Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree!


Tonight my mom and I decorated the tree. We do this every year together. My brother, Stephen, used to participate, but has lost interest I guess (plus the fact that he has to study for his exam tomorrow). It was a lot of fun and very tiring. I am ready to hit the sack! I love our Christmas tree because we use all kinds of ornaments: homemade as well as ones given to us. I also love that we get a real tree every year. I think they smell so good and really add to the Christmas cheer!

I did not run yesterday or today because I have been sick. I woke up yesterday morning with a high fever and rested all day. I felt a lot better this morning and was ready to run. However, my dad was against the idea and did not let me because he thought I would feel even worse than I felt Monday if I tried to run out in the cold. I plan on starting back tomorrow. It was very hard not running for two days because I know this month's training is very critical, but maybe my body just needed the rest.

your dad is right. missing two days is a lot better than logging worthless miles when you're sick. get well first! and tomorrow is your birthday so rest up for your party tomorrow!
