Today my girl and I have a sewing lesson, so I’m thankful for that. She has a bit of a cold and so I’m thankful I haven’t caught it as I am running a half-marathon on Sunday. We are supposed to make blankets. She picked an animal fabric and if you know her then you know she totally loves animals. I picked a bright fabric with Swans on it. It just looked happy to me. The forecast for Sunday’s half has rain in it. Luckily we have run in the rain once and also a heavy drizzle so as long as its light I think we’ll be ok.

Christmas was really nice. New Years was fun. I made it to midnight and wasn’t tired at all. I love ringing in the New Year with my family.

There has been lots of sunshine, hopefully the rain doesn’t bring back the fog. I don’t care for fog.

Sunday is Epiphany and our run is called the Dia De Reyes run. We run the course all the time. It’s basically our training course for our half in Monterey, so it will be familiar and believe it or not Fresno is really pretty and green right now. The foothills have greened up and the Eaton Trail is a nice trail to run on in the early morning. We are having people over in the afternoon to celebrate our run. We will have tacos and Rosca de Reyes or Three Kings Cake. There is a baby Jesus baked into the caked and the person who gets the Baby Jesus is supposed to host a meal on February 2nd for family. February 2nd marks the end of the Christmas season for Catholics.

So today for sewing lessons, health, running, sunshine and good times with family and friends…I Give Thanks!
