50 miles yesterday.
It took 10 miles for my hands and feet to warm up - good to remember, because the ride was fine after that.
I live at the top of a hill - on cold days, it sucks because I'm not warmed up yet and I start by increasing the wind chill factor by 35mph or so - on days that are 30 degrees or below, that wind chill factor is brutal.
I got some compression pants for Christmas. Can't wear them until the foot doctor gives me the thumbs up to run again (well I suppose I could wear them around the house, but my daughters would not approve - not so sure about the wife ; )
So I call my brother - catch him and his family (2 sons under age of 5) on the car speaker phone on their way to the airport for a week in Mexico (they're livin' the life!). My nephews tell me about the dinosaurs and trucks they got from Santa, then ask me what I got....
'I got tights from Santa' - the line goes real quiet, so I follow up 'they are magic pants that make me run real fast' - now they get it - like a super hero - right ; )
Other than that, lots of normal Christmas stuff... wife has the flu... rescue niece and nephew from being stranded at Philly airport... way too much food, especially cookies, cake, chocolate... visit with family... start to think about next year...
I really have to get motivated on my race schedule. I'm looking for a good half IM.
