Back on the Wagon!

It had been almost a full 3 weeks since my last run and yesterday I broke the seal, running 4 miles in the snow. It was a beautiful, if not wet and cold run. T and I jogged down to the National Mall and stopped off at the Christmas tree, now lit, and saw the individual trees of each state and territory. Tourists, flustered by the snow, were few in number and made navigating our run even easier and. despite the darkness, the twinkling of the Christmas lights and boughs of holly on the threshold of the buildings was comforting in our wake. Today, despite being Sunday, is early morning yoga where I can get a good stretch in post-run. I can't wait for those winter running tights to come!! I ran in thermal underwear with sweatpants over them yesterday and felt like the Michelin man straight outta Ghostbusters. Off to switch the laundry.....and then "Om".....
