I started the day off with a brisk run (faster than I thought I'd do it) in the annual Kirkland 12ks of Christmas run downtown.  This event did not happen last year due to snow and ice so we all missed a year. 

It is a good time, great distance (~7.5 miles), and nice part of the community here in Kirkland.  I ran it in 1:04:21 or 8:38 minute miles (here's the link to the full results). 

The rain mostly held off and I am looking forward to sore legs tomorrow as I have been off my usual running schedule due to work and waning motivation due to rain, cold, and darkness out here this time of year.
