The first week of Jan.

There were some changes in life this week. A few of them are

• My co-worker/friend, Kim got engaged on Christmas day
• I had two friends tell me that they are expecting a baby in July/Aug.
• There were two fire in Bould

Most people think I'm a hard-core athlete. I'm really not that hard-c0re - actually, I'm pretty lazy. I'm what I call a hermit during the winter. I hate going outside of the house. I actually love staying inside all day in flannel pants, a long sleeve shirt and sweater. However, this week that changed. I worked out every day. I'm so happy. Believe it or not, I'm super happy. The work-week wasn't that bad. I actually worked my full-time job (45hrs+) without too many complaints.

For 20 years, my focus has always been running. Even though I am slower than ever before, should I quit focusing on running? I should really concentrate on swimming; its less harsh on the body along biking. I can make it through 26.2 miles on Aug 30 on 20 years of running, right? In reality, it's only 26, 1-mile repeats, not running 26 miles....

An update on my new year's goals -

• Sweets at work - failed. I had a choc. raspberry moose 2 days in a row . yum. And, on Friday I had popcorn.
• I got out one day this week for a run during the lunch hour. It was warm - 60 degrees. Very toasty!!!

And, people read my blog... wow! I feel important!
