I did it!! Six days in a row - finally!!!!!! I have to admit I was pretty tired on today's run, but I did it and I feel (to borrow from Michelle) JOYFUL AND TRIUMPHANT!! I like to celebrate every little achievement! And I feel like a true runner today because I ran through the rain. Somehow that seems like a rite of passage or something.

We had a book club luncheon at my house today - our once a year tradition. We read Ladies Auxiliary, which is set in a Jewish Orthodox society; and since we're a few days away from Hannakah, I decorated in blue and white and someone brought latkes. It was fun. Christmas is going to be much more fun this year since our 6 year old is finally very excited about the tree and presents - and our 1 year old is actually leaving the tree alone (partly out of fear - it scratched her as we were setting it up and she hasn't forgiven it!) Have a Merry Christmas season, everyone!
