Happy Birthday Jesus!
Official Christmas celebrations started with midnight mass. Dim sum and beer followed of course!
Then time to open some presents. Since we're super-runners in training, I got my friends
water bobbles. I'm kinda obsessed with them. I also got Cang some cute sunglasses that are made for outdoor activities without looking, dare I say, 80s.
After a good night's sleep, I woke up for a Christmas day hike from Taikoo to Stanley. I was happy to see Mags there, but she took off ahead of the group to run the trail while the rest of us walked.
A 14k day, not too shabby. Jesus gives it a thumbs up!
When we reached the beach town of Stanley, several of us lingered for burgers and beers. It was a great night, but sitting al fresco in a sweat soaked shirt was freezing. I didn't stick around too long.
After showering and getting my act together, I met up with Cang and Creepy for a drink, and afterwards we got massages! Cheapo 11 pm massages. Yes, there are many perks to living here! But we're not spoiled, this is just a part of our Tarahumara training.
After another good night's rest, I woke up to skype with the family and open more presents. A great Christmas weekend all around, and even better because we get an extra day off for Boxing Day.
