Santa's bringing me a Garmin Forerunner 205, so I will just have to check it out (I can't seem ungrateful - after all, it is a gift!) Wink

Why wouldn't I run on Tuesday? To me it's just another day, and on that day the roads will be empty for some reason.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I am going to try to squeeze in a run sometime. I was thinking about leaving the families a little early so I can get a nice night run in.

Trying to get the inflamation in an osteo hip and si settled down so been doing my miles on x-country skis for this week. Hopefully will be out for a Long Ski on Christmas Day as it is just going to be me and dw here. Hope to start ramping it back up after New Years on the roads.

The whole world said I shoulda used red but it looked good to Charlene in John Deere Green!!

Oh yeah! I'll be running on Christmas. I'm so messed up...any time I get a day off all I can think is "Oh cool, I can get in a long run!"

oh, I will definitely be running on Christmas. I've only been home for about 4 hours, and the family time is already starting to get to me. Yep, i will be ready for a run on Christmas day. Might even try to add a mile. Or, you know, 5 miles. maybe 10. yep, a 10 mile run sounds good about now.

Somehow swinging a hammer from a ladder that's sitting on a lot of snow and ice just doesn't feel right.

You're just the kinda people us FF/EMS folks love Mikey. "So, how'd his coccyx end up in his throat?". "Well you see, the guy was hammering away at some ice dams from a ladder set on snow and ice when..." We always get at least one call in the fall for someone falling off a roof or ladder hanging lights too. Course I have no room to talk... several years ago we had so much snow, I was on our roof with a snow blower. Big grin

Well, your tempo run would be probably better than my race pace Mandy! Roll eyes

I'll be running from my home to my in-laws, where the Xmas party takes place this year (23 km). Then I'm afraid I'll get double as many calories as I burned in the way Wink

Targets 1) No injuries 2) Keep having fun 3) Some kind of PR
