It felt good to run after snacking badly all day yesterday. Did I have a real meal at any point?  I guess the two croissants and two eggs in the morning counted as a meal.  After that, though, it was like a garbage truck had been backed up against my mouth to unload. I think there was some broccoli in there, but I'm not sure.  Overall though, we had a fun Christmas day with the baby as we made our rounds.

This morning I got out the door and ran into John Straley run commuting to work. It was great to see him. He's been injured since St. George and just getting back into it now. We ran together up through the avenues and chatted. I turned east and headed toward the hills.  I circumnavigated some tricky Federal Heights neighborhoods and snowfields finally to get over by the JCC.  From there, it was a snowy run over to Sunnyside and 900 So., back through the U to home.  Lots of snow and ice on the roads meant very little room to run next to the cars.

Looks like you are in pretty good shape still. Any races coming up in the near future for you? Hope you had a good Christmas!

Hey James, thanks for checkin in. I think I'll run a couple of the Striders races, depending on my schedule, which has been pretty unpredictable lately. I wanted to do Canyonlands Half, but I've got a wedding to go to in Palm Springs that weekend. How about you?
