Hangin' Loose

Rough night.  Had a hard time sleeping.  Not sure what it was really.  Probably was having ice cream before bed again.  Boy were those some weird dreams.  Well feeling better today.  And got up and did a run with Pete again.  I was happy to use my new tights again and they worked great.  Also wore my new Sugoi mittens.  OH YEAH!!!  I love those mittens.  It was like 18 degrees and my fingers felt wonderful the whole time.  Wasn't cold at all and there was a slight breeze.  We just chatted about our new years resolutions, the bball game,  and up and coming races.  Pace was a bit slow at times.  But we kicked it up for that last mile to finish strong.  No tummy issues which was nice for that last sprint.

Date night with the wife. We went and watched Sherlock Holmes.  We both enjoyed it.  A lot of action in it.  After that the wife crashed and went to bed.  And I stayed up a bit waiting for 9pm and to go play some hoop.  Played till 10:40 and then called it good.  Had a good time just didn't hit many shots if any.

Boy was it rough getting up to go run with Pete again.  Got to bed around 11pm and 4am came really fast.  Temps were said to be around 29 degrees outside.  And there was a breeze so perfect chance to try my new WRC wind breaker.  Was great and suprising we were faster overall then Mon run.  Even though it felt more like a recovery run with the last mile not as fast as we normally do.  Mostly just got lost in the conversation and lost track of the pace.:)

Brrrrr was only 5 degrees out there.  So wore some tights and running pants.  My gloves and mittens and headed out to run with Pete again.  My hands were only cold for the first mile and then heated up.  And I talked Pete into doing a tempo run around mile 2.  So kicked it up for mile 3-4 and recovery mile for the last one.  It was his first time of running a tempo run and did really well.  Had a great run and the cold really wasn't a issue.

Oh man.  No run today probably.  No Bball today.  I have to work some of the weekend.  And then pick up the girls and go sledding I guess.  I hope my team doesn't get killed to bad today.:)  Things are getting ugly at work with layoffs coming up agian in Feb.  They have already started bumping people around.  We lost one from our area already yesterday.  That they aren't replacing and I have 2 guys that could replaces me if they choose that option.  So we will see.  That just leaves one other guy still here.  That is going to be off on a medical leave on the 29th for shoulder surgery.  Oh boy the drama.:(
