Great run this morning.

I met Fritz and Jon Kotter at 8:30 at the Jordan River Parkway for a cold run along the trail. Ended up doing 16 miles in 1:53 with several miles near the end at about 6:30 pace which is pushing the limits of my "comfortable" conversation pace. Jon then asked if we wanted to "pick it up a bit". I was thinking we already had and said so - so they had mercy on me.

Went to Einstein Bagels after for breakfast and coffee to warm up. I'm really enjoying my Saturday morning runs with these young whipper snappers. 

Taking the kids to see "We Bought a Zoo" now. It's a family tradition to go to a movie on Christmas Eve. One way to get the kids out of the house and focused on something else.
