RUN 4 miles in 38 mins, TGP loop
This was a fun run. I put on my Santa hat and took off out the door. It was also lonely, I saw only one other runner the entire time, but there was a peace and quiet that you don't often find running in town. Even though it was around 10am, there were few cars. No Metro bus, no commercial trucks. Just a calm, quiet run under constant gray skies.
It was also one of those runs that had me smiling most of the time. Everyone I did meet in the park was willing to smile back and say Merry Christmas. Many other days they just look at me and give a perfunctory, uncommitted answer. One thing I do like about the holidays is how 99% of the population (there's always a few bah-humbugs out there) has their mind dedicated to a common thought. Today it was Christmas morning, and most everyone realized it was special. So even though I don't know 99.9% of the people I'd meet on this run, most all of us shared this feeling.
Later in the day DH prepared a roasted chicken and some prime rib. For the first time, he cooked the liver from the little packet for me to try. It tasted about how I remember liver tasting. Good!
