This year we're spending Thanksgiving with the Mathews and Christmas with the Catchpoles, so we're hiding out in Portland and watching and helping with the preparation. There's not too much exciting to report because nobody has arrived yet.
I did manage to get up early enough this morning to go running. I estimated a two mile run on Google using the map measurement tool and then took off for a run. When I got to the end of my run, I knew something was up because my time was too good to be true. As soon as I had finished my cool down walk and stretching, I used the measurement tool again, but this time using more and more carefully placed waypoints. My run turned out to only be 1.8 miles. That was a little disappointing, but my time still looked good. A time of 15:19:43 meant that I had run approximately an 8.5 minute mile. So I'm still showing progress, and honestly, if I can just maintain 8.5 for an entire 10k, I'll be super happy.

That's awesome. Kudos to you for running out there in the frigid Portland air. ;)
