5-Mile Run

I did it -- treadmill style, but that's doesn't matter.  5 mile run was the goal.  Man, I'm glad to have that checked off just under the gun for the end of 2021.  My knee was fine -- only issue was a rub spot on my foot.  No blister though.  Recap of the 21 for 2021 list coming soon.  

Spent the day clearing off the dining room table which was a catch-all after the trip.  Opened a box of goodies from my bestie -- lots of fun stuff this year.  Iced coffee pot, handmade coasters, book, homemade chocolate, handmade soup bowl holders for hot bowls, dog toy and dog ornaments.  

And I READ -- 300 pages of reading.  The book is so good.  I love this trilogy and his storytelling.  You'd think it would be boring, but it's a page turner.  Have a few books to get through before the new ones arrive.  Time to get reading.  

I opened Jen Hatmaker's bookclub pick.  Group (Christie Tate).  I thought it was another similar book that I've read, but it's not.  I need to get this going for bookclub this month.

Today is a grocery store run for NYE.  That's all.  Workout, morning routine and reading.  Chill day ahead of a foster coming soon.

Did I mention I have a honker of a fever blister from eating like crap?  Too much of all the things.  It's really uncomfortable right now.  I also have a big old burn on my forearm from Christmas that's raw and open.  I keep hitting it on things because of where it is -- bandages make it feel worse.  I'm in a bit of a messy mess state.  

Cleaning up all the things ahead of January 1 -- me and my house.  I love a fresh start and the new year.  It's cliche, but I don't care.  I also need to write out the things that I loved about 2021 -- what I'm proud of, what made me happy, what I changed.  I did this the last 2 years and it's a nice focus before looking forward.

Have a good day and stay well.  Later gators.
