So all in all, this holiday week was a lot of fun. \u00a0The promised snow storm never materialized, which was a bit of a bummer, but probably for the best, considering all of the people who had to travel.<\/p>\n

As always, we all went overboard with the gifting. \u00a0Adorably, my father themed my mother’s gifts towards her walking – the two of them walked three half marathons this year and are planning to go for runDisney’s Coast to Coast AND Dumbo Double Dare. \u00a0Dad’s significantly taller than Mom, so he strolls along while she power walks. \u00a0It’s kind of unfair, but definitely good for both of them.<\/p>\n

I got a lot of fun new gear. \u00a0I got a new Sparkle Skirt from my sister, a tri outfit (yikes!) and a jacket from my Mom and a new Garmin 610 from my Dad! \u00a0I had to promise him to not be upset if I didn’t use it for the marathon. \u00a0It looks cool, but I won’t have a chance to really get used to it before the race, and we all know the rules – nothing new on race day. \u00a0But! \u00a0As soon as I’m done with the race, I’ll start getting used to it. \u00a0I’m currently using the 305, and the 610 is much more streamlined. \u00a0And he got me one in pretty colors too. \u00a0I’ll have a review of it coming up in a couple of weeks, I’m sure.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we’ve also been sharing around some illness this holiday. \u00a0Mom’s had a sinus infection and Dad’s got a pretty bad virus. \u00a0As of this writing, I’m healthy so far, but figure that the odds are good I’ll get it too. \u00a0 I figure as long as I’m healthy for the race, that’s all that matters. \u00a0But I spent the weekend washing my hands as much as possible.<\/p>\n

It was great to see everyone. \u00a0My grandparents are in their late 80’s and early 90’s, and my aunt has terminal cancer, so the odds are good that this was our last Christmas all together. \u00a0I’m glad we made it a great one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
