Since the inversion is starting to build back up, I did a majority of my running workout on the treadmill. In order to get to a treadmill, I ran 1.9 miles over to the local Recreation Center (by the way, this run over was quite chilly). Since my right leg was sore (calf and IT band), I stuck to an easy pace. In fact, before this workout I made a personal rule that no matter how good I might be feeling after my legs loosened up, I was not going to push the speed above 7.7 miles per hour. I did not break this rule even though I was tempted several times to do so. While watching the first half of the Broncos-Eagles game (not a good first half for my Broncos, but even though it was a tough loss, they showed a lot of fight in the second half), I was able to get in 13.1 miles. Reminded about how bitterly cold it is outside, I finished up my running workout by jogging 1.9 miles back to home.

I was able to accomplish my non-running workout that consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups while watching the second half of the football game.

Good fight in the second half, yes, but not enough. I can't believe we let McNabb convert a 3rd-and-25 with his legs!

Jon, I also cannot believe that conversion on 3rd-and-25 which completely destroyed our momentum. It hurts even more considering we gave up a 2nd-and-forever against the Raiders off of a PI. However, the defense played extremely well in the second half against one of the best offenses. Anyways, I'm much more optimistic about our Broncos this year than in the last couple of years; that is, I just think if they make a couple of changes to the O-Line, they'll be at the top of the AFC; that is, bring in a few more Cladys and bring back Alex Gibbs (or hire a comparable O-Line coach).

I can't believe you let a team with a dog killer beat you.

Nice, Burt! Also, unless our Broncos get some help, make sure to let Jon and I know how it feels to watch your team play in a post-season game; that is, our Broncos have not been there for a few years. :-) Happy New Year!
