Running with Chuck and Christmas

I don't know if you are aware, but running with a dog may be one of the best ideas ever.  Especially if you're running with Christmas Chuck

Christmas Chuck

This is the second day in a row that I've gone running with him.  Yesterday, we went 6.5 miles and today we did 4.25.  He was exhausted yesterday when we came back from out run.  He looked like he had found the bottle of NyQuil and went to town.  Falling asleep wherever his butt happened to drag to the ground.  Much in the same way as me last night.

New update on the run situation, I went to get some OTC orthotic inserts and they're amazing.  I have not felt any issues with my ankle in the past three runs that I have done (Wed, Fri, and Sat).  I am slowly gaining confidence in my running and my ankle...it's a long road to IMWI '11.

I am very thankful for everything this Holiday season.  This year has been long, tough, but exciting.  Two wonderful work experiences in Warsaw, IN yet spending the majority of the year on the phone with my girlfriend, Anna.  Nevertheless, I am happy I was able to come home spend time with my family and that I will be spending NYE with mi Annita.  

My favorite gift I received today was the Saris Bones bike rack.  It fits three bikes, so I will be able to transport all my bikes from Warsaw to East Lansing without having to take them apart and shove them in my car.

Tomorrow I get to spend the day with Anna's family.  There will be 25-30 people...anxious much!?!?!

Oh well, Merry Christmas everyone!
