Christmas Day, after devouring a bunch of monkey bread and Barry’s tea, my sister and I brought Damon to Bare Cove Park for a run. It was freezing cold, but Damon’s energy and my desire to get back to the heat pushed us through our run. Colleen wanted to turn around almost 1.5 miles in so we got just under a 3 mile run in. When we got home, we stretched and popped into the hot tub. Little snowflakes that were falling during our run were building up and it was fun to be in the heat with the cold snow falling around us. 

The weather has kept my sister and me in most of our mini staycation down the cape. However, today whenever there was a bit of sun we scooted to the beach to take advantage of it. One trip involved some light reading in beach chairs while the other lead us on a long walk down the beach. It was surprising to feel soreness in different muscles the next day, the sand made us move in ways we’re not used to. Either way, getting in a bit of exercise, enjoying the scenery and each other’s company made for a wonderful afternoon.
