I wrote about my goals for 2023 but also am writing this post to talk about December.
December, the last month of 2023. What a month and what a year! I am currently on Winter Break. Two weeks off which I desperately need. I brought some work home and want to get it done this week so I don’t have to think about it next week. But, if I don’t get to it, then oh well.
Let me tell you about how December went for me:
Mileage: So far I’ve run 36.98 and walked 0 miles this month. I began training for the NYC Half Marathon. Again, I am following one of Hal Higdon’s plans and will be running 5 days a week.
Current Book: I love John Grisham and read “The Exchange.” I was looking forward to it and read it in 3 days. However, I didn’t care too much about it. While the story was interesting, I didn’t like the ending. I know that many times we don’t like the ending, but in this case, it left me confused and with many questions. Now I am reading “We Are Not Like Them”. So far so good. I want to finish it this week. That will leave me with reading 23 books this year (I am including one that I began reading on 12/30 but finished it in January).
2023 Running Goal: I said goodbye to my goal to run 800 miles. This year wasn’t my year for running. I did the best I could and am OK with it. As of this morning, I’ve run 493.97 miles this year. The good news is that that number is higher than last year.
Injuries: None.
Races: None.
Health: I am doing OK. Depending on how my day goes, I sleep well and on other days I don’t. I did feel very tired on Saturday and Sunday. I took a few naps while taking breaks from reading my book.
School: Winter Break!
The topic for next week: What’s your word for 2024? Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
A year of injury free running is awesome!
No one has time for injuries!
