    P.S. Went indoor climbing with the kids! This time I just watched over them (their first time ever). They loved it and next time, I'm determined to try some myself. Thanks a lot for the idea, @martaindale ! :flowerforyou:

    So glad your kids tried it out!! I'm sure you will have fun if you give it a try next time. I went today and got a workout in. It really is so much fun!!

    @rheddmobile that sounds like a really fun little run! Or it should be - can't believe the lax organization of it. I wish they would do a race here under the lights on the lake display. They used to have a late night time people could run through (like 11 pm) right before it closed for the season but they stopped doing that. Great job on your 950 miles!

    @Elise4270, @Scott6255, @7lenny7, @katharmonic, @shanaber Thanks for the kind words! I highly doubt next year will see anything near that much mileage, as I won't be training for a February marathon!
    @Elise4270 No I won't be running today, but I will run once more on New Year's Eve. Today, after finishing off the laundry and making a loaf of banana nut and chocolate chip bread, I'm just going to sit on my petit derrière and play video games. :smile:
    @_nikkiwolf_ As good as a fish sandwich sounds, opting to run instead sounds much better!

    What video games? We have a ps4 that i bought before my son went to the army as a way to keep him out of trouble. It did not help. But I have it and am tempted to fire it up. Any game suggestions? I’m bad at all games.... and have simulation sickness, but have heard that I can take a Dramamine for that. :smile:

    I also have overripe bananas, if I drop mine by will you make me some nana bread too? :heart:

    @_nikkiwolf_ I like fish tacos. Not sure about a fish sandwich. Looks like a lovely day there, fish or no fish!

    @Elise4270 It's the Steam sale, so I bought Hitman 2...I like it because there's quite a few different ways to approach the same objective. I did also just finish The Room 3 (if you like puzzle games)...I played The Room and The Room 2 on my Android phone, so this was the first time I played this game on the PC, and I enjoyed it. We also have a PS4, but it's in constant use by one of my three boys playing anything from Fortnite to Gang Beasts to God of War.

    I love my bread maker; the banana nut chocolate chip loaf is super easy...just chuck everything in the pan, press a button, and walk away. Come back 1½ hours later to a home full of the aroma of freshly baked bread and a moist hot loaf with gooey chocolate bits inside. :love: :heart:

    Hmm. I’m trying to get on the ps4. I had to ask DD “how do I turn this on?”, now it’s gotta update. I’ll look at some of those games. I think i just wanna shoot stuff... not think too much.

    My IP will cook bread and that’s a tempting thought! Thanks!

    Maybe skip the games and go to the gun range? I find live fire much more satisfying than video games.

    Which makes me think... I wonder if there is a running biathlon like the skiing biathlon? I'd be right at home with that sport.

    Last time i shot i developed tendonitis in my wrist and i already have an appointment with the ear specialist in January. Dh just bought his first gun, he received a pardon. I don't even know what kind it is. I have some reservations about guns. Honestly, itd be too easy to use one... And ya just shoot targets. Theres no gore. I like the biathlon! I'd be down for that!
    Dh went for a run. Sure if i said lets go shoot hed go in a sec. So, maybe another time.
    Maybe i should take up hunting. Although, i seriously wonder about my mental health, eager to shoot something. I'm kinda odd, what if I'm off? Biathlon though! Awesome!

    @garygse hitman2 downloading. Working on nana bread. No chocolate here, so think I'll ad a bit of coco.

    @elise4270 - banana bread is so easy to make and so delicious out of the oven! Just sayin' :smile:

    Sounds like a great afternoon. What Video Games do you play? My friend just got me interested in Minecraft. I know I am a bit late to the party, but I am enjoying it so far.

    Just saw your next post about Steam. I too play a lot of games on Steam, and have started The Room but got side tracked with other games.

    Hmm. I replied but I see no reply. I did put it in the oven. The ip needs a pot in a pot thing. I gave up on the game. It’s hard. I get dizzy. What ever happened to asteroids? Or donkey Kong? Or rampage! I liked eating little people. I did like qbert too. I should be more productive and less wobbly.

    @sarahthes Here’s to an amazing 2019 for you. You got this.

    @AlphaHowls what happened to you in November? Were you ill? Why so low mileage?
