Sunday,12/5/10 to Saturday, 12/11/10

I ran 2 times this week, 11.7 miles.

Sun, 12/5: Rest day, of course.

I lazed around most of the day, watching it snow outside. I watched the Buffalo Bills knock Brett Favre out on the 3rd play and score a TD to go up 7-0 against the Minnesota Vikings. Good, right? Well, the Vikings went up 31-7 at half and won 38-14. CJ and I brushed off her car and went out around 6PM to Wegmans ... we needed food.

Mon, 12/6: Another rest day.

It continued a light snow most of the day. There are about 5 to 6 inches of snow on the ground now. Winter has really come to upstate NY with a vengance ever since December 1st!Tue, 12/7: Rest day.

I had a splitting headache when I came home from work so I bagged my usual run. I did make it down to Fleet Feet for Men's Night. There was beer, wings and shoe pong ... what more could you ask for? Oh, stuff to buy! Which I did.

Wed, 12/8: Rest day. Another splitting headache. CJ thinks that it may be from the diet cola that I drink for lunch. After a bit we caught up on a DVR of Castle. It was a pretty good episode.

Thu: 12/9: 6.6 miles, 54:53, 8:19 pace, 13F, night, calm, no stops, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for Out to the Zoo, 3 times around the pond

I was getting antsy after 5 days without a run. After work I headed out to the Seneca Park Zoo to be out of the traffic flow, ran 3 times around the pond and back. It was a sweet run, clear, calm as a bell, with a pretty crescent moon in the sky! Mmm, feel the endorphins!

CJ made a nice post-run dinner of salmon, rice, peas and a salad with mushrooms, cucumbers and tomatoes.

Fri, 12/10: 5.1 miles, 42:40, 8:22 pace, 34F, night, calm, no stops, no pain.

Garmin Connect Activity for FF Happy Hour run + 1 loop

I went down to Fleet Feet for the usual Happy Hour run. The run was strenuous due to the slush, especially once I got to Monroe Ave. I much preferred yesterday's run when it was 13F ... hard snow is easier to run on. Still, it was a nice run!

After a supply run to the local Wegmans, CJ and I had a rotisserie chicken, baked otato and salad for super. Later, we had cherry pie a la mode for dessert.

Sat, 12/11: Rest day.

After CJ got her nails done, we headed out to Newark to pick up my father's mail, then out to the Wayne County Nursing Home in Lyons to see my father. I was sorry that I hadn't see him in a month but CJ and I didn't want to give him the cold that we have both been fighting. We had a nice visit. Then we headed back to Newark to see my youngest son before heading back up to Rochester.

Later, we purchased our first Movie on Demand, Knight and Day. Then we watched the last half of It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. Yes, I shed a tear at the end like I always do.
