This morning was warm...54o with 98% humidity.  I had to take my sweatshirt off after a mile.  It will cool off after today, and be colder for the week-end.

3 miles today.  9:38, 8:30, 8:15 paces.  The congestion's back...it can't seem to make up it's mind if it's coming or going.  I feel like my energy level is fine, so I don't mind the congestion as much.

I'll be doing some bleachers after school.  I'll try for 2 miles.  My holiday to do list is growing, even though I'm crossing stuff off every day....    I'm sinking in the holiday spirit!

However, I did have a very special holiday miracle yesterday.  I went to the little post office in town after work, and expected to wait in line for a LONG time, since it was the busiest day of the year at the post office.  And, tender mercies, there was no one else there but me!  I went straight to the cashier.  It was beautiful!

2 miles on the bleachers/track after school.  I tried pushing and increasing my pace on the runs between bleachers.  It was 22 minutes of work, but it felt like more.

I love your post office miracle. That's fantastic.

And sinking in the holiday spirit. That's a good phrase.

I have a question. You say you're doing bleachers and you'll try for 2 miles. Do you run up and down the bleachers for 2 miles, or do you run the bleachers and run on the track some for a total of 2 miles? I'm really impressed that you run the bleachers. I don't think the tracks by me have bleachers. The high school just has a practice field and they play their games elsewhere. There are some stairs at the middle school track, though. I guess I could run stairs.

I LOVE Christmas Miracles!! Oh...and I think I've already 'drowned' in the spirit :)

Nice run and paces and good luck with the PM workout!
