New Year's Eve
I must admit, I am not crazy about New Year's Eve. The idea of drinking myself into a stupor just because the year is changing does not appeal to me. I don't really enjoy staying up until all hours of the night anyhow. Put me in bed around 9:00 and I'm happy. I get way too tired and cranky to stay up late just to watch the year change. It just isn't that big of deal to me. I probably get it from my parents since they never, ever, ever did anything for New Years when we were growing up. I tried as much as I could when I was younger to get into it, but I never could. That being said, I do not have any major plans for tonight. The neighbors accross the street are having people over, so I may go over there for a little bit. Other than that, I have no plans of a wild and crazy night. Hey, real training resumes tomorrow at 7 AM with the first long run of the year!
Today, being Friday, was the day off for the week. I wasn't feeling too hot about myself yesterday so I couldn't sit around and do nothing today. Last night I went in the basement and rode the stationary bike for half an hour because I felt so much like a slug. This morning I went to the gym and did the elliptical for an hour. I was shocked at how busy it was in there today. I guess that I thought that people would have to work today, but then I remembered that a lot of people tend to take this week off from work. After I did the elliptical, which was supremely boring, I stretched and decided that I would lift. The gym isn't open tomorrow, which is my regular day to lift. I am having a much better body image day today. Yesterday was probably due to overindulging on Wednesday night.
I think that I am going to go shopping this afternoon. I want to see if I can grab any real bargains before the year ends! I hope that everyone has wonderful, safe evenings tonight in whatever way they choose to celebrate!

hi blondie! how did your first long run of 2005 go? i am looking forward to the update! i felt sad when you said you were having a bad body image day. all i could think about was how amazingly fast the body that you do have allows you to run! i have a feeling that you are incredibly lean and graceful:) keep your head up and smile!
just so you know, i can totally relate - the past 3.5 months without running (and most exercise for that matter), i have felt like the good year blimp. but getting back in shape is going to take some time and i must be patient and say, "well, at least i can still run 6:30s!" hugs and happy new year!!!
