Woke up to the face of the saddest puppy on the planet who only wanted to go for a run. So up I got and went for a run. We did the mid-loop which is about 5km. It was just above freezing, the sun was shining and a light layer of frost on the ground. All in All not a bad morning for running!

December 27, 2010 - 10km
The last time I was in Florida was when I started this insanity to run a marathon. And now with just two weeks left and over a hundred posts, I finally feel ready to do this. Here's hoping the weather cooperates as, although it's nicer than at home, it's still chilly. I ran 10km this morning. I took Darty out for 2.5km and then dropped him back at home (it was a small loop) and then headed back out and did the full loop all the way around my parents gated community. It actually felt weird not having hills. I didn't miss them, I just ended up running faster than normal and therefore felt it more in the end. My legs are sore now, a couple hours later.

Big houses followed by bigger houses. It's crazy here, but beautiful too! I met two french bulldogs who were about 6months old, sooooo cute. That was about it for other people. That's the one thing about running here, no cars and well, no people either. Some of the houses are still decked out in their Christmas best and are very impressive for sure. It started out quite cold and wished I had my gloves, but as the sun came out it got warmer for sure. Not warm enough to warrent taking my jacket off, but comfortable. The last two runs at Disney, both halves, were frigid and unseasonably cold. Much like this year is turning out to be, so fingers crossed for a colder run. Not sure I could run the 42.2km in 70 degrees. Much more walking for sure!
The Music: iPod all charged up and the first song spoke volumes:
Long Road to Ruin - Foo Fighters!!! made me smile
Crawling - Linkin Park
Alejandro - Lady GaGa
Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins
Halo/Walking on Sunshine - Glee
Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation
So Happy I Could Die - Lady GaGa
SOS - Rihanna
Defying Gravity - Glee
Misery Business - Paramore
Take a Look Around - Limp Bizkit
Ulysses - Franz Ferdinand
Drops of Jupiter - Train
Savior - Rise Against
Stronger - Britney Spears (I know but for running it's a good song)
Teeth - Lady GaGa
Entertainment - Rise Against
To Sir with Love - Glee
Meet Me on the Equinox - Death Cab for Cutie

December 25th, 2010 - Merry Christmas
What a better way to celebrate Christmas than with a 3km run???? I'll tell you, anything! Let's do a little math shall we, two days in a car plus christmas eve dinner with a little less than a bottle of red wine plus getting up to the wild and crazy that is Chrismas morning with two little girls plus greasy pizza for lunch then add in a 3km run in (not so use to) 70 degree weather equals a very slow, very clunkly, slighly nauseated run. Aw good times!

Well not alot because most are spending it indoors with family. Rob went to play golf with my father, so I went for this ever so graceful run :) The girls are enthralled with their new toys! I did see a couple kids out on their new toys, a little girl was out driving her mini vespa that was completely pink! I also saw an Osprey bird perched on a mailbox, took me a minute to realize it was real. Holy crap they are big birds.
I also ran on Weds of last week but forgot to post about it.
The Music:
iPod dead, so no music and oh how it would have helped!
Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have an awesome time with family and friends.!~
