Good
We didn’t get much snow.

I got all of my runs in this month.

I’m rocking the core/weight training/hip strengthening exercises and I have the quivering muscles to prove it.

I’m food journaling for the first time…in. Like. Ever.
I’ve even lost a few pounds.

Running Off for a Cause!! The generosity makes my heart swell. I’ll take donations for another week or so. Go here for more info.

Bad 
We didn’t get much snow…so far…

Some of my runs have been cut….um….a little short. See below.

The kids have been sick. Nurse GoodBody needs a break.

I haven’t made it to the gym yet….this year.

No cycling.

No yoga either.

Ugly

Despite receiving the Varicella vaccine and booster, it seems Thing 1 has contracted Chicken Pox.

Looks like my role playing Nurse GoodBody will be more than just a cameo appearance.

Visit #2 to smooth operator Endodontist happens later today. I think I’ll live large and go for buttered rum anasthetic. It may be the closest I come to the islands for awhile. Even laying in a dentist’s chair is looking kinda good to me about now.

Sprint to the Finish

Shopping is done! Wow the stores were a mess…the parking lot was a bigger mess.
Wrapping is not done!

Baking would have been done if I didn’t shoot off my mouth and volunteer to make my brother (one of two Christmas babies in our clan) a birthday cake. But not just any cake. That would make too much sense. I said I’d make the stunning and coveted Buche de Noel. It’s festive and chocolaty plus it looks like a giant woodland turd, so very appropriate for my brother…or SUAR…or any runner for that matter. I’ve never baked one before. Talk about getting out of one’s comfort zone.

Santa will be bringing Thing 1 a duplicate toy. It’s far too late to turn that sleigh around now.

Santa has also apparently misplaced something back at the pole. When will I he learn?

Workouts despite the holiday mayhem, are being done like clockwork. I may have nothing on my schedule (yet) for 2011 but rest assured I am training for SOMETHING! A girl’s got to have priorities.
