Unfortunately, this morning's running statistics aren't as impressive as yesterday's. I was so pooped after staying up late last night watching Christmas DVD's that I needed to sleep in this morning and didn't leave on my run until after 7:30, and I only did 3.51 miles, burning a measly 495 calories and leaving myself up one pound since yesterday - and so the battle continues.
But at least we're catching up on the Christmas videos! Yesterday, almost one right after the other with hardly a break in between, Lynn and I made it through It's A Wonderful Life, The Polar Express, Beyond Christmas, and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.
Today, as I write this, it's a balmy 71 degrees here in Scottsdale, we've got all the windows open and any dreams of a white Christmas have been thoroughly fulfilled vicariously through our just-completed annual viewing of the greatest Christmas movie of all time, A Christmas Story. ("Vicariously" is the best possible way to experience snow).
If I can manage to keep my eyes open, later tonight we're going to watch the SECOND greatest Christmas movie of all time, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Of course, if I do make it all the way through the end, it might just take the sound of a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant to wake me up in time for my run tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!
