Josh and I drove to Holladay for the mansion tour. The snow on the canal route slowed things down, but not too bad. We were running with Aimee and Johanna and they pushed the pace, as usual.

 Thanks to everyone that has commented and expressed concern about my little ab injury.  The bottom line is I have no idea what it is. And because I can run 6-8 miles on it without being in brutal pain, I haven't seen a doctor to get treated.  I realize that this not a smart strategy. But one can hope that these things will disappear on their own, right?  If I were training hard for something, I wouldn't waste any time getting into the doc.

 Work has been extremely busy and I have had very little blog time, so I apologize to all of my blogger friends that I haven't done a good job of checking in.  Hopefully I will find a bit more time in the next few weeks. Once I get healthy, I think my enthusiasm will return too. My motivation is in hibernation mode.

It's a good time of the year to hibernate...

Jon is right...Check out his volume of training and you will feel better about yourself. (no offense Jon)

None taken. I'm proud of my 1.42 miles/day average since Nov 16. It's just hard to come out of hibernation, that's all.

Chad, I'm there with you. I hope the holidays are bringing enthusiasm into your life from other means for the time being. Good luck and have a good New Year.
