TM with Jack Bauer and 2 of my kids.  The later you start your run the later you finish your run.

11 TM miles.  The football game got boring, so we switched over to 24.  I never got back to any of the games, which is an anomaly.  In the past I've been very fired up about wildcard weekend, watching all four games.   I guess my enthusiasm is only 12% of what it used to be.  My viewing partner is off to college, so that may be the missing ingredient.  Oh, thank goodness.  The blog helped me understand why it will feel like something is missing all week.

9 pm  TM 10k.  I was perusing the recent credit card statement, and noticed that amazon finally snuck Prime membership past my watchful eye.  I decided to keep it since the last three seasons of "24" are available.  With the NFL winding down, my TM viewing is now secure for another 58 hours.  That will get me through the winter, for sure.  Incidentally, I watched the Seahawks/Redskins game.  53 minutes for the whole thing, and man, Russell Wilson is a gamer.

7 am  Biggest Loser Progression run.  They seem to have the show back on track, which is great.  I love a show that provides family wide inspiration, and demonstrates how to work, change, show compassion, etc.

56 minutes, so better than usual as of late.

Another 53 minute TM 10k.  It got a bit snowy over the weekend, so I was pretty busy Thursday night through Saturday afternoon--67 driveways.  Yesterday I forsook TM running for a hike in the mountains.  3' of feather light powder made for some tough climbing.  It was a great way to spend a couple hours.

8 miles up and down PCH by Corona Del Mar and Newport beach.  I missed my route and didn't get down by the beach as much as I hoped.  Things are a lot smaller on Google maps than they are in real life.

44 laps on the short track atop the boat.  I never ran to the sound of barking sea lions until tonight.

A mile with my wife and a couple by myself until the boredom almost killed me and I jumped into the pacific ocean.  Instead I walked down the stairs for an ice cream cone.

Our trip, drive home, followed by sickness and nonstop snowstorms really cramped my running style this week.  Since Sunday afternoon I managed to do 60ish driveways.  

Today at work I was running back and forth between the laser room and R&D lab, and it felt so good to move my legs fast.  I knew it was going to be an evening for the TM and 24.  Nice and easy.
