after running with my wife, i set out to run a few more miles. i felt good for the first few minutes, but then needed to slow down a bit. i stopped off at a friend's house to avoid a bear attack, then continued my journey. i planned to run five miles, but quit at 5K. i just couldn't go on. i'll rest up now before tonight's midnight run.

my wife wanted to run this morning, so i went out with her. after about a mile, we had to stop by the house so she could change clothes. she'd worn tights and a jacket and she was overheating. after the quick garment swap, we ran another mile or so. we walked some since she was feeling tired, but we made it to the end.

my brother is leaving to go back to colorado later today, so this morning we went out for a run together. it was beautiful out - 50 degrees with a light wind and lots of sunshine! we ran the same two-mile route i ran yesterday. it was fun! I pushed him a bit and he came in at a better pace than he usually does. wish he lived closer so we could do this more often.

i woke up refreshed this morning. vacation and time spent with family does wonders for the body and soul. i decided i'd go out for a run and burn some calories rather then take them in.
i felt good when i started out, so i pushed the pace a bit. i ran along school to main and then headed north past the hot and cold water towers to maple. on maple i ran past the church to terrace and turn south. i ran at a sub-7:00 pace for some of the home stretch and finished just around the corner from home.
i walked it on in, checked the trash to see if they'd picked it up yet, then stepped inside. the girls came home shortly after that, so there's no shower available. i guess i'll stink for a little while. no harm in that. i am a man!

my youngest daughter and her friend were bringing up the rear on the santa hat run and i ran with another runner and her dog back back to find them. we missed each other because they were cold and took a shorter route back. it was a nice cool down run for me and a better test of my foot since i ran faster for a little bit. toe still hurts, but i can manage.

18 people showed up to participate in this morning's santa hat run! my whole family ran! a few supporters and the local newspaper reporter showed up too!
i ran the whole route with my eldest daughter and ryan k. two other dailymilers also joined in the fun running behind us. we ran at a nice social pace, talking the whole way. our fingers nearly fell off in the cold, but our heads were nice and toasty in red and white faux fur!
i think everyone enjoyed the run and we'll have even more for the event next year! yippee!
