Running streak continues, a fun 5k with family and friends

As my running streak continues, the hardest part now is paying attention to any sore muscles and trying to make the best decision about how many miles to run each day.  To keep the streak going, I need to run at least 1 mile a day and my weekly goal is 15-20.  Usually I have a longer run on Saturday, this week I did a 5k with family and friends so it was only 3 miles.  Total ended up being pretty close to my goal so that worked out ok.
The 5k was a holiday themed run.  Had a good time doing it and met up with some others that I have run with at times.
Got a holiday themed medal and everyone could choose a hat.



So this week I will be running at long run pace most of the time to give myself  rest after trying to break my mile time (which I did) and then running daily.  I think it's wise to do a few speedwork routines when I feel more rested, but for now maybe hold off on doing that for the time being.

This time of year I keep seeing discounts on races and I've been taking advantage of that.  Just need to be careful that the calendar doesn't fill up too much as that can get to be a problem.
