I was planning on running in Elkhorn Saturday morning on a route I made on my Garmin Connect site, but decided to run from home instead. I made some steel cut oats with leftover pineapple from Thanksgiving for breakfast and it was yummy. :) I felt like I was running in place for the first half of my run; the wind didn't seem bad when I first stepped outside, but when I was trying to run against it I seemed to be standing still. I ran four miles out in the wind and turned around to do the four miles back home and it was much easier with a tailwind! My average pace doesn't show it being easier, but I felt it.
Speaking of average pace, I'm hoping that at some point I become a little more consistent with my splits. Yesterday's run differed in over a minute per mile pace. I feel like as I run more and more it will even out more (I hope!).

I forgot to take a picture before I ran and this isn't the best picture... but oh well. It was nice enough outside that I got by with just an Under Armour cold gear top and fleece, and a pair of Mizuno tights.
Today I put my Christmas tree up! I don't put a ton of decorations up, but I have a few. It calms me to look at the tree and lights, and I'm glad I got it up early.

I also met a friend at Panera for lunch and to help her study for a test. It is always nice to relax there and catch up.
I have eight days left on my Dietbet! I have two pounds to lose in order to win (my share of the "pot"). I'm not sure how close other people are to hitting their goal - it looks like a few people are pretty close. I think that website is a great motivator for people to stay on track with their weight and support each other. If this one goes well, I might set up another for the rest of December.
