AM- I decided to put Rob away for good on the yearly mileage total. It took 10 hours, but I figure a 48.5 mile boost to my total should put this out of reach for him.

That'll do, Donkey. That'll do.

Just kidding- I'm sick and didn't run.

Nice! I saw you bumped up on the mileage board. I thought you might be racing again.

A 10 hour, 48.5 mile training run? Wow, must be feeling better and having good weather (ours sucks for running!).

Merry Christmas!

Actually, Jeff, the high on Christmas is 75 deg. Although I'm not actually feeling better. I'm sick and haven't run since Monday. Don't tell anyone.
