Blair - I hope you post temperature in Celsius! That is cold.
Flavio - that looks similar to a hot 5k I once ran. I was pretty good for 3k, then the wheels fell off.
Mark - start the 2018 thread.
Me - still very busy, a small amount of running. My knee is getting better.

Started vacation a couple of days ago & busy visiting my wife's family & old friends, but managed a very easy jog in Santiago this morning. Having to cross busy streets every quarter mile and dealing with the smog reminds me how lucky I am to have the park I usually run in at home. Heading to Patagonia Tuesday. Happy holidays to all. See you in the 2018 thread.
Sun - off
Mon - 11.4 miles moderate, felt good
Tues - 6.2, stopping every half-mile for exercises
