I slept in today.  That was nice and necessary since I'll more than likely pull an all nighter.  Santa Claus is coming to town.  I finally went for a run at 10:30am.  It's noon now, and I still haven't had anything to eat.  That might have something to do with how crummy I felt on my run.  My shins were so tight and just wouldn't loosen up.  Also my diet in general hasn't been good.  The weather's not too bad.  Hard to believe I'm wearing shorts on Christmas Eve.  Anyway, I stretched out pretty good because I haven't been running since Saturday.  My knee felt okay, so off I went.  I got to the end of the street and turned the corner, and I saw Bruce RUN2DAY pulling out of his driveway.  I stopped and told him that it was me that came knocking last Friday evening.  I saw his wife peek out the blinds, but she wouldn't answer the door.  I thought maybe they had warrants out for their arrest.  So we started talking, and 30 minutes later I was running again.  Now my legs had tightened back up.  After a mile I stopped and stretched.  I also decided to slow it way down.  Then I stretched real good when I got home.

Splits - 8:27, 8:40, 8:59, 9:18, 9:29, 7:41 for 0.82 (9:22 pace)

Little known fact about Carolyn.  Did you know that back in the day she used to date Elton John?  It's true.  I found proof on the internet.  Pictures are worth 1000 words.  Don't worry Carolyn.  It was his next girlfriend that turned him gay.

I didn't know that about Carolyn! Thanks for sharing!

You are now on a streak of posting a picture of an FRB-er everyday of the week so far...

Hey flatlander. I just got caught up on your blog. I'm glad I read it like that. It made like a book. Good reading. I like how you compared yourself to Nephi. I also know that hills get bigger the older you get. Congratulations to your son on his wedding.

Nan - good one. Well, I don't get it, but I'm sure it's funny.

Thanks Kelli. I'm sure Santa will, because I don't want anything.

Sweet Carolyn, do-do-do, good times never seem so good. I'm glad you're a good sport.
