This weekend we headed up to see the loved ones we left behind in NY. We came up Friday evening with the goal of seeing my wife’s BFF (and our kitties that now live at their house.). The fun part of surprising people is when they aren’t home! We did however get to see our cats, and their kids! The babysitter (also a friend of ours) seemed to think it was funny, at least she did when she got over the shock of us “out-of-staters” walking through the front door! We had come, supposedly, for the Annual Penguin book sale, so we did head out there on Saturday after visiting people (and eating a cinnabon. Sooooo good, and luckily we haven’t found them in Maryland.). We stood in line in a cold drizzle and decided that this year it simply wasn’t worth it. This morning I did three miles in my parent’s treadmill. Booooring. Yet it was still a far better idea than running in the snow flurries! Its 20 degrees colder than Maryland was. I will say that it was awesome seeing the whole family, my brother and sister brought their families. Seeing my ten month old niece Micah Rose was awesome!
I run, because I am a runner. Having realized that I have always "been a runner" - even when I went years with out running, I am learning how it has integrated itself in all aspects of my life. When I started running in highschool, my perspective on life changed. Funny that I didn't realize how much it had affected it until just recently.
