Running:
I've been able to keep up the running this week. It seems my usual these days is about 7.5 miles or somewhere right around 1 hour. I've been doing it on different routes to mix things up a bit. Tuesday my 7.5 mile run was around several loops because of road conditions. You can tell I didn't run over the two big hills I usually do because I ran it in 58:59 despite the conditions. Wednesday I ran my usual 7.5 mile single loop course. The roads were a bit better and the weather wasn't bad at all. I ran this one in 1:02:23. Today I was forced inside on the treadmill. I actually used the iPod today which I haven't done for a while. I ran the 7.5 miles in 1 hour. That leaves me about 43 miles short of 1900 for the year with a week to go. I finished up a few things at work and left for the day a bit early to get to church for the 4:00 services. We spent a good night with my brother Tad and wife Colleen celebrating first my youngest daughter Alia's birthday, and then sharing a few Christmas gifts.
Hunting:
Still haven't had opportunity to cut up the deer from last weekend yet. Being off the next couple days I should be able to finish it up. I got a call that my sausage from the last deer I got is finished. Yummm...
Fresh summer sausage from this place is great.
Gardening:
I guess this is the place to mention the weather. What a mess this storm is turning out to be. Several inches of snow, followed by freezing rain, then by just buckets of plain old rain. I have to get the roof raked off before it gets cold again. I can see ice dam's in my future if I don't get to it. The picture above was taken at the Rittenhouse the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Forget the guy in the picture, see how nice this tree is! Wow!
The tree in the picture is nice...no doubt about that....but guy in picture is nicest
