The day after Christmas went out for a 14 mile trek from Andover to Wakefield. The falling snow and slushy roads made it a little more tricky than anticipated. Ran 15 miles Sunday Jan 2 consisting of 3 loops around the 5mile Spot Pond route. Again conditions were less than ideal as there was a lot of Fog, unshoveled paths, and a freshly poured concrete walkway (which Pam proceeded to run right in.) Being Italian and having your shoes covered in concrete usually ends with someone "sleeping with the fishes" but luckily, this ended with only some dirty shoes. Interspersed among the long runs were some shorty distances as well as some speed workouts. The longer distances are taking some toll as we've resorted to dueling ice bags on the knees as a precautionary post workout ritual.
Enjoyed the Holiday break greatly as this year we, literally, put "Christ" back into Christmas or more aptly Jimmy did. Jimmy has now developed a habit of when mad at somebody (usually Maggie but includes Nana and Papa who like to tease Jimmy) of inserting "Christ" after their name. So if mad at Maggie, Jimmy would say "NO stop it Maggie CHRIST" Not quite sure where that came from or how to stop it. Too bad he doesnt know anyone named Jesus.
