Today started with a run. Nat and I took a frigid run with temperatures at around 30 degrees Fahrenheit. We muscled through 2.2 miles at a (slow) mile pace of 8:51. For taking a break from running and starting back up in the conditions we did today, I'm by no means ashamed. Have to start back up somewhere right.

I then did some work for a bit and ate some lunch.

After lunch, I went to the bank to deposit a check and some cash. Been to the bank I think 3 times in the past month-ish. That's a first.

I went to the gym from there and had a real good lift. It was on the shorter side but that definitely wasn't a bad thing. Did all I needed to and then got out of there.

I hurried home to quick shower and then head to our high school journey group's annual Christmas time dinner catchup. Was a great time with the couple guys that could make it and of course Paul. Such a solid group that we had and have been able to continue on some as time has passed.

Went back home after and got going on games basically immediately. Brother, pops, momma, and I opened up Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails for the first time in 4 years. Was super fun. It was also super long, lasting almost 3 hours. I came in second place behind my brother. We'll get him next time hopefully.

Illinois basketball was on in the background and they fricking dominate #9 Oregon at their home. A super strong rode win for the Fighting Illini.

I then took Piper for our late night walk and it was real nice. Not too cold, a real nice mild with me being bundled up.
