Seeking a better country...

Finishing run.  I had 12 to go to make 2000 for the year, and wasn't going to let another arbitrary, meaningless running goal fall by the wayside, despite the flu on Sunday.  Jack Bauer joined me for all the miles, and they went by quickly.

No plans for 2013, other than considering the skyline trail marathon, and small 5ks.  I want to keep a nice 30mpw base for mental and physical fitness, but don't feel much of an itch to chase elite women lately. 

Good luck in 2013! 

TM with Jack Bauer and 2 of my kids.  The later you start your run the later you finish your run.

7 a.m.  TM 10k, 53 minutes.  Here comes the ox cart, oh how slow.

11 TM miles.  The football game got boring, so we switched over to 24.  I never got back to any of the games, which is an anomaly.  In the past I've been very fired up about wildcard weekend, watching all four games.   I guess my enthusiasm is only 12% of what it used to be.  My viewing partner is off to college, so that may be the missing ingredient.  Oh, thank goodness.  The blog helped me understand why it will feel like something is missing all week.
