I have only run once outside in December. I sure wish I could do more outside, but we had a huge snowstorm last week and the sidewalks are not plowed and the roads are still no good. Plus we had freezing rain last night. I've been dealing with the treadmill, but sure would rather be outside! My next race is another 5k on New Years Day. I'm excited, but don't feel very prepared. I'm sure I'll be fine, but I've been training up to a 10k, so a lot of my runs are been start/stop/start/stop. Good distances and total times, but I'm not used to walking in between. lol
