Met Justin and Molly at Jiffy Lube for a run in the wonderful RAIN. Headed over to Wirth, looped around and headed back in. Saw three does, one injured buck, and an owl.
I needed 1:44 today to make 365 hours for 2006. Had to work a little hard over the past few days to make it, but it was a fun week.

Ugh! Elm Creek at about 7:30. It was already slushy. Not bad until the high school teams started showing up. Conditions made it a tough effort. Skied about 8 k less than the last time I skied for two hours. Just glad to have that one done.

Wanted to get an early workout in on a day off. Planned to do the Ford/Franlin bridge loop, but just kept heading south when I got to Ford Ave. Down along Minnehaha Creek, then into the dog park. What a cool area. I have never been there before. Now I get why Pete runs there. I thought it would be swamped with dogs, but I only saw 3-4. Then back up along Minnehaha and home.
A few spots I could have used my Icebugs.

Jasper wanted to run with me after I got finished. A perfect warm down. He was rather ambitious and needed to be carried the last few blocks back toward home.

Ran at Wirth with Jesse. Would rather have been skiing there, but we did head over to check out the man-made loop. It would do, if you're REALLY desparate...oh wait we are.
Easy effort, and a lot of talking.

I have set a control picking course at Elm Creek. I have circled each corner of the man-made trail on the map. Each time I go by it tonight I will count it as a control.
That is twenty controls each lap. I am skiing classic tonight and plan to do at least 10 laps.
200 controls will put me well over 1000 for the year.

Elm Creek with Dave P. Conditions good for universal klister or grip tape that Dave used. Got a late start, so we couldn't ski longer. Pretty good effort. Always fun to classic. Fell once when I lost concentration and was looking at the moon.

Possible loggable activities.
Stretching--reaching for Lego pieces to build objects ordered by Jdawg.
Strength--Lifting hand to mouth: breakfast egg dish, assorted candy, cookies, etc. beverages, ham, more egg dish.
Cardio--Walking up the sledding hill at Como. Actually went from the top once, should have worn a helmet.
Jogging--Had to run back home from friends house. (1 block) Thought I had left the stove on.
Courage training--trying to take a nap on the floor while Jdawg was playing. (Even though he says I was, I was not snoring.)
Mental--Winning SOUNDLY at Scrabble.

In other words it was a great day. Add to that a drill bit set, a ski scraper, wind pants, and a gift card at the coffee shop--outstanding.
