Had to work this Christmas and my grandpa just had heart surgery so I changed my overnight to a Salt Lake one and was able to meet Rob for a run in the snow and then head over to their house for a couple of hours.  One of the best Christmases away from home that I have had.  I was able to spend a good part of the evening with my grandpa too which was an unexpected blessing

Easy hour on the elliptical and 45 minutes of weights after getting rerouted to Puerto Vallarta today.  I was supposed to be home with the family for Christmas at noon today and had to go to Mexico instead.  What a mess..If I hadn't got a mini Christmas with the murphy's last night I would have missed the holiday altogether!

Nice run on the grass in Balboa Park, San Diego.  Heel and knee hurt like nuts the whole time.  Today Hobie Call posted his goals on FB for the next year:

4:34 mile with 40 lb. weight vest
5-k at 4:34 mile pace with 24 lb. weight vest
10-k at 4:34 mile pace with 16 lb. weight vest
1/2 marathon at 4:34 mile pace with 8 lb. weight vest
MARATHON 1:59:59


... 6 months to complete the mile, then 10 more months to work my way to the marathon. I'd be ready just in time for the Boston Marathon in 2014.

And I thought I had some crazy goals in the past!  I say go for it!

As hard as i could go on the Stairmaster for an hour.  420 floors.  Did intervals between level 14 and 10.  Could barely walk after this but the knee didn't hurt.
