AM McCall Rd 4 miles. Then went to see Frozen 2 with the whole family. After, played 2 hours of Ga Ga Ball. Tore the seat of my jeans wide open. Fortunately, someone had a pair of scrubs I could put on overtop.

Finished the year way under 1000 miles, and that includes my crosstraining and frisbee. Wow. Low.

AM 5 miles on GE trails. Nice to be on the dirt again. Saw deer and turkey from a distance, not sure how many. Then weights.

Real boring at work today. No projects to work on yet this year. My email inbox is almost empty- maybe I'll try to get it to 0 tomorrow.

Rainy, rainy day so no frisbee. Nothing much happening at work so working from home. 3 miles.

I'm retiring some of my older road shoes. They are all lower mileage than I normally retire shoes, but pretty old (first ran in them 24 months and 18 months ago). However, I have about 10 pairs of unused shoes in my closet from my Pearl Izumi days (2015). I might as well use them before they get hard from aging.

Went to the Columbia zoo with the family today. Got home and went straight to the gym. Watched the Bills-Texans playoff game from mid-third quarter. Hoped to do 7 or 8 miles (longest run in months). Game went to OT at 7.5 miles so I stopped there and watched the rest while lifting weights. Happy to see Texans win. More happy to see Patriots lose the next game. First run over an hour in a long time.
