I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.
I was still in Germany this week, soaking up time with my family and celebrating a new year. I went for some walks with Jon and my mom and and I did a New Year’s run with my sister at her gym. The awesome thing about running at the gym together is that we can run next to each other even if we run at different paces and “high five” each other in person at the end!

- 85 min Just Walk: Outdoor
I walked with my mom and Jon in my town.
Tuesday

January 6, 2025 at 9:10 amI am so happy to hear that you are still in Germany enjoying time with family. My childhood bff’s dad passed away right before thanksgiving. I practically grew up at their house and it was just so unexpected.
Safe travels.
