Total Distance
10.00

I had a change in family plans late last night so I needed to do my run early this morning.  I didn't sleep very well and was out the door by about 6:30am.  It was a nice 11 degrees when I started.  I ran over towards Hyde Park and back to the parents.  Spooked a few big deer out of the trees.  It was cool seeing them.  I got home and I had ice all over me.  My eyelashes and beautiful moustache were covered in ice.  Katey took a picture after I got home.  I need to get it posted.  Total of 10 miles for the day.  The rest of the day will be spent with family.  It will be a lot of fun.  It is always fun seeing the kids get really excited over the smallest things.  Note to self.  Don't buy expensive gifts.  Kids will like the box or wrapping paper much better.  Looking forward to running with Paul again tomorrow morning.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Boxing Day tomorrow!  Don't drink to much egg nog :)

Fortunately I had my fill of egg nog when the in-laws were in town last weekend. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Definitely true about kids and Christmas. For the first few years, my wife basically wraps diapers and such for the kids to open- they don't care!

Gotta love Cache Valley winter runnning... finish every run looking like a snowman with frozen eyelashes.
