The ritual continues...Grace joined me for the 24 viewing, as she got hooked while watching last night.  I knew I should have sent her to bed.  Oh well.  At least now I have some treadmill company.  1 each @ 9:00, 8:30, 8:00 2 @ 7:00, 1 @ 7:30 and 1 @ 8:00.

Bang thump whir spinning along.  After I got done we watched Crazy Stupid Love.  They got one word right.

5 hrs x training, on the chainsaw with large pine and spruce trees.  Abs, back and arms are numb.  I'm mainlining motrin.  Centerville is in a mess, with hundreds of giant trees felled.  Thus the streak ends, interrupted by what can only be termed an Act of God.

I stayed home from work today to sort out my crashed computer and get ready for the hardwood installer.  Data is recovered, (and backed up) carpet is out & paint is drying.  My wife is awesome.  Plus I got lots of extra Jack time.  At 9:30 pm I remembered that running thing I do.

7 more.  Gotta hit 1900 for the year.  Why?

Out of the house for a few days while the finish de-gases.  2 mile warmup followed by 1@ 6:40 and 1 @ 9:00 x 3  with a 2 mile cooldown.  The game (Falcons/Jags) was a dud, and I could have used the distraction.  The third one felt hard.

BST to Freedom Hills, home on Main.  It was COLD.  I hoped to see something, but I didn't.  There was a bit of snow on most of the trail, but I had no falls.  I won't be returning to the trail till things melt or we get 6 inches or so.  I'm not loving the air.

8 miles, 63 minutes, treadmill in my own basement.  The fumes from finishing the floor have died down, so we reoccupied on Sunday.  It's hard to believe Christmas is creeping up this week.

8 more, just over 63 minutes.  I covered up the display on the TM so I could "zone out" better.  It seemed to help.  I started season 4 of "24" and there's trouble again, this time from Turkish extremists who have kidnapped the Secretary of Defense!!!  Kids are on break now, so I won't be getting any sleep for the next 2 weeks.  Fortunately, Jack is sleeping pretty solidly.

Fear Factor.  They ate bugs.  They hung off cars.  They crashed through balsa wood.  64 minutes.  It's almost time for some heavy duty Feliz Navidad action.

Round and round it goes--69 minutes.  I got to shop with the little ones today.  It's too bad the holiday concert season is over at least a week early.  I'd really like to hear a quality choir.

11+ but my garmin was dead, so I'm not sure.  BST, south, then north to Freedom Hills.  It was hazy (euphemism for smoggy) and cold.  I must return to work tomorrow, so it was nice to get a non-treadmill, midday run.

Sherlock Holmes and a little "24".  64 minutes.  I should get started on my tax returns.

Almost there...I got this run in the nick of time.  My wife is tired of me running almost every day.  Too bad the marathon cycle is just getting underway.  8:30 pace

10 p.m, 50 DEGREES!  I thought, "What kind of a person would I be if I didn't take advantage of this unbelievable weather and air quality?"  With Respighi and Lauridsen for accompaniment, I ran with the wind and moon.  Very glad I went, despite the late hour and welcoming fireplace @ home.

Awesome day at home with the family.  At 10:15, I hopped on the tm to run a 10k.  Slow and easy while watching Amazing Race with my son.  Happy new year, I hit 1900.  Chasing that number for the last few months has moved me from 3-4 days per week to 5-6 days per week.  3.5 months till Boston.  I need to look into travel arrangements before too much more time elapses.
