More Holiday Fun

With two weeks of vacation and three separate visits with family to celebrate the holidays, things have been a bit chaotic, if fun, around Snowplug land. I think there's going to be a bit of adjustment heading into the week as we get back to reality! Aie... But before we do that, we'll revel in the fun a bit more :) We had a good second Christmas celebration with Irene, Dana, Meg, Chris and Gavin this weekend, and it is always great to see the kids together.

Reading us some new jokes

Rounded out the weekend with a morning run up through the Weldon Farm neighborhood, out along the Newburyport marsh and back through Fatherland today. A good 10 mile road loop. Legs felt a bit like cement - there just seems to be no speed there. I suppose this is normal after slow 100 mile training but I definitely want to figure out a way to work on turnover. It's not as obvious in trails but out on the roads it sure is! A bit windy on the return trip but a beautiful morning to be out and a good way to start the day. Saw many juncoes, three cardinals, a whole lot of sparrows and robins, and what I think was a broad winged hawk flying overhead. First 30 mile week in a long while.
