Real good run - cool out today but not bad and we did have a blue and almost clear sky - Small group, Bert, Meri, Pat and Buddy. Bert and I ran together my left knee was hurting a little and it was really nice to run with Bert again - Bert, Meri and I ate together afterward it was nice - I have been very fortunate to met and become friends with a lot of runners over the last 18 months and a number of them have become close friends Bert and Meri are two of the of the one that I am closest with - what a great way to spend Christmas eve -

Washington Crossing Marathon
Good run but very very hard - there was only a marathon but I just ran a half - this was my first double and I finished it well but was very tired not real sore but a bit stiff today - it was very extremely dam cold - I could just not get any speed up - I was so cold even after running the first of three loops I was still cold - I believe that the cold sapped some of my energy not sure about this I guess I was slow just because I had run the day before but ti did not seem like the problem - it was a difficult route real hilly - it was also very pretty and a nice place - again Jon, Rob, Eric and Chad run Fulls - I just do not see how they do it - good job guys - this makes 12 halves this year - it should give me 4 moons but I am just not sure to Half Fanatics will count this even - it was a Fat-Ass run self supported but there were about 25 other runners - I was disappointed with my time but pleased I completed the event - the even took place is a state park where Washington cross the Delaware river during the Revolutionary War -
Fortitude for First Descents Half Marathon
Good race - this was a small but very well done event - it was put on to allow a 50 stater to complete here 50 states but attracted a lot of runner - the route was real nice I needed 2 lap to complete the half - it was pretty come but the volunteers were great and stayed at their post inspire of the cold - I ran too fast I was supposed to run a 16:30 pace to save energy for the half on Sunday but I was feeling so good and it was so nice out there - this was a one time event or I would recommend it to other runner - I was there with Jon, Rob, Eric and Chad - a good time -

Nice run with Emily and Meri - my first run on the new route - I not very fond of it but i will be OK with it - was a bit hard running the first time in the dark - the Christmas lights were nice - I did my best to keep up with Emily and Meri - I did but I think they were running slower - I do not think I should still be so slow - looking forward to the halts this weekend -
