Wow, what a day outside. Rare is the time that someone sees 60 degrees or better in December, at least in Maine. Though I have put in a lot of miles already this week I couldn't pass up this opportunity. The streets were still soaked from the morning's heavy rain but the sun broke out quick enough for the weather to be pleasant for the run.


I've now put on just under 30 miles for the week (starting Monday) and a touch under 40 for the last 7 days, pretty much on par with what I want. By Sunday I should have about 45 miles put away for the week. After that I'll need to decide how best to schedule running time since I'l be working at Bowdoin for the next 6 work days. Because of the long dance practices on the weekends, running long to make up miles isn't exactly the best thing, so I must try to divvy up the routes as efficiently as I can.


Christmas and The Nutcracker may be around the corner, but it sure doesn't feel like it outside today.
