I finally got back outside again. It was 36 with drizzle but felt great to get outside. Santa was good to me since my wife got me a Garmin watch. It was great to try it out as well. I found out my standard 8 mile run is 8.04 miles. Glad it is a little long since I would have felt like I was cheating if I had found out it was short. My hip felt better today but was probably good that I took a couple of days off. It swelled up pretty good and I have a dark bruise about the size of a football on my hip. It felt fine running and should be back to normal in a few days. The legs felt great today but I guess that shouldn't be a surprise since I have been resting so much. Looking forward to getting back on schedule though. Christmas was great for our family. I feel truly blessed with our family. I have a great wife and two great kids. We had a great time playing games watching movies and checking out our new stuff. It was also a great time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and we really enjoyed Christmas eve candle light communion service, reading the Christmas story together and each of us shared what we were going to give of our self to God during the next year. I hope everyone had a great Christmas! 1:04:28 (8:04 avg) |
