Ah the joy of family from all overing visiting yesterday... and the joy of them getting the heck out! Ha! 28 people in the house... okay it was fun and good to see everyone, but that was a lot of cooking even for me. 

Mom bought me some running shoes for Christmas. Nice thought, but she doesn't know much about them. It was cool, I was able to exchange them. 

Good run today, have to get my groove back soon!

Decent day to run. A bit icy though. The weather channel makes me laugh, I mean who says this stuff? Example - Yesterday 26 but feels like umm 26 they say. Okay I probably slightly under dressed but it was a good run. Today 27 but feels like 13 they say. So I add a shirt. I was way to warm. I think they pay a guy in a room to sit there and guess what the temperature 'feels' like and they go with that. Tried my one pair of gift shoes, not to bad, I will see how they feel after a 100 miles.

A little colder this morning (22) but not bad. Icy in spots which drives me nuts as it throws off my pace. I guess thats ok since my legs feel a little dead anyway. Getting close to the year end. Going to add my garmin miles pre-blog and see where I end up. I never had a year goal, but I think I may for 2011. 2011????? What happened to 1988. Too bad I didn't run back then. Sheesh.

Cold steady rain today - which means it is above freezing :) Although the rain did make it cold - but a good run either way!

Great run, how could it not be in this heat wave!

I was going to have a long run today, but my friends that live in Kenya are back in the states for 6 months or so and they just found out they had to move things today. So I was a good friend and helped them move this New Years Day and settled for a quick run instead. My legs felt very good and had some spring in them today.
