"Can't see the line, can ya, Russ?"

I watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation for the first time (this week) last night. I had to post something about it.

Merry Christmas!



On the running front, I can't say I've been putting in the miles. I did run on Saturday night after reading Doug's post. I took Parsenn out on a short jog (about a mile) and I loved it. It's crazy at the moment, with Christmas this weekend, commitments every night, and limited access to safe running conditions, considering the snow. I will be running 20 miles with my buddy Jon this weekend, however, so lets just hope I survive that. Then next weekend is my "27 on my 27th," so I guess I can call the last two weeks a taper? Generally, you have to be running hard before tapering, but as I said in a recent post...mundane details.

27 miles in this weather? Are you serious? Thaat's longer than a marathon. That's unbelievable. More power to you. Congrats on getting out there.

We watch Christmas Vacation every year around the 24th. Stupid, but hilarious. I find myself quoting it all year long.

27 miles counts as an ultra!
