I’ve been anxious to get back to dance and to running. In preparation for getting back to dance, my Christmas list was filled with all sorts of winter dancing goodies: new tights, new sweaters, etc. Now they’re just sitting in my drawers, waiting to be worn.

Last week, I bought myself some new stability running shoes so that when I eventually return to running (in a few weeks) I would have new shoes that were better than my old ones to run in.
