    Officially Christmas now....

    Off the mark with my annual Mince pies!

    There are some with an almond-y frangipane top... Which I need to eat.
    Love almond/almond flavour!


    I need to see if I can find those here. Certainly some international shop should have them right? Maybe even Amazon??

    I got in a 3-mile run at lunch today. It was sunny and 43F but there was a cold wind blowing.

    Sorry about your fur baby @kgirlhart.
    @eleanorhawkins - hope your troubles have calmed down. I've done a 5K race that runs every hour on the hour for 10 hours but you are doing a longer distance. Are you planning to stop at 8 loops or go until you drop?
    @polskagirl01 - prayers that your travels have ironed themselves out and the family emergency is better.
    Glad you and Tippy made it to NC safely @quilteryoyo. Was the snow at Sam's Gap?
    Congrats on getting into the Berlin marathon @Laurz9191! You will do fabulous!
    I got a good laugh at your birthday math skills @Scott6255!
    Great running everyone! Love to hear about your training plans and progress!

    @martaindale that's a good endorsement for the Mach 5s. Three pair already? How many miles did you get out of them?

    My first pair is almost done and has a little over 300 miles on them. I can tell the cushion is wearing out but they still have some short runs left in them. That's pretty good for me.

    my heart was heavy today. We are taking our 16 year old miniature pinscher to the vet for the last time today.
    I am sending you all the warmth and compassion I have. What an auspicious act of love caring for this creature for 16 years.

    Thanks a lot Teresa. All fine. Apart from falling into a wound I managed to make yesterday with a cheese slicer. Don't ask. It will heal again.

    Hahaha! I basically slipped with a cheese slicer while removing the rind and cut into the palm of my hand right above the wrist yesterday. Today I fell and fell onto exactly the same spot. :D

    Thanks @tarun_yadavA . Great running. Enjoy your outing tonight.

    @polskagirl01 I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's sudden passing. Big hugs to you. I'm glad you made it in time for the end of the family viewing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    @yirara Great running, but so sorry you got tripped and fell. I'm glad you are okay. Gotta be careful of those cheese slicers too. :wink:
