| Skiing with Jasper at Elm Creek. He was a little tired, so moved much slower than last time. Actually out for over an hour. |
| Classic Skiing 43:00 [3]11 km (3:55 / km) | |
| |
| One lap before Jasper woke up in the car. Then three more after he was done skiingplus 2 of the short loops. Conditions were very tough for classic. My hard wax was no good. I switched to Molly's skis that had grip tape and they worked until some fresh snow fell in the tracks, then there was no kick to be had there either. A fun day. |

| Vetting for Winter AR. I need to look up from the map more. Running along the trail I was nearly sideswiped by a deer that I scared. I never saw it until it bolted across the trail just a few feet in front of me. That would have been some headline..."Jogger with map killed by deer". It was a perfect day to be out. The rain had turned to huge flakes ofsnow, and the deer were really active. Had kind of thought about bagging the trip. Extremely glad I did not. Icebugs. |

| Fun night at Elm Creek with O crowd (except those off relaxing in warmer climes). Time and distance are complete guesses. I stopped my watch at one point and forgot to restart. Lost track of how many rotations I did on the treadmill.
I think the training groups need to get a grip and learn some trail manners. They need to realize that the world does not actually revolve around them. |

| Running 40:27 [2]4.5 mi (8:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Franklin/Lake loop right about dusk. Legs felt good even after effort from yesterday. About halfway through started feeling sick to my stomach and slowed way down. Just happy to be finished and I felt fine almost immediately. |
Sunday Dec 17 |
| Skate Skiing 1:47:00 [3]32 km (3:21 / km) | |
| |
| Went to Elm Creek with Dave. Always have to work to keep up with him. We went just before dark and there was hardly anyone there. There is still a lot of snow, but it is kind of sugary. Took a while to get my snow legs and by the end we were both skiing faster with less effort than the first few laps. |
