Day 126: Mon Dec 16th - Busy Day

One Hundred Twenty-six:  
Quick and easy morning.... busy day.

Christmas is coming too soon!  I'm sure that sentiment is shared by many people who are bustling around getting ready, baking, wrapping and a million other things while also trying to enjoy the holidays and focus on the beauty of the season.
Was a little stiff from my long run yesterday, so kept it short and sweet, taking it easy this morning.
Muscles were a little tight but otherwise felt good. 
Now back from errands I think I will throw on a holiday movie and start making my homemade mini-meatballs and other goodies to freeze.  I think I love cooking more than running! If only I had a magic fairy to clean my kitchen when I'm finished. I'm a messy cook!
Yum. 

Day 42: Mon Sept 23rd - Mama Day

*I better check my draft box when I think I've published a page... it appears that on a few occasions it didn't actually publish on that day.
Day Forty-two:
Had another light run today. My daughter ran with me on this 'surprise Monday'. Her and I had a "Mama day".  For explanation, this means that once or twice a school year I surprise one of them with a day home with me (on my day off). We spend the day together cooking and doing fun projects. After our little run we made chocolate chip pumpkin bread.  She did a great job! It was super good warm out of the oven with small amount of butter melting on top.  She is actually learning to cook with me as a part of a school learning project. We are making a recipe book with fun memories and photos, which she will then present to the class in a couple months.  So the 'day off' was educational and yummy too!
