Only 4 miles this morning since I like to run late on Christmas Eve. Not sleeping soundly at night with the puppy bothering me leaves me tired - but we are gradually training each other.

It was cold outside! My calves were still tight from running in my FiveFingers on Monday. Tried to speed up the last 2 miles, but instead working on 25 step striders again and again.

Christmas Gift Suggestions (Oren Arnold):

To your enemy, forgiveness
To an opponent, tolerance
To a friend, your heart
To a customer, service
To all, charity
To every child, a good example
To yourself, respect

Merry Christmas, Jon! Do you get to see your kids?

From jona on Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 14:15:17

Maurine, I do get to see them. Couple hours tonight, then a bunch tomorrow. This is my first Christmas, I'm hoping I can get one or two Dad traditions started.

Merry Christmas!

Jon - Good luck getting through the first Christmas. Mine was pretty hard - but I only had one child still living in Utah and the other had just moved to Italy.

As your kids get older a nice tradition is to all go skiing together on christmas day. I used to do that with my kids.

It was cold! Brave girl! A new puppy is like a new baby, huh? That is why I keep telling my kids no!

Have a great Christmas!
