Today's early morning trainer ride was optional, and I decided to stay in my warm bed. I like the prep portion of the year, if I don't feel like doing two-a-day's I don't have to.

My wife made cookies for the neighbors, and there were many left. I gave in last night and had several before going to bed (double whammy). Last night I slept well. I plan on having a heavy training week this week as we go on vacation to Mexico Saturday, so there will be little time for training next week.

Decided to try my long run on the treadmill. That was horrible. It seemed like so much longer than normal. I was planning on running for 2 hours, but I didn't know the gym closed tonight at 5PM for their Christmas party. So I only got in a little over an hour.
