Anyway, I found your blog through Allison's & Jim's…I'm a fellow Lee's Summit runner (although very new at this, actually)…. This post hit me, as I lost my Dad in October…and I have to agree, the holidays were very hard. Every little thing would "trigger" the memories and emotions…and I thought the same thing - that I had one less present to buy this year, which just made me very sad. Anyway - good luck with your upcoming race in Phoenix; I'm heading to Disney World to do my 2nd half-marathon - ever!
