Was There Anywhere I Didn't Go?

Whew. I am exhausted. It feels like I was everywhere. In fact, I did go around the world 3 times in the last 48 hours, making appearances in city squares, parades, tree lightings, shopping centers, and sporting events (football matches, American football games, hockey matches, and basketball games). At least the reindeer got a break.... only two joined me on most trips.... so they are still well-rested.

I was able to run both Saturday and Sunday. I am training for the Jingle Bell 5K on Saturday. What a fun run! All of the finishers get medals made out of ginger bread... they're edible. And I might add, quite tasty when dipped in a cup of Egg Nog or Christmas Blend coffee. I run the race almost every year, but this year, Mrs. Claus and my entire senior staff have all committed to run the race with me. I've been training for it the last three months... I really want to see if I can finish ahead of Jangle. He has beaten me every year, usually by about a minute, but I have been getting closer each time. I think this may be my year.

I have been feeling particularly well today. Nothing specific.... I just seem to have a little less energy. I've cancelled our end-of-day staff meeting and my facility tour that were both scheduled for tonight so I can get to bed early. I think a little rest and I'll be back to 100% soon. Its amazing how the excitement of Christmas has kept me going though today. It was jus that little extra shot of adrenaline that I needed. But for now, I'm going to turn in and get some rest. I'll be back at it tomorrow.
