Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! Last night was lots of fun with my friend Sue. :) We went to see a comedy show, then to Friday's and then to her house to watch the ball drop.  It was calm but a great way to ring in the New Year!  The comedy show was pretty good but the 4th and last comedian was really raunchy and not very funny.  The funniest part was how many people he offended who left before his act was over.  I think that's when Sue and I laughed the hardest! It was like a mass exodus! LOL. Thanks to all who texted to wish me a Happy New Year!  :)

As far as the day goes today, I got a good start on some of my New Years Resolutions. :)  I woke up a little late and was slow moving to begin so I missed my intended Winter Series Run.  I probably could have made it but it would have been cutting it very close.  I decided that rather than try to run to the start and risk missing it altogether that I would just run on my own instead.  I ended up running 2.25 miles on the Niskayuna bike path. It was at a slow pace; about 12:30 mile, but it felt good to get out there. My goal is to just get out there consistently 3-5 days a week for the next few weeks and not worry about pace.  If I can do 2 miles a night for the next two weeks, I'd be happy. As the weeks progress, sunset times will also get later so it works well with my mileage increase.  :)

I also got rid of some boxes by bringing them to my friend Sandy's house.  She will go through and take what she can use and then donate the rest. :)  I took out the garbage too! Both of these things help with my organization goal. I've been making lunch and dinner for my mom and using up leftovers as I go along. This helps with finances and with taking better care of my mom.  :)  I was able to get my room together and moved my bed into my new "bedroom" and was therefore able to sleep in my bed for the first time in quite a while. That's a whole different story.  Let's just say it's progress! :)  I read a few pages in my Chi Running book.  I decided I would read a few pages a day to help with my running and hopefully gain strategies for avoiding future injury. I placed my "positive or happy" event of today in my 2013 jar. Finally, I made my lunch for tomorrow and got the coffee maker all set up! Should make the morning easier!!

Now it's late and I'm tired so I'm going to cut it off here! Oh, and I blogged today! Let's hope I do it again tomorrow! Night!

                                               Before the run in the bitter cold!!

                                               The path I just ran!!

                                           2.25 miles done! First run since my injury!
