Flew into Austin yesterday for the holidays.  I’ll remain here through much of January.  Previous plans to snow shoe and exercise in other winter sports are now shelved until I return.  Which is fine.  I can keep running.  While some nagging aches and pains continue to linger, I don’t have any injuries that would require me to lay off for the winter.  I got in a slow and easy 13 miles on the Brushy Creek Regional Trail this morning.  A fine start.

And so you know, this is my last photo from the recent Colder Bolder 5K.  Off next to ride the North Pole Flyer – an Austin Polar Express train ride that launches out of Cedar Park.  Dinner at Chuy’s afterward and perhaps a visit to the Zilker Park Christmas lights.  Same game plan as last year.
