What are you asking Santa for?

Sunday ~ Day # 210

This weekend was filled with a lot.
A lot of running in one place.
A lot of wind and blowing snow.
A lot of housework.
A lot of playing.
A lot of preparing.
But finally Sunday morning we did what we haven't been able to do very often lately, we took time to slow down.  After church we attended a lunch and we lingered.  We visited with friends and family.

We even had a visit from Santa!

The cousins enjoyed getting to play together.

S'ghetti girl thinks maybe she is too old to sit on Santa's nap. 
But not too old to share her wish list with him!

LBM wasn't into sitting on a guy's lap but did enjoy his present! 
And made sure to tell Santa a few things on his wish list.
Thanks Santa.
It wasn't the weekend that I thought I might have.  I had been hoping for a early anniversary gift from Hubbs.
The half marathon kind.
But I didn't hint quite hard enough.
And to be honest, I enjoyed the break
of simply running
and stopping when I wanted to.

With the holidays we all are doing more than our fair share of racing around so my next race for now will still be Seneca Greenway Trail 50k and the the Hat Run 50k both are in early March. 

On my Christmas list this year, a strong mind and tireless legs.

What are you asking Santa for?

    yay FOR A sANTA VISIT.

    I'm asking Santa for the strength to do what I NEED to do this year. I'd take a PR too if I can have two things. ;)

  4. 'Tis the season to be busy, fa la la la la....

    I'm asking Santa for a SURPRISE. I love love to be surprised and hate to know gifts in advance, even if it means I don't get what I secretly desire. If "Santa" DOES get exactly what I wish for without me asking ... well, there is nothing better. :)

    Hope you get what you are wishing for!

  9. Did you get a chance to sit on Santa's lap, ho, ho, ho? Did he wear running shoes? Do his reindeer tempo fly?
    Love your race sked.
    Would also love to hear more about how you train, how much long distance you put in, do you do speed work, intervals, etc.
    Inquiring minds want to know, hee, hee.
    Thanks and happy running!
