No, not really but I did run in shorts today!
Outside in Michigan on December 31st in shorts.....
Screw those Polar bears, I'm loving this stuff....... just kidding.
We have our New Year's Eve race today and I'm off to volunteer as a course marshal.
I love being a marshal at this race, I yell out fictitious times to the racers as they pass by.
Some people love it and then there are those that that offense to it, screw them!
Since everyone in Blogland is doing a year in review, I have to go back and see what happened in 2010 in my running life.
Nothing special for tonight and I hope to stay up until midnight, maybe I'll get in a nap.
Happy 2011..............
What the f*#k happened to me????
I'm sleeping in, eating and drinking anything placed in front of me.
I've been to the gym just once this week!
I'm not taking a shower unless absolutely necessary.......
All I need to do is start hoarding crap!
We're suppose to get a heatwave in the next few days, so I'm hoping for a run in shorts!!!!!
What challenges will we have for 2011?
We've done the 1,000 miles and don't forget the streaks..... What are you going to do?
How many days can I go without showering???????

I don't even know what day it is but I am eating and drinking non-stop!
I've probably gained 453 pounds. I should be in the gym but we have more holiday parties to attend.
The weather has been cold and windy without a glimpse of the sun, so running has really been fun!
We had a great Christmas and I actually didn't get any running related gifts.
With 2011 just around the corner, I need to take a look at my race calendar.
I'm thinking of attempting to streak again, that might be my 2011 goal.
I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday and received everything that you had on Santa's list.

1) Holiday shopping sucks! Why d I do this every year, waiting to the last minute? Oh well, who wouldn't want a red Snuggie?
2) Even with the crappy runs that I've been having, I am truly blessed to still be running. I didn't have an extended period of down time this year with an injury!
3) Some of my Team in Training participants are so enthused about running outside that we're planning an 'unofficial' training session for Sunday. Are these people great or what?
After today, I have the remainder of the year off from work until next year. Maybe I'll swing over to Hawaii and hang out with the Prez..........

Three crappy runs in a row? Okay, in my best Nancy Kerrigan voice, "why me?".......
Is December the 'crappy run' month?
Should I just shut it down and take it easy?
Twelve Lords a Leaping would even be tired by now!
Hey, I could say I'm going to start up again on January 1.........
When do you rejuvenate your batteries? Everyone but Marlene, who is non-stop!!!!

So you want to run a marathon????? Here are a few photos of friends of mine and the looks of joy on their faces.............. or not!!!!!!!
This Team in Training participant actually qualified for Boston with her completion time.
At least he wasn't looking down at his watch when his finish line photo was taken!!!!
But there are those moments when all of the hard work pays off and you can enjoy it with the ones you love.
So get out there and run...................

This ice and snow crap is getting 'OLD' already!
We had terrible running conditions for out Team in training group run. The path was a sheet of ice with footprints inserted. We actually took to the road at one point but the park police frown on that!
It must be a side effect of getting older but I don't remember being so concerned about slipping and falling when I was younger. Maybe it's that hip replacement thang when old people fall????
Needless to say, the group run was slower than any we've had so far this season. Did I mention 14º and wind???? It getting to look a lot like Christmas.
Sunday was a inaugural local 5k, which are always fun to be a part of. Sandy and I had preregistered and had bib numbers 41 & 43, which made me think this race is going to really be small. As it turns out, there were about 200 participants.
The course was a loop through a local park and golf course. This wouldn't be a bad course in the spring or fall but with the accumulated snow that we received it made for a lot of unstable running. I turned my ankles a few times and my knees took a beating, but I was having fun.
So now after icing my knees and watching some bad football on Sunday, my legs are trashed!
When did it get so hard????
Can someone remind me again why we love this sport?
