51F.  10 @ 7:26 AP.  Last mile around 6:15.  Got a pretty good tendon workout at Bandera yesterday hopping around on boulders for a few hours.  That's going to be a much different kind of race than Wild Hare...

AM:  48F.  8 @ 7:16 AP.  Last couple miles had some fierce fartleking, and I ended up splitting 6:22, 6:06 for those.  These old A5s feel more like socks than shoes though...they may be close to retirement, even though there are no (big) holes in them yet.

PM:  79F.  4 @ 7:30 AP.  Shirtless!  Worked on my tan for 30 minutes in the blistering December heat.

51F -> 61F/90%.  Warming pretty quickly, high is 80 again today.  Ran 3 loops (18-19? miles of trail) at Friedrich Wilderness park with a couple of guys from the trail running club.  Pretty steady effort on varying terrain, working pretty hard the last loop...around 2:50 total running time.  There are some good runners in the group.  Also a pretty cool place to run that I wouldn't have found otherwise.  Great morning!

Merry Christmas all

68F, 80%.  6 @ 8:23 AP.  Spent most of the morning putting together an elaborate art desk (lazy Santa) that pretty much made me want to cry when I saw all the pieces.  Got in lunch, a short run on some nicely beat-up legs and now must construct a basketball goal.  You should be able to sub-contract Santa's elves for this stuff.

73F, 90%.  7 @ 8:29 AP.  Typical June weather.  Thankfully the cold front blows in tomorrow.  Legs are still beat up - I was going to maybe mix some speed into my MLR tomorrow but might just jog it.

On a side note, I finally stepped on the scale a couple times this week.  It's not that I was avoiding it, we just had the bathroom remodeled and it is no longer sitting out in the open, so I don't think about it.  Anyway, I'm up about 7-8 lbs which is kind of a lot for me.  I saw it happening over the last ~3 months (extra fat roll, belt notch, etc) with the reduced mileage - not a huge deal but back to Summer of Joe levels.  It'll take me a long time to get rid of it since I won't eat right.  My weight loss plan is basically to cut back to 1 Coke a day and run more.  Maybe eat Chex Mix instead of Doritos...don't know if it's that extreme yet, but maybe soon.

Alright, time to make some huevos con chorizo!

PM:  3 mile hike at Government Canyon with Keira.
