Kickin the New Year's Butt

Happy New Year! I haven't blogged for a long, long time. Holidays, no races, etc. Just nothing much to say. BUT I do have a few things today!

1. I got a Garmin for Christmas and took it on my first run today. I've been stuck inside on the treadmill for the past few weeks and ugh, that really isn't fun. Last weekend I did 11 miles on the treadmill at my gym. O.M.G. 2 hours running, running, running and never going anywhere! Plus I had to watch golf on the gym tv. That is just WRONG people.

Anyway, back to the Garmin. Why, why, why did I wait so long to get one of these?! Are you freaking kidding me?! It is AWESOME. Downside....being the borderline OCD person that I am.....I could really turn into a numbers girl super fast with this baby. My runs will never be the same!

2. I have been spinning, spinning, spinning trying to fit into those New Year's Eve Miss Me Jeans! I know you are just DYING to know if I made it. No :( Dang it.

They were on.
They were zipped.
They were buttoned.
But holy cow they were NOT pretty!

They are still hanging up where I get ready for work everyday ....waiting.....waiting.....

We have conversations some days about how we both really want to hang out together. But it just isn't meant to be. Not yet anyway. Bad timing I guess? So....yeah...uh hum... ok I got caught up there for a second.

My New Year's Eve pants just became my Birthday pants instead. Feb 6 it is!

3. I got to run outside today! It was beautiful weather, completely perfect for a run. I ran with my friend Rachel who is doing the Couch to 5K program. Today her goal was 20 min straight....she did that NO PROBLEM. I was super proud of her and I just love seeing people getting excited about running! PUMPS ME UP to RUN! Love it. We'll be running a 5K at the end of the month that she is clearly going to KILL!

4. New Year's Resolutions. Well, yeah, I make them. Along with every person in the gym this week (boy has it been crowded!) I have some in mind, for all areas of my life right now. Yes, I think about more than running - every once in awhile. Will catch you up on those later b/c I hate to type them out until I've really had time to make them tangible goals. (there's that OCD thing again...)

Happy New Year Friends! I think it's gonna be a great one.
