I want to give a big shout-out to LA Fitness for keeping the Christmas spirit alive and well. After my calves rose up in revolt and the weather turned sour, I decided to go indoors and run on the treadmill to neatly avoid both hills (running downhill is a major cause of delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS) and wet, windy weather.
When I told the nice ladies at the desk that I was running for Team in Training to prepare for a half-marathon, they gave me a free guest pass good for the rest of my stay here. How wonderful is that?! They even offered me some Christmas cookies that another customer had brought in. (Gingerbread. Delicious!) My run was nothing to write home about, 2 miles in 22:07, but I got 'er done.
Of all the gifts to be opened up tomorrow morning, I am most excited about the Team in Training shirt I am giving my mom.
Sweet dreams, everyone, and merry Christmas to you and yours!
