Welcome 2012 with good health and positive energy

and have not been feeling like myself. I was born with happy genes, but I’ve been feeling very sad since I got back, and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s hormonal? I feel like I’m going through a self evaluation and feeling like I am not sure that I’m on the right track. I haven’t been very loving to my BF and you get back what you give.
I believe that when things feel rough there is a lesson that’s about to surface and I need to search for it.

looking forward to the adventures ahead!

to go to the Big Island in August for the race. Ready, set, GO!! Hawaiian airlines had $69 airfare, so I jumped on it.

Looking so forward to this! Did a lot of work booking flights/hotels/activities. Booked river rafting and cycling in Bali. The first day we get in first thing will be a nice massage.
Not sure what to expect when I get to Jakarta as it’s all been organized (other than accommodation). After two days in Jakarta a couple hundred of us will take a train down to Yogyakarta and spend 7 days running and hiking.
So grateful….

Went to a party on March 31st. Towards the end of the party I was standing and talking to a woman. All of a sudden, a wave of offensive odor passed us. We kept talking as the stench wafted around us. I was in a panic thinking that she would think it was me! At the time I was also rubbing my belly, so she must think it’s me. She politely excused herself to throw something away in the kitchen.

I ran over to my BF who was across the room and told him that Patty probably thinks that I farted, and how horrible I felt. Then he says “it was me.” He said he had been depositing presents all over the room. The latest one was over Shivaun’s shoulder. The previous one was behind me and Patty and he quickly scooted away. I told him that his insides were surely rotting, and that I would tell Patty that it was him and not me. He said “you wouldn’t do that to me.” Of course I would.

Brought me back to 1999 when I was at a work party in NYC. I was dancing up a storm. A group of my co-workers and I were dancing and suddenly that too familiar stench came upon us. Two of us jumped off the dance floor and the woman I was with said “one moment I was dancing, and the next a sewer opened up!” I agreed with her, but did not admit that it was indeed me. I omitted that I emitted. :)

What we make it!

We had everyone run around a hilly neighborhood and then into the woods. When they got back to the start we played games that brought out the kids in them.

I forgot that I had a tennis match. We won, but it was a struggle with the windy weather.

I am going to log onto active.com and see what other races are coming up so that I can start training for. My BF did the half marathon yesterday without me. :( I wasn’t planning on doing the whole thing, but about 9 miles of it.

Amazing!

My friends who are in their 60’s and 70’s asked me today “are you running the half marathon next Sunday?” They said it with more of an expectation, than a question mark.

I said “No, when I melt this lard butt maybe.”

They are all running it…..sigh. I think this is the kind of pressure I need.

So I’ve decided to run (without a number) next Sunday and complete about 10 miles of it. If I am able to do the whole thing, I will, but my goal is to do 10 miles.
