AM: 5.5 cold, slushy, snowy miles. FUN!

PM: 4.5 hard eliptical miles. I say hard because I was sweating a lot and breathing hard. Then I did about 50% of my normal weight routine because I haven't lifted for a couple weeks. Hopefully I won't be too wrecked tomorrow.

10.25 mile treadmill fartlek. Mix of easy running, moderate running, and pretty hard running. I guess that's a fartlek.

Interesting that Donald Trump is now mocking Hillary Clinton's bathroom habits. Making fun of a woman in that fashion is contrary to my raising. But there's absolutely nothing the man can say that is disqualifying to his rabid and worshipful supporters so I suppose we have to put up with hearing about it for the next several months.

I get a gold star for avoiding the treadmill this morning. Started out in super crappy conditions, horizontal blowing snow, lots of slush and ice - my fingers and toes hurt. 8:30 pace was all I could manage. The sun came out at the end and it was beautiful and I could see the steam rising from my clothes while I ran.

PM: 2.25 miles. Weights.

4.25 easy miles around the neighborhood. Cold. Maybe a beach run with Abby this evening?

PM: Just a mile jog on the beach and a short swim to de-stress from the drive from LA.

Pizza tonight at Sam's Giant Manhattan Pizza in Grover Beach Ca. We Murphy's always have pizza on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to the FRB.

6.5 miles up and down Pismo Beach and through the downtown a bit. No shirt to get a little Vitamin D boost. I got lots of weird looks from the locals because it's in the 50s and Californians dress like it's below zero when the temp drops below 60.

This was my 37th consecutive Christmas Run. Every one since 1979, and one of the best. You can see me running up the stairs from the beach to the Kon Tiki at the Alta Cross Country Instagram.

PM: 4 more beach miles. Much better tonight at low tide and firm beach sand.

AM: 8.5 miles on the nifty Woodway treadmill at the PBAC followed by a swim and hot tubbing. Walking over to the Splash Cafe now for the best clam chowder in the world.
