Cleansing



Last week we tried this cleanse where you can't have any sugar, caffeine, alcohol, gluten or animal products (including eggs, cheese and milk). This week we made up for lost time, eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream for Amber's 26th birthday on Wednesday, and as I type this I'm nibbling on a chocolate truffle.

Following our hiatus, we returned to Starbucks yesterday before driving up to Pinecrest Lake. We took Maggie to the lake for her first big outing. Some people, including Amber and Ediza, attempted sledding despite the lack of snow. Lately, it has been feeling more like June than January around here.

We plan to take advantage of the weather tomorrow and return to the old railroad grade where I started my training a year ago for the Great Wall Marathon. Come to think of it, I haven't ran since the marathon eight months ago:)

Dear Family~
Good effort in trying the cleanse, but the lattes & ice cream do sound wonderful! I remember my first trip to Pinecrest Lake & how beautiful it was--you're blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the country! The East coast has definitely felt like winter lately. Mike--get busy running again! Wishing you peace always~
Love,
Mom
