Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.00	0.00	8.00

8 miles easy before work at 4:40am. Ran a four mile run out past PG rec center then turned around. Thought I would see a lot of action with it being black friday. But nope. However the cars I did see were speeding significantly. Weather cold but pleasant. I would need my gloves then take them off about four times. AP 7:58 for 8. After yesterdays race my left hip is tight and I felt like I was coming down with something but that went away during my run. My husband picked up a cold yesterday so I am sure from holiday festivities the viruses are having a hay day. Working right now. Waiting for four babies (two born so far) to come to me in the admit nursery. So LOVE my job :D. Ate two pieces of pie yesterday. Didn't go overboard by anymeans. YET my scale is still increasing. I think in the winter my body naturally puts on the weight no matter. I call it the hibernation principle. Wish I would hibernate but it takes a lot to for me NOT to run. Obviously since I have been a whiner with all my joint pains.

I weighed myself last week and it was so horrible I will not publicly confess the number, but regardless, I am well over my comfortable running weight. I am trying really hard to get it back together and get it off before the first of the year--hard to do with the holidays. I also agree that my body tries to hold weight in winte. Yuck!

Had my annual checkup last week and about fell off the scale. Yep, embarrassingly pudgy! :) With my 4'11" height, every little oz. of weight shows! Can I blame it on my body loves to hold onto the winter weight?!!! and not so much the pigging out?!!! :) :) :)

WAY to be so disciplined to get out in the early dark for an 8 miler before work, Julie!

I am with you on the weight gain April and Smooth. HIBERNATION principle at work for all of us ; D dang.
