Now, Where Were We?

Greetings!

Where were we? Oh yeah, I was talking about taking a break. Well, break's over.

Did I enjoy my break? Yes and no. It was nice having some extra free time, but on the other hand I felt stifled. I had some thoughts that I wasn't able to expand and then they just died. Oh well.

Still, the best thing about taking a break is my fingers are moving fast now. When I don't write for a bit - which for me is tough since I get paid to write, not a lot, but I do get paid - I hit the keyboard running if you will.

So here I am, back in tow. What's happened? Well...

1) The skies have opened up. We are under a deluge of rain here in SoCal. It makes it tough to do much, but ...

2) ... I ran 18 miles in the rain on Sunday. It rained for all but about 1-2 miles of the run.

3) Christmas season is in full effect. I got a really awesome gift exchange gift that I'll have to blog about.

4) Soccer refereeing is also in full effect, unfortunately. I get paid, so that's about the only redeeming quality of it.

Well, that's about it in a nutshell. Oh, I crossed the 1,300-mile mark for the year and don't think I'll make it to 1,400. We'll see what my total mileage for the year turns out to be, but it will be north of 1,300 which is pretty cool.

Finally, thanks to everyone for understanding and for coming back (if you came back). I didn't lose any followers while I took my break, so I'm hoping that everyone will be back shortly as well.

Will I blog every day? Maybe not. I might just blog a few times a week, but I'll be around. That's for sure. Break time's over and I'm glad.
