Opened presents, programmed Alli's and my mom's new phones, then threw on all my new running stuff (Garmin included) and dragged Alli on a run with me. Also we took the dog, which is my Christmas present to her because it's a downright pain in the butt. She got a new leash though, which lets her run like 20 feet ahead of me before she yanks me off my feet, so that was nice. We did a small 3 mile loop (it took years because the dog kept stopping and Alli wanted to go "really really slow"), then I dropped Alli and the dog off at the house and finished to 40 minutes. I set all kinds of new records on my watch, which is always nice, even when the original record is 0. And I really did go exactly 4.5 miles, which is good to know, because that's what I've been putting for all my 40 minute runs up to this point. Now I get to eat waffles and enjoy Christmas.
