As I ran around the park, I thought about my friends and those close to me. And in my pocket was my newest Christmas present; my marathon medal. In my heart was my family. Distance in miles means nothing when you truly care about those involved. Would I have enjoyed actually being with loved ones in the flesh? Absolutely. But I knew this next best thing was pretty good also. Cool temperatures nipped at my face but I was warmed from within.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and were able to be with those you care about most.
