Impressive any time … but in December even more!

Christmas was great — and it started with a run … for which I was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise near my finish.

Have not even heard of the Boston Marathon treadmill, so have not tried — but it sounds fun enough that even I might enjoy it!

I think the longest I’ve done on the treadmill is 14 or something like that (during the ice age of 2011) — or maybe it was during a Colts game that year figuring if I was going to be in front of the TV and I needed to run I might as well combine the two (despite the temptation, my hydration was NOT a beer).

Love the pics. Hope you all have a Happy New Year.

Hi Meghan- thanks! Yes it was awesome- and you are right about Glenn. He tells me running high mileage will make me faster, but he doesn’t realize I have little patience and think that means right now haha! Not sure it will be entertaining now that I’ve seen the video and would be bored with the commentary.

Hi Gracie! Thank you! It becomes so chaotic with the gifts sometimes and takes away from the whole meaning of the holiday really! All about practical too! Haha- 18 miles on the treadmill can be mundane- I was really breaking it up into 15 minute chunks in my head which really helped!

Thanks Laura! I feel ya on the treadmill- for some reason there are days when I prefer it even conditions outside are good. That’s not too often though! AND I’ve never done a 22 mile training run ever, let alone on the treadmill! I hope you had an awesome Christmas and had fun with your nephew!!

Hi! 55-60 is a lot of miles! Think you ramped it up too fast? I hope you are able to get out of the physical therapy office sooner than later! I’ve definitely had the mile 20 blow up on a few occasions, NOT FUN. I figured you would be of the less is more Christmas train. We for sure need to start a tradition like you do with Marshall starting this year. Should have done it this year too, but totally blew it off out of pure laziness. Merry Christmas- I hope you guys had a great day!

You are crazy-fast and I am not. After running a full last spring, I started training for a fall full and had a few 55-60 mile weeks. The entire training cycle I could tell something was off and getting steadily worse, and now I live at the physical therapy office (after blowing up at mile 20 in the full). After I get better, I vow to train smarter (and cross-train).

Also, we do less-is-more Christmas too. We start out doing Operation Christmas Child boxes (one for each kid to fill for another kid their age) in November to get the reminder of giving started.

I didn’t get my nephew much this year– white onesies, babywipes, and one toy. Things he needs and wants (He could entertain himself for hours with the crinkly packaging of baby wipes).

Awesome week of running- makes me even more eager to get back into training in another week or so. I have gone as long as 22 on the treadmill before. I don’t mind it, obviously wouldn’t want to do it all the time. Treadmill can be a great tool if you allow it to be!

I don’t have children of my own, but I am one of nine, and between those memories and experiencing holiday overload with my nephews I lean toward less-is-more. This Christmas I noticed that my nephews were thrilled with the first gift they opened – then lost interest as they continued opening gifts. Before long it degenerated into a paper-shredding mayhem.
I’m impressed that you did 18 on the ‘mill. I can’t do 18 minutes, and I mean it.
