Post Christmas run this morning was just taking it easy. I ran 5.5 miles at about an 11:40 pace, so that includes some walking.

QOTD: Will you take it easy the rest of the month or push hard to finish the year strong?

I need to push hard. I need another 40 miles to reach my monthly goal for December. That won't be hard to get, but I will push it.

4 miles yesterday w/ DW, youngest DD and Tiny E; supposed to be close to 40 again here so will get out for a few miles some time today

qotd: not pushing hard (or soft), just steady- hit my goal of 2022 a couple of days ago, so no pressure 

Merry day after Christmas aka Boxing Day aka St. Stephens Day, depending on where you are.  We had a quiet day at home yesterday.  A little sad to miss the family Christmas shenanigans at my dad's house, but also glad to be home where (1) I was not spreading the bug around and (2) I was just a few steps away from my bed.

Taking easy walks now, will hold off on running until the chest crud and hacking are gone.  All Covid tests were negative so it's one of the other delightful upper respiratory bugs going around out there.  Haven't seen a doctor.  Don't see the point since I haven't had a fever for a few days and I'm feeling better day by day.  Would probably come back from the doctor with something worse... 

QOTD: Even limping in to the end of the year with easy walks, I'll hit 2200 miles for the year.  That's a good round number.  No heroics here.
