Hi Folks,
Now that the refrigerator is cleaned out from Thanksgiving leftovers, it time to focus on the "C" word. Yes, Christmas is two weeks away. And do you know what comes after Christmas?
I don't know about you, but I'm getting cabin fever. For the last 10 days or so, da Mudda hasn't been cooperating in the precipitation category when it comes to running. I've only been able to run outside once, last Saturday (at 0 degrees wind chill factor). All the other days, it seems as if there's snow and ice, not very good conditions for running. Maybe we should do the reverse Indian rain dance. You know, something to stop the snow. On a lighter note…this is the time for cross training. So, the indoor treadmills and bikes, will get a workout over the next month or two.
As I mentioned last week, the annual Christmas party will be December 20th at Bruce and Dee’s home. I’ll send out directions later this week. I'm a pack-rat and I need to look in my email folders for them. But, we're planning on running from their home around the subdivisions. We'll then head back for some Christmas cheer (and carols?). I'll bring a CHIP approved chili. Please bring a dish to compliment the chili and your favorite beverage. Sweet desserts are always welcomed. Does anyone want to bring a non-CHIP approved chili?
If you want to share any ideas for a run, recovery, or race, pass them onto me. We can all us a different venue for running.
Thursday, 12.13.07, Meet at Old Chicago on East State Street . We’ll run a couple of laps around Midway Village . (Pray for dry pavement.) Recovery at Old Chicago . Meeting time is 6:00 pm.
Saturday, 12.15.07, Meet at Runners Image for a 9 mile run along the downtown bike path. Recovery at the Mary’s Market Edgebrook. Meeting time is 7:00 am. I know we did it last week, but with the paths being in such bad shape from the da Mudda, this will have to do.
Thursday, 12.20.07, Christmas party at Bruce and Dee's. Directions will come out later this week. Meeting time to run is 6:00 pm. Meeting time for the holiday festivities is 7:00.

Waddle On!
