Morning yoga routine.

Schuylkill Center. Some woods that I remembered as nice are not so nice so need to rethink a few things on some of the courses.

Yoga/Pilates 5:00 [1]
Morning routine.
map hiking 1:15:00 [2]
Course setting at the Schuylkill Center. Absolutely gorgeous out. Lots of climb so working hard even though I wasn't running. I think I have a red course though. It won't be that long but will have lots of controls and will have lots of climb on some really steep slopes.
running 58:05 [3]
An afternoon run with Valerie in the Wissahickon before Christmas dinner with Roger and her family. Out and back on the drive plus the walk down and then back up the long way.

A new morning yoga routine that I'm hoping Sandy will inspire me to stick to.
trail 33:58 [3]
Short hill loop. Wore my O-shoes thinking the trails might be slippery; very glad I did.
First time under 34 for the loop I think, at least in recent months. Didn't feel particularly fast but was able to run the whole thing.

Note
Here's an approximation to the loop:

I'm going to call it 3 miles (it says 2.8, but the trail really wiggles a whole lot more than shown). The second major uphill is the toughest.

TNT - core workout with Sandy. Motivation has taken a nose dive. :(
Another excellent soup by Karl, this time cheddar cheese.

Note
So to make a short story long, I got summoned for jury duty in September and I asked for a deferral since it would impact my teaching schedule and I said I was free starting Dec. 19. So I was scheduled for tomorrow, Dec. 24. Philadelphia has a one-day/one-trial system so you're scheduled for one day and if you're put on a trial then you serve the duration of the trial and if you aren't put on a trial you're done for the year. So far I've never been put on a trial - I usually show up and sit in a huge waiting room with a couple of hundred other people and then eventually am dismissed. Once I was called to a panel of 40 of which they would eventually select a jury, but after waiting an hour or so we were sent back to the waiting area; apparently the defendant plea bargained. And then we were dismissed.
Anyway, I was getting things together to take with me tomorrow since normally you sit in an auditorium for about 6 or 7 hours before you're dismissed so it's a good idea to bring some reading material or work or something and I wondered if there was a dress code and I looked at the summons a little more closely and there was some fine print about calling the night before to see if there were any changes and lo and behold when I called I was told I did not have to report and I had satisfied my obligation for the year. Nice Christmas present!
