My husband signed himself and me both up for an Olympic distance triathlon next April. The distances are .93 mile swim, 25 mile bike ride, and 6 mile run. At one point not too many months ago I would have said I was almost ready for such a race. (Mind you, I am not racing, but for lack of a better term…) But now trying to recover from plantar fasciitis, I just don’t know. I can do a mile swim, though I’ve only done so in a pool (yes, this swim is in the bay again!) I was working up to the bike ride and know that I could do the 25 mile, though pretty slowly. I had done pretty good on the running until my injury. So if all else fails, I can do a run/walk come April. I may be slow but I intend to finish!!

When it comes time to give a special gift, lots of thought goes into it. There are so many options to from which to choose. These days, watches may not be one of the first things you think of when choosing that special gift. I have heard several times recently that people seem to no  longer be wearing watches. They all just look at their cell phones to get the time. I know that at times I have been guilty of doing that too. But I still wear a watch. Many people do. And having a nice watch is important for many people. A watch they can wear to work or wear when going out is a significant part of their attire. (And when working, you can’t always just whip out the cell to check the time!) A beautiful citizen diamond watch could be the perfect gift for someone special. Giving the attractive timepieces is still a traditional way of saying “I appreciate you”.  Upscale timepieces can represent the beauty, the unending appreciation, the value of the giver’s relationship to the recipient. This season, you may want to consider giving a gift of timeless value.
