AM: 13 miles this morning around the hospital loop and then to the south freeway overpass behind Tualatin HS, finally home via Boones Ferry.  Lots of hills today but that's a good thing.  I'm going to try and run doubles today and tomorrow so I can have some flexibility later this week when baby #2 joins the family.

PM: 9 miles to Tualatin HS with 3 of them on the track.  As I was running around the track, I passed two mothers with their sets of kids and following the large group was a goat.  Yup, a goat.  It was smallish, maybe 15-18 lbs, and clearly the family's pet.  And here's the best part of all; the group was walking and the goat decided to stop and sit at the 50 yard-line.  After he fell behind by 20 or so yards (and the mom/owner finally noticed), I could hear members of the group calling "Billy....Billy, come here Billy."  He ignored them so a kid walked back and attached a leash to the goat before they left the track for the night.

Strange.  I'm 100% certain I've never seen a goat....walking on a leash....at the local HS track.  One of the mothers and one of the kids had BYU shirts on, so that explains a lot....  I'll leave it at that!

AM: 10 rainy miles around Ryan's loop.  I didn't eat/drink enough after yesterday's miles so I was dragging towards the end of today's run.  After purchasing arm sleeves last year and not wearing them, I finally gave them a try today.  They felt pretty good but I'm not sure how much I'll use them.

PM: No run.  Bummer.  But I did have lunch at PF Changs and then I bought a new pillow so the afternoon wasn't all bad.

AM: 13 miles around Tigard HS and Home Depot.  Not much else to say...

PM: I didn't get a double in yesterday but today was better.  4 miles isn't great, but it's better than nothing.  Tomorrow's the big day!

Ryan's loop this morning.  I was cold as soon as I got out of bed so subsequently, I over-dressed.  The first mile was pleasant, but for the 9 miles after that I was HOT.  I would occasionally take off my gloves and beanie to cool down, only for my ears and fingers to go numb minutes (seconds?) later.  The joys of winter running.

Zero running today, but I did get a new son so the day was a success.

7 miles this afternoon.  I ran my hospital loop but with a slight variation; since we've been in the hospital the past few days, I started at the hospital and ran towards my house, then returned to the hospital.  I was a little under dressed but I survived!
