Just a quick post here as I am on my way out to the mall to get my charm bracelet I got for Christmas from my dad fitted and put all together!
I ran this morning again, it was a lovely sunny 40 degrees out! I did a 1.6 mile warm up then 6x100m sprints and finished with a 1 mile cool down run back to my house. All my speed workouts/interval runs have been done solo this week as I am still on break until the 5th.
I am still keeping up with all my reading and right now I am have checked out A Race Like No Other By Liz Robbins. I am finding that it is a very quick read, the words just flow and it makes it easy to just sit down and pick up where I had left off. As I was finishing a chapter last night I found this quote - from Ecclesiastes 9:11, "The race is not won by the swift nor the strong, but to he who endures to the end". This obviously is a modern interpretation but I think it is great; Life is a marathon not a track meet!
I am hoping to post a review of the 2008 year plus some goals for 2009 (although since Ill be in track till May my road racing goals really wont materialize until then). B-Rabbit is in lovely Florida for swimming and has been bragging about the 80 degree weather!! Totally not fair!
Other than that, life is pretty lazy around here. I don't have any plans for New Years and I feel like I will be going to bed at 1030pm just like I did last year (except last year I had bball practice at 10am on New Years Day!) I know I am a bum!!

Oooooo I know it! Hasn't the weather been so nice the past couple days? Too bad it won't last :-(
Hey lets not forget that B-rabbit took a 24+ hour bus ride to get there ;)
Florida... must be nice!
"Life is a marathon not a track meet!" -> I like that!
It's been great running weather!! Sounds like a pretty bracelet and good book! I'm reading 50/50. It's inspiring and the other night I had a dream I ran a marathon in my current state but drove through a part of it that was over a bridge. Right.
This weather has been lovely in Michigan. I hear were gonna get it come New years... why does it always have to be crappy on the holidays to make traveling a NIGHTMARE! Have a good holiday!
P.S. great job with all the running... i give you props for stickin to it through the holiday. I'm a giant slacker...
I want to do a 2008 review also. Ming will have to wait until after the New Year though.
yay cant wait for the 2008 review!! great job on the running!
I'm going to do a 2008 review soon. Please don't show mine up too much! :)
