Got out late this morning for my run. Felt terrible was supposed to meet up with Riley, Ken, Jon and Bret early this morning but gotten woken up by a text from Riley. Slept straight through my alarm!

Today was cold with a nasty wind from the West. But great run for today.

Avg pace 6:51 min/miles

I'm sure the extra sleep was nice! Just so you know though it wasn't as cold or as windy early this morning...just saying.

Dude I feel terrible! Seriously with this new baby my sleep has gone to the crapper! So sorry man. I had every intention of being there I even had my running stuff laid out.

Haha no worries man. We may do an early morning Christmas run (like way early morning) next Tuesday if you're interested.
