Went to course check two New Year's Day Run routes. The first one I had to do some rerouting due to an unexpected closure of the Waterfront Trail section I was planning to use. The other one was fine. 15K worth of running to check out both 5K courses.

We picked a rib roast for under $6/pound which I thought was pretty good. It was huge so DH cut it in half and we'll have it twice! Both are in the freezer for now.

Thanks. I had forgotten about Costco...

See if you have a Costco business center in your area. They can be significantly cheaper on large cuts of meat.

1 mile easy. Got cleared by my doctor to do an easy 1 mile run today before a second surgery this Friday for my bladder cancer. Would like to have done more, but was good to at least run again even if too short and too slow. Hopefully a couple weeks after recovery from this next smaller surgery and healing I can get back to running regularly. Doctor thinks the chemo I will then be getting may not interfere too much and points out keeping in best shape possible is important. We shall see.

We bought Cornish hens on a whim recently, and roasted them on the spit in the air fryer. It was fun but that technique would not work for a crowd. Maybe I'll pick a few up if I see them on sale for the holidays.

quail! fancy little birds, lots of flavour... or cornish hens if you can't find quail, less fancy and less little, but either one is a good excuse to make croquettes in the shape of pears...
