Early AM: Ran 6 with Kim. Temps were on the warmer side for Nov but the wind was ruthless, even down in the bottoms. Alot of weird stuff going on too, see Kim's blog for details.

Yesterday on fb Walter told me I should run my age in miles for my birthday. I'm afraid I didn't attempt that one but I notice I am at 46 miles for the week. But then the week is not over yet is it.

9:03/141

Late AM: 30 min XT at work, not too exciting. Seems the less I do XT the less I even want to do any XT. But my legs seem to be happier if I give them a little break from pounding every now and then.

Today I'm thankful for our oldest son Camron. He's really learned lately how to buckle down and work hard in school and other areas of his life. Quite a contrast to his 1st term of college when he nearly flunked out. Last night he won 2nd place in a business plan contest sponsored by the college business dept and won him some cash. Nice job Cam.
