All I wanted for the Holidays was…

1.  To enjoy some quality time with family/friends..and make it through the various get togethers relatively unscathed…

Dunzo.  We had some great visits with the important peeps in our life.  Not going to lie…at times it was hectic, loud, messy, full of ‘kid meltdowns’ and chaotic – all things that are way out of my element.  I also didn’t miss a scheduled training session and had some awesome runs/workouts..including a 16km run on Jan 1st..as the hubs nursed his grappa induced headache. 

2.  Get A PB.

No…not peanut butter.  But there was some peanut butter goodness for the holidays.  These puppies have a ton of calories but are soooo worth it.

MY PB was for the Boxing Day Miler.  I had a 1:26 min PB which isn’t truly what I wanted but felt I had a good race and oh so much fun.

A free beer post race?  Yes.Please….

3.  Ring in 2012 with gusto and set some goals. 

I tend to be a plain jane – black tank dress, ‘sparkly’ top with jeans etc.  but I branched out and took advantage of sales and got a great outfit…

And my goal setting?  Stay tuned…

How were your holidays?

This was my year to go with the flow over the holidays. I refused to get stressed out. Christmas Day plans changing on Christmas Day? No problem. Dinner for 4 on NYE changed to dinner for 10? Whatever!

I like the dress!
