| AM - 3 miles in the town of Colchester - cold and windy. Evidently an historically ancient settlement - the first of the Romans in the English Isle according to the book in my hotel room. Bit of a gritty northern working class looking city, with a pleasant looking town center.

PM - 7 miles on the treadmill at the gym at lunchtime near my office. Cold and rainy this morning and I did not feel like going outside.
A year ago today I had a coronary artery stent procedure done to remediate a 90% blockage in my Left Anterior Descending artery. Could have easily resulted in a heart attack if it had gotten any more blocked without being diagnosed or corrected - but I was fortunate enough to have some anginal type symptoms that I noticed when I was running - and I was persistent with my doctors and they were thorough in their efforts despite the seemingly contraindications of any issues (40+ years of running, no family history, non-smoker, good diet and cholesterol labs) aside from those complaints.
Within 24 hours of the procedure I felt incredibly improved and was permitted and encouraged to resume my running within a week and was back to full training after 90 days.
I would have been happy just to be able to run - but instead I have had a great experience this year, almost turning back the clock 6 years to times that I was running in 2013 - and I feel great.
What a difference a year has made. Feeling very blessed.

| AM - about 3.5 miles with Riley on a snowy Christmas Day in Park City after opening presents and enjoying a hearty breakfast. Spent the afternoon skiing with the family and then had a lovely dinner prepared by my wife in our condo and then off to see a movie. A full day.

| AM - 5 frosty cold miles on some groomed trails across from the Canyons resort with Marcus and Riley. First experience with ice crystals forming on my eyelashes. Riley hair was frosted as was Marcus's beard. Enjoyed the run despite the chilly conditions.
