So, we started the new year off with a ice skating trip. It started off pretty good everyone seemed to have the hang of it. My dad ended up falling because a girl cut him off the first time. Yes, there was a second time when he was trying to stop he fell again so that was the end of that. I am guessing we will never go ice skating again. Also, spent some time playing the Wii which was fun-the hula hooping actually got me sweating. Would like to eventually get one just waiting to see what happens with my position at work in the next couple of months. I am going to try and blog every couple of days or at least once a week. I didn't start out the new year with a run-I really need to get back on track. The Shamrock 1/2 Marathon is 3/22 and I haven't done any long runs since November. I have decided I am not a cold weather runner. I hate it and am hoping once it is spring I will remember how much I hated it and enjoy running outside even more. I would like to get the Garmin 305 to keep track of my mileage also that is on my wish list. If my body cooperates I would like to do 5 1/2 marathons this year and to complete my first full marathon in October. I would like the Marine Corps to be my first.
