Jingle Bell baby!

The first time I've ever placed in a race.

So it was "only" a 5k.

So it was "only" in New Braunfels.

I am SO happy!



My time was slower that last years by 31 seconds. Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmit!



And, at the end of the race, I think I could have ran faster. It was drizzly and misty and the road were slick. Excuses, excuses...time for more racing!



I think I'm addicted!

I already bought a 2010 calendar and have been all my different online racing websites to find races...



Here's my tentative schedule:

Jan 4-11th: SKI TRIP!! 5 days of skiing baby! Steamboat or bust!!

Jan 24th: 3M Half Marathon, Austin Texas Looking for a new half PR!

Feb 12th: Cupid's 10k nighttime trail run, and maybe another 5k...maybe this 8 miler...

March: Hmm...ZOOMA for sure...and maybe ONE of these!??!?!? an ultra?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?

We'll see...time will tell!!

Bah hum bug

I want to be in the Christmas spirit.
But it's just not happening. I am excited to see my brother. He's coming down on the 23rd. I haven't seen him in over a year. I can't wait to see him.

Hopefully we will have the house in SOME semblance of order by then. These past few days or week or so have been full of Christmas parties, WORK, and tiling. FUN! nah. not really. but...

It's looking AWESOME.

I've been lazy with my running. I don't know why. Maybe the weather. I only have one pair of "pants" (really they are capris) so maybe I need some CUTE winter running clothing to motivate me. I'm running a 5k tomorrow. The New Braunfels Jingle Bell 5k. I did it last year and PR'd with a 25:40. Hopefully I can do better but we'll see. It's supposed to be in the 40's and drizzling. Yuck.

I did my first official crossfit workout and it kicked my butt. I LOVE IT! I can't wait to make my garage into a gym so I can start getting CROSSFIT!

Merry Christmas all.
