Wrapping up the year....

Ragsthecat says "Happy Holidays"

OMG - It has been FOREVER since I've posted... just way too busy with life, and everything else I guess. I did have a draft in here from a couple of weeks ago, but with the switch I guess it's long gone :( I can't even remember what it was about now...

So... what have I been up to? I spent September through last week instructing a For Women Only run clinic. 40+ chicas from University age to mid/late 50's. Talk about an inspiration to me. While the group dwindled down as the 10 weeks went on, several people stuck with it right through & never missed a group practice - some even running on their vacations.

But now it's time to train for me again - I'm gearing up to run 30K at the end of March. I publicly declared it to my on-line crew a few months ago, so now I HAVE to to it, right? ;) I've returned to the pool regularly with some coaching & have had a number of light bulb moments to boot! Spinning once a week for 90 minutes with a psycho (but in a good way) instructor. All I have to do now is put the Dolphin on the trainer to do some indoor rides. Next comes a bit of weight training (I need to find the time to fit that in as well?)

I've also been on vacation from work this past week. I decided to really clear stuff up so I can start 2007 bright & shiny, the baggage of early 2006 a distant memory. I've purged some more, packed up the last of "T's" stuff to drop off to him and re-decorated a bit.

My new place truly is mine now. Girly bedroom stuff, all the colours I want - it finally is a reflection of me!

And that feels wonderful.
