Wow! It's hard to believe another Christmas season is in the books. Sitting on the couch after our last holiday gathering on New Years Day I am ready to get back into my routine. Tomorrow starts a 12 week winter bike intensive training plan but before that starts here are my top 5 running events this holiday season along with some other highlights.
Number 5: Reindeer Ramble

Moving on to 2017.
First up is a 12 week cycling intensive training plan. I am not training for any specific triathlon but wanted to build an early cycling base for summer bike trips. The only race I have signed up for is the
Perfect 10 Miler in March.
Cheers to peace, joy and much love in 2017.
