Notes:

• We had temps in the 40s! In January! It was so nice to run without a zillion layers on!
• One neighbor (I just learned his name!) is super sweet to me and NOT CREEPY at all (I say this because a few are) and when Steven and I were walking on Friday we stopped to chat with him. He told us how he is always impressed to see me running and thinks of me as a running goddess. Aww, how sweet. That made me feel nice!
• I’ve been trying to be better about always sending Steven a run Glympse and bringing my pepper spray. So far, so good. Hopefully, I never have to use the spray! (But in case I do, I make sure to always know which direction the wind is blowing.)
• Ha, I tried to avoid the wind for most of my speedwork but ended up with a few repeats uphill in a soft shoulder! I think the wind would have been better, after all!
• Monthly recap! In December I ran 90.1 miles (17 runs), cycled 37 miles (3 indoor rides), and swam 0 yards. I did 1 speed sessions and 2 hill sessions. My coldest run was 23°F and my warmest was 43°F. I taught 6 strength classes, 4 fitness boxing classes, and did 1 one-on-one sessions.
• Yearly recap! In 2018, I ran 1,917.2 miles, cycled 1,016.73 miles, and swam 35,427 yards. I did 38 speed sessions and 23 hill sessions. My coldest run was 12°F and my warmest was 93°F. I taught 89 strength classes, 24 fitness boxing classes, and did 7 one-on-one sessions. You can see my race stats here.
