I just got an email that my credit card was charged, and I double checked my online banking... it looks like I made the lottery for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler!! Which means my brother will be coming too, since we had started a group. I'm not sure if any of my other friends had signed up, but I am WICKED excited!!
Today is disgusting out. I had already decided that I would run outside if it were snowing, but it was raining. I hate rain. So I went to the gym since long run this week was only 8 miles. Knee started hurting around mile 5 or so. I did have the new shoes on, I just know the IT band is to blame (mental note to roll it after posting this).
Almost done with christmas shopping, just a couple things to pick up, and waiting for a few more to arrive by mail. I've also ordered myself a couple things.

I need to not only be thinking about the half marathons in february, but for the triathlon season ahead of me! I didn't take swimming as seriously as I could have for my first Tri. I'm a fairly strong swimmer to begin with, I placed in the top 10% of the swim, so I imagine how kick ass I could be with some practice. And with my dreams of an olympic tri this summer and a 70.3 somewhere down the line, I need to be making the best use of the off season now. Strength training is something that I always neglect, so I am hoping for this to jump start things as well.
Eating has been sub par, I haven't been tracking my weight watchers points. I am really going to try tomorrow. I made a delicious acorn squash soup for dinner tonight. Im craving something sweet, but I think I'll settle for a popsicle.
Since miszippy didn't email me with her Inperspire towel choice, I picked a new winner. The Running Green Girl! hooray email me at sgrigely at hotmail dot com with your address and towel choice!
