Today is actually my Friday which makes me gloriously happy. I have been sleeping less and less every day this week and I’m hoping that since I have no work tomorrow and I’m practically done with all things Christmas (except for wrapping and baking, two very minor things…) that I’ll get a decent amount of sleep tonight. Besides, who can be anything but ecstatic when Christmas is right around the corner?

1. I got an email a few days ago from Killer Infographics with this gem comparing male & female runners… I thought some of the stats on it were pretty interesting and that it was a fun little graphic so I thought I’d share with you guys too

Running Music for a better running experience!

2. I ran a very reluctant 8 mile tempo run last night that ended up being fairly decent considering how tired I was – I was supposed to run 8 miles at an 8:40 pace and ended up running it at an 8:26 pace. I’ll take it! Also in running news, I am running 20 miles on Christmas Eve. This is going to be the most guilt free Christmas EVER!

3. I get to go have dinner and drinks with this lovely lady tonight and I could not be more excited. Candice, Sean and I spent a lot of time together in during our junior and senior year’s of college and despite the fact that we both live in Houston, I don’t get to see her nearly enough.  (this is a throwback pic to college days… I don’t change much)

Sean is so rude, ruining a perfectly good picture like that. 

If I’m not back between now and then – MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
