Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I've taken a break lately. Work, holidays, cortisone shot and strep throat have had my focus elsewhere. It seems taking a week off really reset my system and I feel really good. Just need the motivation. I suppose that will come after the new year. I have deliberately not signed up for any races, or made a schedule because I really like not thinking about it. Still not sure what I will end up doing. There is something sort of alluring about taking on an easy year with only 1-2 races in sight and just having fun running. The only problem is that usually doesn't propel me to get out of bed in the mornings. This will pass, it's the cold.

5:30AM- Thank goodness for Scott W.'s encouragement as of late. He invited me out to run with his crew this morning to Ave Twin Peaks. I knew I needed to get out, but it was so cold!! It wasn't too bad once we got on the trail, but the first few minutes were frigid. I dressed very methodically to cover my bases but was missing was two key items- a head lamp and trail shoes. I borrowed some spikes that worked out great and leached light off of the others. The view was fantastic, and his buddies, Matt and Zac were great company. I was worried I'd be beat due to a very easy month, but I felt great. What a fun morning!

Tm and elipiglide. The running I did, felt hard because I broke a record last week running  a whopping 10 miles. At this rate, I risk getting injured, running almost a third of my weekly mileage in one day!!;)

Still indoors. The gross air is still here. Thankfully tomorrow's storm will chase it away.

90 mins of spin and elliptical at Gold's. Running on the TM sounds like a punishment these days.

Snowed in today! Kids are home and we have enjoyed each other's company over a hot cup of cocoa and blueberry muffins...and cookies:) I've thought about jumping on the TM, but it was just a thought.

6 miles on the TM, 7:15 AP. I wore my Kinvara's again and had no nerve pain, so looks like I'm clear from having to wear the "boats" any further.

10 mins on elliptical

2 mins planks

10 burpies

3 mins squats

6 miles on a warm morning with a group of ladies. I took a small detour at the end around the Bountiful Temple. Each of the homes surrounding the temple have large pictures dipicting the birth of the Savior. Beautiful art work and message. Merry Christmas!

I received some Nuun tablets from my brother-in-law (summertime) for Christmas and decided to try it out. I gagged for the first couple swigs. The "Tipple Berry" flavor was very soapy-with-a-hint-o -sunscreen-taste. I kept thinking, Okay Sheridan, you're gross. My toddler later came in the room and announced he squirted soap and other things into my water bottle so it would be clean water for me to drink. I poured out straight pink suds. Sheridan was right, It turns out Nuun is really good without soap!

9 miles on the TM @ 1%. Got bored, sped up after the first mile and threw in some change of pace 800's near the end to get it over with, 6:11/7:30. 7:07ap
