Overall
I didn't work out yesterday because I was gorging on hot chocoloate and mini-marshmellows. I was also relishing my inside time with Josh. This morning rolled around, we lounged around, I blogged a little, and then we decided that if we were going to be eating a lot of food, then we really ought to go do something about our metabolisms first. So, we headed out, and I suggested we take a little longer route and so we covered ~5 miles together! It was fantastic, aside from the fact that we stopped at the post office and got stuck with too much mail to carry home! Oh, well. We made it all right, and that's what counts in the end. I was so happy we went together. It's been imprinted into my mind …
