| Short bike ride outdoors; very cold, but I have some spiffy new winter biking gear that makes it fun. It didn't rain much. I think I have seen the sun once for about two minutes since I got back from Maui. | |

| Had a nice run in whipping wind and hard rain this morning. I have no car today, so my run was to my Drs. office, the allergy Dr. for shots, and then home. All trail. Splits were 9:20, 8:27, 8:43, 8:27 (for a portion of a mile), stop at Drs., then 8:14, 9:05, 8:42, and 7:29 (for a portion of a mile). My sports medicine Dr. is now my coach (which is great, because this way coaching is covered by my insurance, I think). I've got three races coming up: a local 1/2 marathon on January 16, the Chuckanut 50K on March 20, and my marathon on June 6. In between, I'd like to run at least one more 1/2, and some shorter things, like 5Ks. |

| Went skiing today! It was very very cold but clear and sunny. What a treat! I wore a neoprene sleeve on the knee and it seemed to work pretty well; I didn't hike into the backcountry, but I definitely got off of the groomers and felt fine. Did five miles when I got home, in the dark. My headlamp went out on me mid run! What a great way to celebrate solstice. |

Day off running; knee was feeling stressed. Did a yoga class with my daughter instead. I'm not sure what I thought of the teacher. He kept saying things like "bring the outer part of your shoulder down and relax the inner edge of the shoulder". Just complicated stuff to figure out and too much talking about it. I guess I learn better by feel, not by so many words. We felt good afterward, but during class, I could tell that my daughter was spending just as much mental energy as I was trying to take in all the instructions! Followed class by a big breakfast and some coffee. We are planning a ski hike tomorrow for Christmas eve. Hike up on skins for 2-3 hours and ski back down to the car! Hopefully, the snow will be good where we are going. Haven't had much new snow, but it is certainly staying cold enough most of the time so its not melting! |

| Snow hike was wonderful! Took us 3 1/2 hours to skin up to about 5500 feet elevation. All for 20 minutes of skiing back down! This is called earning your turns, for you non-skiiers out there. It was a beautiful day, cold and clear; the snow quality was actually pretty good. Views from the top were spectacular, with sightings of the San Juan Islands to the West and straight across view of Mt. Baker to the East. Kind of like being on top of the world with skis on. |

| Rest day, lovely morning, and a cold walk down to the river with the family after breakfast. We built rock sculptures by the river until we were cold, and hiked home to the sauna. |
