Respite

While physically I'm still at home, mentally I've gone here.

North of Spain, Summer 2005

I finished marking exams and posted grades for all of my classes last night.  The only things on my to do list today are a 6 mile run and drinking wine with some women this evening.  Maybe I'll read a magazine.  Maybe I'll paint my nails.  Maybe I'll take a nap.  I'll be doing some organizational work and cleaning here and there for the next few days, but I'm taking a break from any heavy mental lifting for the rest of the week.  Hopefully, I'll come back from my break renewed, recharged, and ready to write.

Christmas Cheer

I'll be taking the next week off from blogging here to celebrate the holidays with my family and friends. (Maybe I'll even be able to get a run in....)  I'll be back before the New Year to review what I accomplished this year and to discuss my goals for the upcoming year and my tentative race schedule for the spring.  

In the meantime, I wish you a safe and very happy holiday season!
