Yoga/Stretch workouts planned/completed: 5/4.
Non-workout days Planned/Taken: 9/11. Hopefully all this rest won't be too detrimental in January.
Half Marathons planned/completed: 0/0.
Highest Mileage Week: 26. Thanks to local running friends, I could tag along and get at least one good week (the last one) in this month.
Long Runs Planned/Ran: 4/2. Once again, thanks to running buddies, or I could have had zero for the month. The cold and dark make me want to curl up and go back to bed.
Spin Class Workouts Planned/Spun: 4/3.
Weight (Abs) Circuits: 5/4.
New 2 Me Cross Training: Totally Toned (circuit training class at the Y). My 12th new cross training of the year. I need to get back to it again.
Current Ache/Pain: My right Achilles/ankle is the pain of the month, still. I'm making sure to ice after each run. Overall, it feels better, but I think that's due to my reduced mileage.
Current Book (s): I'll be reading A is for Alibi by Grafton this weekend, since L recommended it.
Notorious Nineteen by Janet Evanovich was a fun, quick read over the holidays. I am a huge Ranger fan.
Current Wish List: Patience.
Anyone else miss 2012?
Current Drink: Water. Can I give up Diet Pepsi for the month?
Current Song (s): Catch My Breath - Kelly Clarkson
Current Gratitude: You hear me write about it all the time, but I am so thankful for my local running friends. This past month was tough and I needed the accountability. When you have someone to meet, you don't want to be the one to cancel.
Current Dislike (s): I miss 2012 already. There's a threat request that I limit my race travel to just five new states a year. I'm already signed up for six in 2013, and I'd really like to get at least one double in August or October. Time to work on my negotiating skills.

Current Goal: To run smart in January and acknowledge how much my training has dropped off.
Current Treat: No treats in January! However, A made the best caramel covered brownies from scratch for New Year's Eve.

Current Excitement: S and I are off to Mississippi tomorrow. I'm running the Mississippi Blues Half (state #18) on Saturday with Elizabeth. After the race, we head to Miami, where the Ducks should have been playing in the National Championship game.
Anyone else miss 2012?
