It’s always good to have a bit of a blogging break.  Sometimes you just need to get the creative juices flowing again.  Thank you to everyone who sent me messages of support and congratulations last month.  Going to Ireland was a great experience and has renewed my love for running and the reason why I do it and I’m reading to do more.

I keep an Excel spreadsheet of all my miles and it’s amazing that I have been doing this for 5 years now.  I haven’t been blogging that long – or at least I don’t thing so!  Reflecting, I have mixed feelings about the 5 years. I would have liked to be further along, but 11k plus miles is a lot of miles when you add in everyday life to the mix.  But no worries, it’s all good and it will get done.  The more I do this the more interesting I want to make the challenges.  Why just go through the hum drum of tracking regular mileage.  It’s almost like there needs to be a prize at the end.  Thus, races and rides right?

It was good to have an easy month in November, but now it’s time to gear up again.  The weather is nice in Phoenix….now.  So, time to dust of my trusty bike (which I didn’t get to ride much while training) and get moving.  I covered 15.74 miles in November and 4.95 miles for the first week of December for a total of 20.69.  Not much, but it was a much-needed break.   I have 6318.78 miles gratefully remaining.  Happy Miles to You!!
