| Ended up having to work most of today. But finally got the manuscript revisions done... That took much longer than expected but mostly due to other items going on at the same time. Nice to have it out before Christmas though. Did get to go home a bit early and spend some time with the family but no running. |

| Sometimes I'm a loony. Up late prepping for Christmas and then I was like a little kid and woke up way too early. i had to take care of one item in lab so I ran to lab. It was amazing on the streets in the snow and no one around. I was back way before the rest of the family woke up and was able to get a fire going in the fireplace and breakfast started. It was a nice lazy day opening presents and playing with the girls and virtual Skype visits with family. In the afternoon we went sledding and had tons of fun! Merry Christmas! Avg. 8:47 HR 143

AM: Another very snowy run. It is crazy out there today. Did the commute run in early, hoping to leave a little early to get in another nice snow run. Mi 3 PM: Getting in the mileage. It was hard to believe that it was the same day. I did a Memory Grove loop with John and then solo run home. Avg. 8:35 HR 133
