Run Club didn't run at all this month. I ran on my{insert sarcasm} favorite treadmill at the YMCA most of the month. And I took WAY too many days off and ate WAY too many cookies...I'm afeared to get on the scale that says I weigh WAY too much! Interesting note, my foot hurt worse during the times of non running that when I ran. If I ice & stretch it recovers quickly from the pounding. {I'm going with that as a great positive for now} My top distance is still 5 miles (last done 12/8...UGH) but my foot is no worse.
My favorite run was yesterday when Mike {training for his first full marathon} guilted me into running 3 EZ miles outside. It was right about 30 degrees with a light snow falling. A little breeze that got colder as we ran west, but was just fine when we turned around and headed east again. It was peaceful and beautiful and we ran SLOW {since it was an EZ run} without headphones so we could even chat a little bit. It was the best run in a few months.
Decembers's totals:

146 miles in my pretty white & blue Asics...which are amazingly still pretty white...{is that a positive for the treadmill?}

Time to start all over ~ at two big zeros tomorrow morning ~ If my foot continues to not worsen (I'd love to say improve, but am afraid that is not going to happen) I would love to run the Cleveland half this May. I will attempt to run as if training for that...and we'll see where it gets me. I really REALLY want to lose these 10 pounds around my middle & on my hips {& arms}, and running is my best shot at doing that {Since NOT EATING CRAP is not really going to happen!}
