thanksgiving

we had the meal at our house again this year. my mom joined us to celebrate and also helped out with the little man. we also got to skype for 1.5 hours with the danish contingent as well so that was really good. after cal's afternoon nap we noticed he wasn't acting like himself. a suspected ear infection was confirmed on friday and that combined with some teething was making him a surly little beast. did some shopping on friday also and must have hit a sweet spot because at no time was i annoyed with the crowds. we took advantage of the sales and upgraded some of our electronic media including a blu-ray player. man that is clear...almost too clear if that makes any sense. saturday we hit wollershime with mom before she headed home. sunday i was feeling pretty beat (cal hasn't been sleeping the best) but managed a trip to the dog park and also getting all the christmas decorations up (sans tree).

i also managed to run a couple times and felt really good. sensations like that always get me thinking about some sort of competitive goals but i think i need to keep that at bay and just work on building mileage for the sake of building fitness. between that and p90x i think i should reach february in pretty good shape. at that point i can sit down and figure out racing objectives that match where i'm at physically and motivationally (is that a word?).

speaking of the x, last night really worked us. we are coming off a rest week so i think it was a shock to the system. that and the 'chest, shoulders and triceps' dvd is an absolute killer (one armed push ups anyone?).

happy tuesday.
