Happy New Year!

After much partying and a pulling of an all-night-er to enjoy all of the New Year celebrations, I went over to Steve's house where we had a fun first run on the new year w/some of the club: Bill (for a bit, hope his back gets feeling better soon), Steve, Mike and Holt. I was surprised by how awake I was after getting no sleep last night - the run wasn't sleepy or blah or anything! Went out with they guys and they thankfully kept it really slow at the beginning, so it was even easy for me (thanks) and I turned around at 3.35 for an out-and-back 6.7. Judging from my random disappointment that my foot wasn't miraculously better, I must've been subconsciously hoping something of the sort would happen for the new year. No such luck, though running on the soft dirt trails made it a bit better with it only hurting lots for the last 1-2 miles. Avg. 7:52/mi. (DS2 36)

Some running-related "New Years' Resolutions":

1- Not get injured. Ever!
2- If #1 works out, run everyday! (Except Sunday rest days.)
3- Get to th 2,000 mark on mileage,
4- Change my text from purple to blue. :)

I was hoping to make it over but was wasnt able to and glad I didnt cuz I was very sluggish today and would have made a running fool of myself! Sounds like you had a good time last night and I hope #1 works out!!!!and I like the blue text:)

Go with royal Blue! 2000 miles is good goal. your new car rocks!

I guess I'll go with the Royal... if the Wildbull insists. I don't want to get gored! And sadly, my "new car" was just my mom's car borrowed. I don't think I'm getting a new car. :( May Kermit rest in peace.

2000 miles would be Awesome. Nice run today, how cool is it to have youth on your side, pulled an all nighter, then go running, very impressive!! I would love to see that foot get better so you could turn it loose at Painters, you were born for speed. Good luck on the goals for the new year. I say go with the Royal also, Bill has a talent for these kind's of things.

Hey ruthie-o! You are a much better not sleeper than me! Although I did have fun. And I just watched the Count of Monte Cristo :)
