First Post-Christmas Run
I hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas holiday! My company is closed this week so week are enjoying the time off.
This afternoon I headed out for a 14K/8.7M run, it was time to work off the Christmas stuffing. I started out slow, feeling kind of sluggish from all that I ate over the last couple days. But after a half hour I fell into a steady pace and made my way through the fields and forest. I pass a couple runners and some Nordic walker, I guess they were feeling the need for some movement too. We had some snow flurries today, but no accumulation. I had kind of hoped for a white Christmas, but that rarely happens where we live.
Anyway I finished my 14K run with an average pace of 5:32/K (8:54/M), quite a bit faster than I had anticipated, but very satisfying. Tomorrow we may head to the pool for some swimming, or if that falls through the maybe I will take a short run. Have a great week!

I was trying to figure out if your word "stuffing" was a verb or a noun. Either way, I need to work some of that off too. My schedule says today is rest day, but yesterday was rest because of the holiday (gym was closed). I feel so conflicted.
I have the week off as well and will hopefully catch up on my blog reading and posting.
I ate reasonably yesterday and I even ran for about 50 minutes. It was too nice out not too.
Great job on your run. Enjoy your time off.

You know, if you manage to get in a good run just after Christmas, it means you have managed to avoid the worst excesses.
Great run! We never have white Christmases either, in fact I don't think I've ever had a white Christmas. I'm catching up on my blog reading this morning and everyone has a post about sluggish, post-feast running! It's so funny and so universal!
