No running with me Santa?

The last Monday before Christmas. I ran on Sunday and felt good. I wanted to see if I’m ready to run two days in a row. This morning I had a goal of running a 5k but I got 5 miles in. Not too bad at all. It’ s going to be in the mid 50’s today. This morning at 5:30 it was 33 degrees for the third day of winter, yay!. I started off slow and steady. This time my first mile was at 10:29, which is good. Which means I’m getting better. I’m still feeling my body and knee out. I do realize I need to get on the food and nutrition kick. I felt tired and my energy is not where it should be.

As I’m running I was expecting to see Santa on the Salt mound of the Eastern Salt company but he wasn’t there. When I turned the corner, who do I see. Yup, Santa and the reindeer. I asked him if he wanted to run with me but he declined. The reindeer declined too. Well, I don’t have time for that. I asked. I kept it moving for my 5.03 a.m. monday run. I am taking note that it took me 1:02:45 secs to run 5 miles. My goal is to run 6.50 miles in 1 hour.

It will come, it will come. Santa missed out on the fun!
