i had a good day. i took a great run this morning in shorts in the sunshine. probably it wasn't actually warm enough for shorts, but i didn't pack any track pants, so shorts it was! i had the satisfaction of knowing that at least i wouldn't get frostbite.

i love the sun. december sun is weak, but i could still feel the warmth of it on my face and legs (eek!).

i walked around downtown today, feeling a bit like i was in a ghost town. so many of my familiar faces are away, and so i didn't run into people like i used to last year. it felt a bit lonely - like a tourist in my home town. oh, so melodramatic. you can never go home again. i did check to make sure the brew pub was still there, and the goat, too. present and accounted for.

my feet are getting heavy every step away
