My last entry talked about the massage I won in a drawing from the Jingle Bell Run. Well, I'm happy to report I got my rub down a couple days ago and it was great. Turns out the masseur instructs massage at a local college, and he gave out 2 massages from the drawing. His rates are pretty reasonable, so I might be seeing him again. The only interesting thing I might add about the experience is that this was the first time I decided strip down butt ass naked (for a massage) mainly so that I could get some quality work done on my glutes.
Back to my running. I signed up for the local "Frosty 5k" on New Years Day, so my next blog entry will be the race report. However, my main focus has been increasing my mileage base so that I can have a quality month of marathon training for January. Here are my stats for the last 7 days:
| 12/18/2010 Weekly Mileage | ||
|---|---|---|
| Sat. | 17 | 8.5 min/mi on treadmill |
| Sun. | 0 | rest |
| Mon. | 10 | 7 - 1 mile intervals |
| Tue. | 11 | 8.4 min/mi |
| Wed. | 11 | 8.25 min/mi |
| Thur. | 4 | 8.4 min/mi |
| Fri. | 19 | 8 min/mi on treadmill |
| TOTAL | 73 | |
My final piece of running news: I'm looking forward to the next week. I'll be heading South to Houston for a few days, so I should get to run in some nice 70 degree weather.

| Merry Christmas from my family to yours. |

Awww, look at that beautiful family :).
You have some wicked high miles, wow, great job!!!! Also, I used a massage therapist once every few weeks when my mileage got really high like that and I swear it made a world of difference to keep me on the road healthy! So maybe you can swing a few here and there.
Have a nice time in Houston - and a VERY Merry Chrismtas and Happy New Year to you!!
hope you had a merry christmas and enjoy your vacation! i'll be at the frosty 5k, i think. not sure i'll run, but i'll likely be there. love the family picture, so precious.
