Christmas training







Well, well, well. After starting Hal's program yesterday, I went ahead and began the Pfitz program today. I laid in bed an extra hour this morning saying to myself "I don't want to run seven miles today," but eventually I got up, got dressed, and did it. Ack! I just realized that I forgot the speed! I was supposed to run 7 w/ 10x100 m strides, but I was so caught up in wondering what a "general aerobic" run was supposed to be that I completely forgot. Oh, well, it was a good run anyway. The CW-X compression tights and the UA compression shirt felt great on my sore muscles.




My average pace was 9:51 and my average HR was 160. The chart is really beautiful. The elevation goes up and down, but the pace and HR stay very consistant.







Mile 3 was a water stop and Mile 6 was an ipod/water issue. Still, this is nice:



I hope everyone is having a nice Christmas. It looks like we are breaking the movie tradition. The boys have made their own plans with their friends which involve, what else, Chinese food and a movie. We're invited to spend Christmas with my brother-in-laws' family but my boys don't really want to go. Did we raise these guys right or what??? I admit, it is a little bit of an odd feeling to be the Jewish family at a Christmas celebration. We're not going to force the boys to go, though. They're right... it's not their relatives and it's not their holiday either. From their perspecive, it's a boring day with their parent's friends. Instead, they will be spending the day with kids their own age from BBYO which is a philanthropic/social group for Jewish teens.
Sarah and I will watch the final episode of last seasons' Ugly Betty.
