Tons of snow up in Logan today.  I stayed on the elliptical today.  I did 1 hour and then mixed it up by alternating going forward for 5 minutes and then backwards for 5 minutes.  Worked up a good sweat and then did some stretching afterwards.

Another hour on the elliptical today.  Stretching followed afterwards.  Leg feels better.  Need to be patient.

I went to the Logan Rec. Center and did the elliptical and bike for about an hour.  I did some stretching afterwards.  I wanted to see how my leg felt so I hopped on the treadmill and did 1 mile.  I felt good but I didn't want to overdo it and do anything stupid.  That is a positive!

I did another hour on the elliptical this fine Christmas day in Logan.

Katey gave me the greatest gift any runner could have. She gave me the book titled "Again to Carthage" which is the sequel to Once a Runner by John L. Parker, Jr. I will read it quick and then it is available for anyone else to read. She also let me know that she paid for a brand new copy of "Once a Runner." It is being reprinted and is supposed to be out some time next March or April. I was so excited. I can't wait to read this new book.

Merry Christmas to everyone.  We have much to be grateful for this time of the year.

Nothing today.  Too many family activities to count.  I got some good shopping in and found some killer deals.
