Falling Behind!

Here we are so close to the end of Holidailies, which runs through January 6, and we're falling behind! We owe our faithful reader(s) a post from yesterday AND today. Yikes! We're definitely going to follow through and finish strong, we might just bend the rules a little bit and post the requisite number of posts, just not on every day of the project.

As I've mentioned before, I'm training for a half-marathon, so this morning I ran 13 miles (nearly the distance of the race). It was a bit miserable weatherwise (it was so hot and humid (76 degrees on January 3!) and cedar season has started, which means I have itchy eyes and ears and plenty of sneezes). It was a pretty good run, though, and I saw plenty of interesting things on the run. The most notable thing was a pair of chickens in an urban, residential neighborhood, just strolling along the side of the road. There was a reddish brown hen and a pretty black rooster with a glorious fan of tail feathers. Strange and weird and yet not completely out of place for this great town we live in.There were also a lot of people out running, some obviously training for the marathon, others out for walks or jogs or bike rides, enjoying the spring-like weather.

In these final few days of Holidailies, you can look forward to posts that include New Year's recipes and photos as well as a meaty restaurant review. And whatever else we can think of.

76? I couldn't be more jealous! It's only 31 here.
