Great Run!!!






 My planned 8 miler Saturday morning went relatively fast, not sure if I was really feeling that good or excited about getting back for the fun day of Grandaughter feastivities.  We had both over for the day and a sleep over. They helped decorate the tree, we watched the northern light show at beans (twice) bought them presents ......(yeah I know, too close to Christmas)  and played.

The 8 mile route I run, I call my money loop. It is the one I use when I trainned for most of my short to mid distance races. The run is a very good mixture of small hills, one long hill and light traffic flow and if need be, I can add in a very long steep hill that adds another mile.

I felt good and had no knee pain what so ever...yeah
