I’ve been a slacker this week. After my 7-mile run on Sunday, I skipped my scheduled Tuesday run and didn’t do any cross-training on Wednesday. Yesterday the cold weather was not exactly inspiring, but I knew I needed to run! So I hit the treadmill. The dreaded treadmill. I won’t even bother to rehash how much I hate the treadmill — if you’ve read my blog for a while, you know.
I resolved to run for 3 miles at whatever pace felt comfortable, so I ended up at about 34:30 or an 11:30/mile average. Closer to 12:00 for the first mile, closer to 11:00 for the last. My legs felt pretty tight so I decided not to push it any more than that.
From there it was back home for a quick shower and off to my branch’s Christmas party. It was fun and funny as it usually is, though my gift got stolen — twice. I ended up with hot chocolate mix and pancake mix. Could’ve been worse.
I’ve got quite the weekend planned. I’m spending tonight at Gavin’s parents house (along with Gavin and Jen) so that I can go do tomorrow’s Run the Woodlands: Bloggers Edition 5K. It is going to be cold. Brrrr. Tomorrow night is the annual holiday boat parade down in Kemah, then on Sunday I’m shooting the Jingle Bell 5-Miler and playing soccer. Sometime between all that I’m attempting to turn the Air Babes/AE Female Mafia into a comic book page.
For those of you that know me, Becca, Karen and Jen — what should each of our powers be? I want something Batman-ish, i.e. no telepathy or anything like that. I want each of us to have some cool gadget, you know, that we could’ve used our mad engineering skills to have made…

How ’bout a jet pack? Can I have a jet pack?
(I still want wings and telepathy, but clearly you don’t want to allow that!)

And what about Jen O, she’s definitely an Air Babe too..

You’re right — Jen too.
