Boise, ID Noon

This was going to be my only chance to get an afternoon run in this week so I took advantage of it. Nice to run in the 40s instead of the 20s.

It was cold this morning, but I kind of enjoyed the brisk weather this time. Not a very eventful run this time. It seems like I'm just running to run these days. Trying to get through the winter. There are a couple of races I'm thinking of entering next month. Maybe that will help me to be more motivated to pick up the pace and do more training instead fo just running.

The temperature was the same as yesterday and I wore pretty much the same thing but boy was I cold this morning. I tried listening to an island music playlist on my iPod. That didn't help. I just kind of made me pissed off. But, every mile will help offset the terrible things I'll be doing to my body tomorrow. So I keep running.

Seven miles burned me a few calories, but not even close to the number I'm pounding down today. Guess I'll run again tomorrow.

I didn't run yesterday. I was up late the night before and had the whole famn damily over and just wasn't able to get it done. The worst part about it was thinking about how I can get a run in all day and then finally giving up around 4pm. I would have rather just decided the night before and got it over with. But then I would have dealt with the guilt all day anyway. I guess I just can't win.

Today's run was pretty good. I'd planned on hoofing it one more time around the block to get up to 7 miles, but my little white porcelain friend was calling. So I dashed into the house and up the stairs without so much as a good morning to the various relatives that were hanging around in the kitchen.

After running we took the kids downtown to the Christmas Parade and froze my tail off. I ran wearing just two shirts and a pair of shorts and was just fine. Then I bundle up to go to the parade and shiver all morning. I couldn't wait for that thing to end. I haven't been that excited to see Santa since I was 8.
