Merry Christmas!!

I’m like the little kid in the Disney commercials…I’m too excited to sleep!  How is it December 25th already?  I woke up at 4:30 with my mind whirling of things I need to remember before we leave on Christmas holidays this morning.  I didn’t even bother trying to fall back asleep…so here I am blogging at 5 am.

I participated in the Secret Santa gift exchange hosted by Run With Jill.  My Secret Santa Andrea of Age Groups Rock sent me these awesome items:

Lip balm, a headband, an awesome ID holder that will be perfect for carrying with me on my bike rides and VerMints!  Thank you Andrea!!!

I played Secret Santa for Lindsey over at 2 Formerly Fat Chicks.  I really wanted to give Lindsey something to represent where I’m from so I sent her So, You Want to Be Canadian: All About the Most Fascinating People in the World and the Magical Place They Call Home, by Kerry Colburn.Lindsey, I’m just sorry that I wasn’t able to send you any moose stew to accompany the book!  And big congratulations on the amazing fitness journey you’ve been on.  Happy marathon training!

And with that, the Husband and I are off on holidays!  I’ve got the Disney half marathon coming up shortly.  9 miles was my last long run unfortunately.  Training got totally derailed in the last few weeks thanks to the crazy busyness of work right before the holidays.  This won’t be my fastest half marathon ever, but I’m at least better trained than I was for the Disney half this year.

Merry Christmas from Runner Leana and the Husband!
