No running today.  Had some very sad news that a very dear friend who was recovering from an aortic valve replacement surgery from last week, quietly passed away in her home quite unexpectedly Saturday evening.  She was my age, very health conscious and a runner too.   Anyway Tracy and I spent time visiting her husband and his family much of the afternoon after church.  Nicely written memorial to her is here: http://www.lindsayslens.com/blog/wyndy

PM - had a nice run and chat with Riley as we ran in WV today.  Although I think the temps were similar to what they were in ATL, it was windy and gray outside and it felt significantly colder than at home.  But after we got a couple of miles into the run and were talking, I don't think we even thought about the cold after that.

AM - just about 6.5 miles with Riley on a rainy dreary Christmas Eve day.  Took her up Round Bottom Hill - looked around the cemetery at the top and the view of the Ohio River Valley.
