I had to look up mountain climbers! They definitely look intimidating so I'm damned impressed you're doing any! It's nice to hear you're remembering why you like running - and that you actually do. I've never seen someone look happy running (maybe our weather has something to do with that) but it's a relief to know they might actually be enjoying it.
Christmas cookies are good for you...right....right?! :S Yeah, I'm eating too many too but we only get them for a little while so we have to eat enough for the year. *shifty eyes*
