El Burro Blanco

6 miles in the morning.

6 miles in the afternoon.

It seemed to be extra chilly this morning on my run but it was still nice to get out.

I ran a fun route over into Santa Clara this afternoon.  It was a solid start to the week.

3 miles this afternoon by the high school.  I was extremely busy with a lot of different things going on at work.

I got off work early today because of the holidays so I came home and took a much needed nap.  I woke up and then ran from my house over to the Green Valley Loop and then came back on the same trail.  It was nice and relaxing and the weather was absolutely awesome.  It felt good to get a run in during the daylight.  Everything felt great on the run so I am very happy with that.

I woke up and ran from my house over to the Barrel Roll Trail.  Collins put on a little Turkey Trot race which brought out about 15 people.  Steve brought a clock and Kendra yelled "Go" so we took off for the run.  I chased Steve for the first little bit and then just relaxed the rest of the way.  James wasn't too far behind me but it was a lot of fun to do this.  I think he wants to do this as a tradition each year.  I met a few new people which was nice.  I ran home after the race and then made sure I was geared up and ready for Thanksgiving.

I have so many blessings in my life.  I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving.  Don't eat to much turkey!

I ran the same route as yesterday morning.  When I got to the Barrel  Roll trail though I went the opposite direction of the same way.  It is such a different trail just going the opposite direction.  It was once again a beautiful morning.  It was close to 60 degrees when I went out.  Everybody was shopping because of Black Friday so I had the entire trail to myself.  I didn't see anyone out there.  I would much rather be running than standing in long lines and spending money I actually don't have.

 Happy Holidays everyone :)

2 mile speed walk with my pregnant wife.  Nice pace for the entire walk :)

I ran my same route as I did on Thursday.  I didn't get out until the afternoon but it helped because it was much warmer.  The problem was that the wind was blowing pretty hard.  Lots of people range shooting and riding mountain bikes out on the trails.  I got some weird looks from people but oh well.  

Nice finish to the end of the week.  I am happy with the way things are going with the running lately.  Everything is slowly coming back to the regular routine.

On a different note, we went to the doctor this week and he said the baby could be here before January 13th.  Full term for Katey is on December 20th.  I guess I should hurry and get the baby room painted if she comes sooner than expected.  Yeah!  I can't wait to be a dad.
