Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas! I’m a little belated, but I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday! I spent yesterday with my family so it was really fun. 😀

I also made cinnamon buns for the first time ever. I pre-made the dough on Sunday and saved half for Christmas morning. It was pretty easy–for some reason I thought making cinnamon buns would be hard, but it wasn’t. They came out GREAT.

I used this recipe for home made cinnamon rolls.

Anyway, after my hike on Monday, I had to take two whole days off from any kind of workouts. My calf muscles are STILL sore, and my heels are pretty torn up from my boots. I’m still not sure why–I think it had to do with the pressure from the microspikes. I’m not really sure how to fix this problem for future winter hikes without having to buy new boots, but I’ll figure something out.

Anyway, I was supposed to get some runs in this week, but I don’t think I’ll be able to run in sneakers until tomorrow (I had to finally put on real shoes today). And I’m hoping I can still run my half marathon next week. Lets hope my feet heal in time!
