Day 214 (December 25)

7.5 miles

M<---6FT---->E R R Y C H R I S T M A S ! ! !

(the socially distanced version :))

Empty roads, empty trails, no rain, balmy 40 degrees, soulful music, run = PERFECTION!

I finally understand those “Running is Cheaper than Therapy” t-shirts. The difference in my mood before and after my run is so noticeable..

All these years when I’ve told myself I “need” a day or two off each week for recovery, it’s been nothing more than an excuse. I’m not saying a day off is bad, by any means. But if you really wanted to run every day (and don’t have some special circumstance that prevents it) you could. I am a perfect example of that - and I don't have any special talents.

Running (or doing anything) every day for a year would be an accomplishment to be proud of.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, I hope you have a good one!
