Today is December 1st, 2012 and a very unusual start to December. We had spring weather today as the temp hit 60 degrees. The sun was out for most of the morning before it became overcast. My husband, Laney, and I were able to get a long walk in. This is a very mild start to winter and I hope it continues. I don't recall a fall that has been this warm ever. We even had the warmest Thanksgiving day ever which was 63 degrees. Maybe global warming is for real.
It is hard to believe that Christmas will be here in just about three weeks. I am trying to get in the mood, but the weather has tricked my brain into dreaming of blooming flowers and green grass. I have always dreamed of living in a warm climate for winter and maybe my dreams are coming true. Maybe this is a present from Santa or just a tease before a blizzard strikes. What ever it is we will surely enjoy it. Walking outside is more pleasurable than walking on an indoor tract. And, life is beautiful with my two best friends by my side. Tis the season to be jolly.

Giving Thanks
Laney and I have spent the last week enjoying each others company and giving thanks to life, love and happiness. My computer has been ill ever since I posted Laney's picture. I teased her and said she blew up the internet. I think she was just wanting my attention. She has spent a lot of time following me around and we were able to get a few walks in last week since we had some warm weather for this time of the year. I believe that warm air decided to move elsewhere.
Thanksgiving day was one of the warmest on record with highs in the 60's and lots of sun. My husband and I managed to walk several miles on Thanksgiving day before we set down to a delicious dinner at my daughter's house. Then we ended it with a game of scrabble which my daughter took the honor of winning. It was a day filled with gratitude and thanks as we gathered with family to celebrate life. And, we gave my husband the honor of carving the turkey, as we gave thanks to God for another Thanksgiving together.
My husband and I are trying to get back on track with our training for our half marathon. It is now nine weeks until we walk in San Antonio and we are trying to increase our pace and distance as the weeks are passing by quickly. We managed to bundle up Sunday and last eve as we braved the cold and walked outdoors. I was amazed at how warm I was at the end of the walk and peeled off layers of clothes to cool down. I liked walking outside and we were able to enjoy the Christmas lights that people have put up. They seem magical when you walk by them. It is a different perspective of the lights than what you see from a car as you drive by. I'll try to continue walking outside until old man winter chases us back to the indoor track. As we walk we give thanks to all who have been a part of our lives, friends, family, and a spoiled dog named Laney. Life is beautiful!
