Got in a short run in the morning.  My legs aren't quite springy.  

 Not used to the cold...

small goals are for this week

run consistantly - they don't have to be great or long but i need to get my butt out the door.  I'm not used to the cold weather and wind we are having so this will be a good goal. I can build from there.

ran a new-ish route again today.  felt good today.  I didn't take my watch.  Went further then I had planned, so that is good.  Cold again but not as windy today.  I guess I overdressed but I need to get a feel for this arctic weather

Nice running weather - got out for a nice 12.1 this morning.  Took it nice and easy.  Ran around looking for houses with Chrismas lights.  The wife and sis-in-law want to go out looking at lights tonight, so I was doing my homework.

well this is first week with the kids off from school.  I'm doing a work-cation.  I am doing 2-4 hrs a day from home, which is ok, but then I got to feeling really sucky in the afternoon.  I guess I got what my daughter had last week.  At least I didn't puke...

was going to run after my wife got home from work,. but I couldn't do it.  hopefully this is not a repeat of the sickly vacation last year...

blah

After fever all night, I felt ok today- enough to run at least.  Took the kids to the $2 movies today (Despicable Me --- loved it) and to the Korean/Chinese farmers market - the kids love it.  I bought cactus leaves and little Indian eggplant.  I can't wait to feel like eating again...my stomach is still not in the mood.  It is better than yesterday at least.

As for running, I went out after my wife got home from work.   It took it nice and slow.  It was a little slower than I thought but I had a fun time running streets I never go on, looking at the Christmas lights.

got to run after dark again - went out in search of good christmas lights again and found it pretty sparse.  Seems like people used to do more lights when I was a kid.

It is hard to run fast when you can't see the road or the sidewalk...

My kids both had a sleepover last night and I didn't need to get them until 10:30, so I got out this morning and enjoyed running in the daylight.
