Looking for Santa

Granted, it was a little early in the day to be out looking for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. However, I did get harassed by the FVRP (Formerly Virtual Running Partner), who has of late been a FR (Former Runner). He dropped a gift by the house while I was out and then drove up Lake Forest where we crossed paths. He cursed me and gave me the finger, and then he parked in the neighborhood to harass me some more once I got up the hill.

I guess Santa wasn't out because it was 43 degrees and windy, or maybe it was the sunlight. Whatever the case, barely anybody else was out either. I layered up and ran my 5 miles, and I'm glad I did. I needed the exercise and routine after several days of neither. At the risk of jinxing myself, this seems like the longest stretch in a couple of years where I've been injury-free and felt strong in my running. Let's hope it continues into the new year.
