And we're off . . .

. . . into the new decade. Happy New Year's!

My friend who is a coach asked me to to take out a less advanced group tomorrow morning, six miles. The coach's more advanced group is doing nine miles. This ought to be a good kick-start for me to get back into running.

I only ran three times in December, three miles with a fast group (9:30 miles which just about killed me, they did six miles, I did three), once with a friend on the C&O Canal for four leisurely miles which was just right, and once leading a holiday lights run around the District with a group from work. I hope my ankle holds up.

And Daniel W. Lamberton, I'm sorry that I missed you for lunch today. The meal was delicious. I ate enough for the both of us.

Our next opportunity to re-connect after seven years is the MLK holiday. On Martin Luther King holiday, Monday, January 18, 2010 at 12N, I'll be having lunch at Five Guys Burgers in greater Falls Church (Merrifield) at 2960 Gallows Road, Dan. That's right next to the Unique Thrift Superstore, a terrific store in its own write. Come join me, on me!

We'll catch-up (ketchup, get it?) over fatty hamburgers and fresh-cut french-fries, an artery clogging but oh-so-delicious meal! Hope to see you then! Love you, Dad.
