You all know how I hate to brag… still, it`s Christmas, so I`m going to allow myself this one exception…
I ran five miles today. Yay! Christmas Day run done!
Perfect running weather. Temps just hovering at freezing point, which made the road a little hazardous in places but all that crisp air and silence-oh, boy the silence!-made for a perfectly relaxing run down by the river.
Experiments with my new iphone camera weren`t quite as successful as I`d hoped. Still, it was cool spotting this grey heron and running beneath these blue skies
And really, really cool getting home to this big bird….
… and for this, my most favourite dinner of the whole year…
Spot your red cabbage, Sharon?
I realise this mix isn’t to everybody`s taste. But I could eat it for two weeks straight. Which is just as well, because, with all that`s left over, it`s likely that we`ll get the next few dinners out of it!
Crash time, now. I`m glued to the sofa about to dig into some of my Christmas reads. I got two brilliant books to add to my stash this Christmas.
But more about them in another post. Hope you`re enjoying the down time, and the running time in your place!
