I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos!   And I have the absolute best wife in the world.  And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

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!

No official run, but I did play 2 hrs of soccer. That's gotta count for something.
