Best Laid Plans

Happy New Year oh 5 days after the fact!!!! Oh I had such fantastical plans for my 2 weeks off of work...Workout, eat healthy after returning home from the tour of the Midwest, finish my wedding thank yous, clean my very dirty condo, blog, catch up on my google reader, shop for a new couch, so on and so forth. What I actually got done? A lot of staying up very late (3am) and sleeping in (noon), eating really delicious/very unhealthy food in copious amounts, drinking with all that wonderful food, and laying in my bed to watch Unsolved Mysteries, 48 hour dramas, bad crime TV show marathons while playing games on my iTouch. And...it...was...glorious. I did clean the bathroom 1 day and attempted to run another day but nothing else. And then Monday arrived and my laziness came to a screeching halt. Now begins the schedule of working out, finally finishing those thank yous and eating relatively healthy. I can't help it I had all the ingredients to make peanut butter brownies without going to the store ;) I am looking into a few races this year and hope to stop procrastinating and make a decision by this weekend. Several of my non-runner friends have decided to partake in a local Chicago race that I stopped running 2 years ago due to the sheer size and lack of friend support. I may have to join them this year though!

HAHA... I had so many plans for my week at home and didn't get as far as well.

At least you cleaned your bathroom - that's HUGE in my book.

I'm thinking about visiting Chicago again to try the Shamrock Shuffle - I hear it's a big ole party!

Hi Jamie

It is a really funny thing when you have all this time and you think you are going to get SO much done and well... it never really happens. But that is what breaks are for. It is time to recharge the batteries and get ready for a great '09.

Best of luck with everything.
