On the road again...

I just returned from my trip to Texas to visit Bev’s family for the holidays. It was the first time we had all of Bev’s sisters, husbands and children all in one place. It was really fun to see them all together and having so much fun. We had a very nice Christmas lunch before some of the family had to leave to visit their other families. Later that night, we lit the Menorah for Hanukkah which was nice. Overall, it was a great visit.

I did get my runs in this week while on the road. There is a nice loop run I can do from my in-laws house. It is relatively flat. I was a little under the weather when I got to Mansfield as my long run on the 21st was in a light snow and only 17 degrees. My sinuses were draining and causing me to have trouble breathing. The good news is that after one 6 miler in the unseasonably warm weather in Texas, I was recovering nicely.

I will post another note later in the week with my running plans and goals for the New Year. I have noticed that no one has commented on any of my postings. Don’t be shy. Whether you like or dislike my rambling thoughts, your comments are welcome.
