1 hour on the elliptical trainer.

 Ready to come home for the holidays, I feel like I'm missing Christmas.

13.2 km in 60 minutes (8.2 miles) progressive run, I hope this treadmill is off and not the one at Life Time cause 6:30 pace seemed really hard.

16.1 km (10 miles) in 1:14:00. 7:24 avg pace.

I'm sure having to work a lot longer hours here than I was led on to believe.  I'm suppose to be on vacation this week, not working.

I've decided to try and run the Big Horn 50M this year, work and wife permitting.  It's in Britt's home town so that should be an easier sale.  I suspect I'm a better ultra runner than marathoner but I wont know that until I do one.   :)

10 miles in 1:11:45  7:10 avg pace.  Now I'm really sweaty, stuffy hotel gyms are the worst.

I calculated that I flew over 108,000 miles this year, that's 4 times around the earth and then a quick trip to Paris and back.

I'll run over 2,500 miles, that's a quick trip from Los Angeles to New York, I'm guessing that number could have been about 1,000 more if it weren't for that 3 months off for a pesky stress fracture.

Some days I can deal with pain better than others,  this morning I just couldn't muster up the strength to get through the first 10 minutes of agony so I went to the Arc trainer.  Stupid leg. 

1/2 way through I was messing with my iPhone and dropped it,  I jumped off the trainer without it stopping completely to pick up my iPhone and the peddles wacked me in my non-hurt side ankle, and it hurt like a ........  Now I have 2 bad legs, and no spares.

10 miles in 1:08:40  6:52 avg pace.   First sub 7 avg run I've done in a while, my leg felt pretty good this morning, even the one I wacked with the Arc peddle yesterday. 

Today is the last day of the conference, so ready to go home, not so ready to sit on a plane for 18 hours again.  Yuck!  Next year is looking even worse for travel. So far I have 3 trips to China, 1 trip to Brazil, 1 trip to Barcelona, and maybe Abu Dabi.  If I go there I'm so going to Ferrari World.

20 km (12.4 miles) in 1:29:05  7:11 avg pace.

Coming home today,  tomorrow for y'all who have been living in the past for the last 10 days.  So ready to be done and home, I wish I could close my eyes and click my heels together, but instead I have to sit on a plane watch 10 movies and eat really bad food.

Should be home in 22 hours 39 minutes from now.
