Family part 3

This past weekend Daniel and I went to visit Randy and Jean. The weekend started off on the wrong foot. Daniel had to stay at work late and was cranky because of that. A sales person had an appt for new years eve at 6pm! So.... I got to his work and read a magazine while waiting on him. Then as we were driving, he got a headache, and leg twitch. I drove which helped him take a nap and allowed me to control the radio! We stopped as we always do at cookout to see what the 99 cent milkshakes are. This time it was coke float? WHAT?! Anyways... we just got blueberry cheesecake and shared it. Thankfully we did that because I had no idea that Jean had made dinner for us and they were waiting on us. So sweet! AND it was CHEESEBURGERS! mmmm. So yes... I pigged out on the last day of the year. Milkshake, cheeseburger, cheetos, dunkin donut, etc. It had been a hard year and I was ready to start fresh. (after divulging in my high caloric food.) :)
Anyways.. We discussed my marathon and planning on where to stand, when to go down to the beach, the race course, etc. They both have run the half so I got a bit of guidance from them.
No one but Daniel stayed up until after 12. This is the first year that I did not care to stay up since I was an early teen. I did not watch the ball drop, did not have a party, just good sleep... BECAUSE... I had big plans for the next day. I had to get up early to train! Training was way more exciting than lack of sleep. I had an amazing run. I wanted to run longer than 9 miles but 1. it was not in my training schedule and 2. I did not want to be rude since I knew breakfast was going to be shortly after I was done.
So 9 miles it was. The roads were flat, I had a convenient place to stash my extra water and snacks (the mailbox) and it was just me and the road.
The rest of the day was chatting, eating and a trip to Best Buy. (Jean and I went to target instead) I was able to score some super cheap mittens for my runs and a couple other things.
All in all, it was a good trip. :)
