Quick Update
Time has slipped away tonight. It's amazing how much time doing a simple errand with my father can take up. Of course, he has no sense in the mall and needed some direction. Buying one gift took us much longer than needed, but it also involved me having to lie in order to get out of the house without suspicion.
It seemed to get significantly colder throughout the day today. Going out this morning it wasn't too bad, at lunch time it was a little bit brisk, but by tonight it had gotten to be downright cold. The group was a bit bigger tonight than it has been for the past few weeks. Somebody (not me) started us out pretty quickly on the way down to the river. The problem is once I get warmed up, that pace is easy and I'll start to get going. The loop was in much better condition than it was last week, in other words, not covered in ice. It turns out that I was running way too fast, I got back about five minutes faster than we have been averaging on this loop. I did a mile on the track when we got back-the first two laps with striders on the straightaways and very easy curves and the second two laps just jogging. That mile was just over 7 minutes, so the miles leading into it must have been pretty quick.
We didn't get any tree decorating done last night, so it needs to get started now. Since my brother isn't home, his special ornaments don't get the prime real estate that they always get. My special ornaments will get those spaces since they always get relegated by his.
