I'm in a little hot water with my wife right now.  I forgot that it's Christmas break so I woke my son up for school.  Then when I went back in to check on him he was still snoozing away so I squirted him with my water bottle.  Not much.  Just a little.  You can't get a whole lot out of a water bottle nozzle.  But then he reminded me that there was no school.  I felt dumb and said, "Oh yeah."  Then he called me a name.  Really, son?  Did you really just call me that?  So he got some more squirting.  Now my wife's mad at me.

The run was good.  I went potty before, but had to go again after the first loop.  I took a hammer gel and did the second loop with a negative split of 10 seconds.  It was nice seeing the sun come up.

Temp - 51 - is it really Dec. 20th?

Time - 1:38:50 (avg. pace 8:59)

Splits - 8:58, 8:53, 8:59, 9:03, 9:08, 8:58, 9:03, 8:57, 9:02, 9:00, 8:50

We got some nice rain tonight.  So nice that I just had to go running in it.  My Ragnar captain and I ran my usual 5 loop.  It didn't take long for us to get soaked to the bone.  One guy called us crazy.  We are crazy.  Crazy for running.

Time - 50:29 (avg. pace 9:17)

Splits - 9:20, 9:09, 9:12, 9:18, 9:18, 4:14 for 0.44 (9:41 pace)
