Not a bad thing though to rest after the long run yesterday. Hope everyone traveling does so safely this week!

| Did not sleep well, up before alarm. Weather a little cooler but still nice. The crazy temps have messed up the frogs. It is nearly Christmas and the frogs were croaking away this morning. Mind may have been up but body obviously wasn't with this pace...

| Took the day off work. Slept in a little and then went for a run. Still made it home in time to make breakfast for the family. A good day overall.

| Merry Christmas. What a perfect day. Slept in, opened presents in front of the fire, played with toys until 12:30pm, then bike ride/run with the family before continuing on for some more mileage. Upper 40s, sunny, and calm.

| Just didn't feel like getting up this morning. The low 40s and rain was not calling to me. I hoped their would be a break but it rained the entire day and evening. So just did 5 on the treadmill.
