I have taken a bit of a hiatus posting on our blog and I have to admit, this break mirrors the break I have taken working out. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I have done absolutely nothing – however, I have enjoyed a nice break in the past week and 1/2 and plan to continue the break through this week. You see, our team will start our “official” training plan on January 4th and it does entail 6 days per week. So… I figured what a better time to take a break than now, when I will eat more than ever, drink during the week, and most importantly of all – spend some absolutely wonderful times with my friends and family.
Christmas Eve was spent with Rob, Pam, Mike, and two of our other running friends. Great food, great company, and a really fun time playing “Catch phrase.” Christmas Day brought a 6.5 mile run with the running club followed by brunch hosted by one of the club members, presents with my kids and stepchildren, the movie “The Fighter” (highly recommended), wonderful dinner and more games. My cup runneth over!!
As I write this, having NOT gotten out of bed to run with the running club, I am getting more and more excited about our journey this upcoming year. I am grateful for the full life I have with the best friends and training partners a gal could ask for. And….. one of them happens to be my husband – bonus! To whoever is following our journey, may you be half as blessed as we are and a very Happy New Year!!
