Un-Forbidden

Along with my December hiatus from running, I've allowed myself some forbidden fruit from the first 11 months of the year. This is what I've mustered so far: a Mojo Pie (coffee ice cream) from Cold Stone, Kit Kat, assorted holiday cookies and fudge, and still to come - cheddar fries from Snuffers - a Dallas tradition of excess rumored to weigh in at about 3000 calories! Is that even possible? Fries, covered with cheddar, baked and melted to perfection, topped with bacon bits, chives, jalepenos, and ranch dressing. Once a year, I've never had anything that's come close to tasting this good!

In theory, I get it all in my system now, without feeling the least bit guilty, and without having to "run it off" right away. But run it off I will ... starting Jan 1, 2006.
