I woke up pretty early this morning and listened to a Rich Roll podcast interview with Ryan Holiday. Both of these gentleman are admired by lots of people who's opinions I respect whereas I've always been lukewarm on both so I tried to listen to the rambling, 2 hour conversation with an open mind. So, yeah, justed drank my coffee and listened to some stoic philosophy adapted to 21st century America for a while. There were a couple helpful nuggets.

Nobody in the house woke up on time so I went to 9 am church by myself. Lots of cute kids in the Christmas peogram today. Got home as the rest of the family was getting ready to go to the 11 am service. I ate a cliff bar and went to the gym.

AM: 10 miles on the treadmill. Generally kept it easy. Topped out at 7:20 pace for a while.

AM: After my morning coffee and a bowl of oatmeal, I walked to the gym in a roundabout way. Went through a rigourous routine of strength training exercises and then soaked in the hot tub for a spell. Then I walked home and cleaned the house.

AM: Today was my 40th consecutive Christmas day run dating back to 1979 when I was a freshman in high school. I believe I started it because back then I was always eager to try out my new running gear. Like my Sub-4 racing shorts and singlet or my Adidas Marathon '80 trainers.

I've had a lot of great ones over the years. Today's was just a 6.5 miler around greater Sugar House. Andy joined me for the first 2.5.

Heading to Florida by myself this afternoon to spend a few days with my mom and my sister and her family.

AM: Ran the Manatee River Run in Palmetto Fl. for the third time today. Fun course with lots of twists and turns, about half on road and half on shell paths. Warm and humid. I ran well all things considered in my first race longer than a 5k in a long time.
