A Day in the Life of the Freds -- Our Christmas Trees

Posted Nov 30 2010 12:00am

So now that Thanksgiving is over and we are headed full-steam ahead to Christmas and Karen and I are in taper mode what better time than now to get a Christmas tree for the house. We set out one afternoon and came back with two. They are named Fred and Fred Senior courtesy of Chico and Karen

So we cut Fred(s) down, put Fred(s) in tree stands and then decorated the Fred(s). Chico did his all on his own and well....it looks great. Happy Holidays Everybody.

Training - Today was a 30 minute run that included 4 x :90 pick-ups with 3 minute recovery. I started at a 9:40/mile pace for the first 12 minutes then the first pick-up was at 6:30/mile and so was the second. Recovery was back to 9:40/mile (almost felt like I was walking after the pick-up.) I then quickly realized that this is taper mode and not all out mode so slow it down. Next two pick-ups were at 7:30/mile (slower but still faster than the marathon pace needed for 3:29 -- I CLEARLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAPER) Finished up with a 3 minute run at 9:40/mile pace followed by an 3 minute walk at 18:00/mile. Done for the day.

Giveaway - Don't forget that I am running a giveaway for The Distance: A Triathlete's Journey . Entry rules are on the right hand side toolbar.
I will also be conducting a giveaway after the marathon on Monday December 6th of The Long Run by Matt Long and Charles Butler along with 17 Hours To Glory. Both great books and I will have rules for that giveaway on Monday and it will be a pay it forward type of giveaway.
