| Seriously awesome run along the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Had the hotel driver take me up the coast and drop me off 20 miles north of any hotels on the coastline. Could be the longest run on just sand I can remember. Only saw two other people the whole afternoon. I have all day tomorrow here too and I'm coming right back up. It's amazing what $10 US will get you here.
I finished an interesting book, not an easy read but a lot to think about; Indian Running. Written about the Tarahumara and a few other tribes some twenty years before Born To Run. Since reading it I've been thinking about his observation why was impossible for the indians to succeed in Western races. A run was like a banquet for them, often they would just walk away after a race. They got everything out of it they came for during the race. Some of the running I get a chance to do like today or some of the canyon running feel the same.

| 82 degrees today and hot sun. I'm averaging 8 min miles on the sand and it's kicking my butt. Pretty sore.

| 32 pilots called in sick for Christmas Eve this morning and since I was on my way home I got put back on duty. We had a good crew though and enjoyed the day. The kids were about crazy dizzy for Christmas when I finally picked them up at 7pm. |

| Day off with the kids. With most of my ten brothers and sisters married and popping out kids, my girls now have 57 cousins. Christmas dinner is an event. |

| Early morning at the gym. Ten mile tempo at 6 pace. Getting in the run before the day begins. With a day off and a million things to do, the best option I'm thinking is to ignore it all and head for the mountains. I've been eyeing the Wellsville Ridge North to South route the past week. I'd have to snow shoe it. The snow is too deep for packing skiis on my back and it's too steep for cross country skis. But Tony Grove got three feet of snow through the month and I'd love to ski up Naomi.
I'll call this old guy I know, name of Murphy, though and see if he wants to run this afternoon. Maybe I'll put in some miles with him.
Just finished two more of the original and only books on the inner Grand Canyon trails. "The Man Who Walked Through Time", and "Running Wild".
Rob didn't answer his phone so I headed up to Tony Grove trail and did a hard 12 on cross country skis.

| Nice evening run in Ft Lauderdale. Way sore today starting out, probably from the tempo run yesterday. Or the first day of cross country skiing this year. Whatever it was, I almost gave up on this run, but after ten miles it faded away.
Yesterday skiing across the base of Mt Elmer I caught up to two guys from the Utah Avalanche Center skinning up towards Tony Grove on split skis. Pretty awesome guys decked out in enough gear to cross Antarctica, airbags, beacons, shovels etc. One of them said they had noticed my tracks across the lake and wondered who was ambitious enough to be up there already. They were digging avalanche pits along the North slopes and showed me some pics of three slides already. I was struck again how almost every time I get out on some trip in the mountains I meet some of the coolest people.
