Checking in before the holiday

I'm kind of taking a break from my routines for the next couple weeks. This week I've been busy preparing for Christmas - buying/wrapping presents, and then tomorrow we are driving to Virginia to visit our family. We'll be there until Christmas day because unfortunately I'll have to go back to work. I may squeeze in a run at my mom's house one morning but that'll be about it. I plan on beefing up my training significantly in the new year.. and I'm in the process of figuring out a race schedule of sorts. Yay!
