12 mile run on the YMCA downhill slanted treadmill this morning before making my apparently famous omelets for the entire family.  Last night my wifes brother made a surprise visit.  They had told everyone that they were just going to stay home this Christmas but surprised everyone by driving 3 days all the way from Houston Texas to surprise everyone, so everyone is real excited, especially my kids cause now they have cousins to play with.

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!

Nice way to get out the Christmas Blah!  Too much Fudge and Prime Rib yesterday.  

The thermometer in the car said 1 this morning, I wasn't planning on running outside anyway but that helped me be happy I didn't.

12 miles in 1:20:50,  last mile in 5:50.  Followed by 30 minutes of weights.

 

The YMCA has a big hamster cage for kids to play in, we decided it would be good to the kids away from all their Christmas presents for a while and let them play in a real life environment.  There is a run/walking track at the Y that goes around the basketball courts and hamster cage so I decided to jog while they played.  21 laps = 1 mile :)  At first I was the only one on there and would switch directions every 21 laps but then lots of elderly men started walking the track and my switching directions was obviously very confusing for them.  Initially I was planning on running 8 miles but congestion made me cut it short.

126 laps, in about 45ish minutes.

Well, it looks like we are trapped in Wyoming. We were going to drive home today but got about 12" of snow last night and I don't want to make the trek across Wyoming in a blizzard. Pretty sure if I did my history that has been attempted and failed many times throughout history.

You know what's annoying? When you are on the treadmill minding your business, running a nice easy recovery run and someone jumps on the treadmill next to you and obviously starts racing. Maybe it's only annoying to someone like me with no self control, hence, 2 marathon paced miles at the end of my run.
