Running & Christmas

When is it time to dust off the ole' running shoes and hit the trails again? I'd like to start up now, with a nice 3x a week training plan. Logging a few months of 15-mile weeks would be an excellent base; I could then phase into an intense training plan in the spring. Sounds like an excellent "program," (quotes for Justin E.) eh?

Unfortuantely, I'm unable to start training until life settles down a bit and I can afford the time & energy with which to run. Realistically, I'll be able to start around January/February because I'll be able to utilize the locker room at my main office (I'm working offsite now). Training in the winter will allow me to entertain thoughts of running the Flying Pig in May (no Indy Mini for me this year).

My other thought today is on Christmas; my Mom asked me for my list already. I enjoy making Christmas lists because it lets me think of who I want to be and what movies/music/books I want to get into (I'm avoiding the somewhat trite discussion of the commercialization of Christmas here, so blah blah blah). This year, I am putting down a wood router (to continue my transformation into a wood hobbyist), the Godfather part I & II on VHS (because it seems so much better when the picture is a little fuzzy), and the Count of Monte Christo because I hear its a great book.
