| Lunch- tried running on my knee, which I hadn't done in a few days due to pain. Made it 1 mile before I pulled the plug. One stinking mile. Going to see a sports med doc tomorrow. Self-diagnosis is torn meniscus, but we'll see what the expert says. It's funny- I broke my toe at home, and then injured my knee at Ikea. I don't get injured running, just the other areas of life. You would think mountain running would be more hazardous than shopping and walking at home. Nope.

| AM- only had a few minutes before going to the temple this morning and wanted to get some physical exercise, so tested out the knee with a short run in the rain. Ran 2 miles easy, then wanted to do a big quicker, so did a 6:40 and 6:25. Felt good to run a bit faster. Knee felt... ok. It better improve because, after 4 years, I finally was drawn in the Western States lottery. June 27, See you in Squaw.

| Had my MRI today. Results on Thurs.
PM- ran 6 before stopping due to knee pain, and did some xt. I've gained about 7 or 8 lbs that I'd like to take off.

| AM- I decided to mix it up a bit this morning by running 10 miles. It was 40 deg, rainy, and breezy. Felt good and ran a bit faster, 70 min or so.
Sadly, Pearl Izumi has decided to disband the Ultra Team, so I'm officially not sponsored anymore. Several of the runners (Dylan Bowman, Kaci Lickteig) have already been swept up into other teams.

| AM- Woke up after only 4 hrs of sleep for no apparent reason (only been averaging 5 hrs recently) and went for a pre-run dawn. Drizzly, foggy, cool. Didn't see a single person.
Today is the Allen Family Day of Service. Cookies to neighbors, donuts to the local firehouse, money to Salvation Army ringers, thank you cards to people, etc- should be fun.

| AM- just under 6 miles, most with my dad, who is in town for the holidays. In the afternoon, we went over near Great Smoky Mtn national park to ride the Polar Express train. The kids loved it.

| AM- 10 miles in the rain. Flood warning today, lots of rain. Downloaded the Serial podcast this week and am listening to it- pretty interesting. Glad I can listen one after another rather than waiting one week between episodes.
We are having the 4th annual Christmas Eve party at our house, where we mainly invite some friends who don't have family nearby. It's lots of fun, complete with way too much food and a snowball fight (paper fight) for the kids. Merry Christmas, everyone!

| PM- Lots of sickness in my family. All of us, basically, though I'm among the better off. Poor pregnant Marci and our 2 year old have it the worst. Plus we spent the day potty training our 3 year old, which actually went really well (he wanted Cars stickers rather than food as a reward). Did sneak out for 1 hour run, though. Also went to see the Hobbit. I've enjoyed all the LOTR movies and it's a bit sad to think this was the last one I'll ever see.
