After Turbo

Can you see the high?

And... I ran last night as well

Two miles!

Dressed in my New Year's finery, but that was my one regret from last year, that I hadn't joined the local running group for the last outing of the year. This year, I closed it out and ran, in my boots, through a lightly falling snow from the end of town and back. Took about half an hour (I'm damn slow and we stopped to take pictures) but it was a great way to cap off the year.
My right calf/Achilles tendon were pulling a little after the first mile but I stretched it out before we started on our way back. I danced awhile and then walked home (another mile) and thought it might be wise to do some Pigeon Pose and Downward Dog when I got home. It turned out to be a good decision as I'm barely feeling it today.

New Year's Eve

Christmas Stroll

This year, a group of us decided to go caroling. Where can one carol in Gardiner, MT? The bars. What now? Yes, the bars. And it was so much fun. Luckily, it was a fairly warm year (in the teens) so we were able to walk from the Rail to the Town. We hit the grocery store and a coworker's house on the way. Then on to the Two Bit, the Town, the gas station, and the Blue Goose. Some bars were more appreciative than others (a free round of drinks, a bartender that sang along, and the gift of $100. We tried to explain that we weren't fundraising, but it got pressed on me anyway. Congratulations to the Gardiner Food Bank).
I think we got a lot of folks interested for next year and I even got to share the fun evening with my parents!
