We started 2026 off on the right foot with a yummy osechi feast, followed by an afternoon run around the neighborhood. It felt like the perfect way to begin the year, good food and a little movement to balance it all out.
I went for an afternoon run around my childhood neighborhood today. I passed by my old elementary school and looped through the park I used to walk through every weekday. It was incredibly nostalgic, and I loved every minute of it.
The sky was full of clouds today, stacked in layers and all moving in different directions. It was really cool to pause for a moment and just watch them drifting across the sky.
I’ve been going out for runs more often lately, and it’s been really great. The weather has been beautiful, too. Today, we had some lovely cloud formations that eventually turned into a big storm later in the evening. Fortunately, our property wasn’t damaged, but the storm was definitely intense!
I went for a run just before sunset and enjoyed the long shadows – anything that makes the run more interesting is a win for me!
