Welcome to 2007!

Well out with the old and in with the new ... it's now 2007!

Christmas and New Years are now done ... hard to believe. Hope you had a good Christmas we did ... and I even got a new digital camera for Christmas so I'll be able to post pictures ... YIPPEE!

Christmas Day we spent at my SIL's ... it was lovely and relaxing. Great fun playing with my niece and just hanging out.

Boxing Day I ran the annual 10-mile race and managed to do it in 1:51:22 despite having a brutal cold virus for weeks. This time was only 1:15 longer than my time 2 years ago.

New Years Eve we had our "annual" Pre-Party and this year over 40 people came! Yes there was a round of open houses in the neighbourhood this year so everyone was invited to ours as well. There's a reall sense of community in the neighbourhood which is really cool.

Resolutions ... I have a few:
  1. DS, DH and I are going to do a "streak" ... we will walk or run at least 1 mile each and every day of 2007. So far we're good :
  2. I will lose 5 pounds. I weight in at Weightwatchers on Dec 29 for my 5 year anniversary and I'm proud to say that I've stayed within my goal weight for 5 years. However over the past 3 years I've gained 5 lbs so it's time to take it off.

I've also figured on my race calendar for the year ...

March - Chili 1/2 Marathon and Around the Bay 30K

April - Urban Burn 1/2 Marathon (?) or the Mississauga 1/2 - I haven't decided

May - Mississauga 1/2 Marathon (?) and National Capital full Marathon

August - Edmonton 1/2 Marathon

September - either Scotiabank 1/2 Marathon or 25K Run for the Toad

November - Hamilton 1/2 Marathon

December - Las Vegas Marathon

Should be a full year eh?

Cheers

Shirley
