel better!
Hope you have a great New Year!
