Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Praying that everyone had a great Christmas & 

will enjoy abundant blessings throughout 2016.

Here's how hubby & I celebrated after Christmas.

It has been a looong time since we've been to a movie theater.

 HAPPY  NEW YEAR!!

 

Fifth Half Marathon

COMPLETE!!

I had not participated in a half marathon for 6 1/2 years,

so this was quite an accomplishment.

I had a personal best time which really pleased me.

The 14th Annual Florida Holiday Halfathon was held on December 13th.

We started at Madeira Beach, FL & ran north to finish up at Taylor Park in Largo, FL.

The weather was beautiful - sunny & 70ish!!

I have been training with a group of ladies,

FAB 50 Women on the Run, for a marathon in January.

Per our training schedule the Holiday Halfathon was our "recovery run."

Before the Race!

The Finish Line!

This was NOT my finish time.

I started early with the walkers,

since I am an interval run/walker.

After the race some of the FAB 50 ladies performed a Flash Mob dance routine.

Since I have no rhythm I did NOT participate.

What a fun day with a great group of ladies!

Look for the marathon result post in January!!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE . . . .

CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas!

With all the commercialism surrounding this time of year,

please remember the reason for the season is Jesus.
