Wednesday, Dec. 19th: We are in the middle of finals at school and I have a lot of grading to do, but I obviously need to get some running done as well. It was a crisp, clear day; a great day for running! I did a 15K (9.3 miles) today around Fiesta Bay in record time. I ran a 15K earlier this year in 1:22:46 and I did today's run in 1:16:15! I was pretty excited to see how much I have improved!

Friday, Dec. 21st: Finals are over, so the kids are ecstatic! Now it is the teacher's time to be overwhelmed. Some simply do a scantron but I feel with my subject matters, I have to do some free response questions (FRQ's) as well to make sure they have full control of the material. This can take a little time to get graded! I ran Fiesta Bay again but I obviously was a little preoccupied with the grading that lied ahead as I made it last as long as I could!!!
Also, the world didn't end! Hope you didn't buy in to the hype! :)

I have a little video for you today to make sure you finish the year (or a long running goal!) STRONG! This is a favorite of mine that I show all my students/athletes at some point.

Here's to finishing your year with the Eye of the Tiger & to setting some great goals for 2013! I took 2 days off this week so I have some ground to make up between now & the 31st! Get it!
Total Miles: 2043.72 Pace Runner: 2054.30 - 10.58 miles (I have some make-up miles to get done & quickly! Only 10 days left!)
Love to both of my wonderful parents & to all of you who donated and encouraged me along the way! Keep me going for 10 more days! <3
