Happy last day of 2009! Of course there has to be a snowstorm to end the year. And, of course, I got caught in it about 3 miles from my house. I actually had my hand in front of my face blocking the falling snow because I couldn’t see a thing. Luckily I was in beautiful Lawrence, where the sidewalks are clear and the drivers are so aware and friendly (sarcasm – a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark). Today was the 2nd time that I almost got hit by a car while I was running. Where was I the first time? Let me think……oh yah, Lawrence! I tried a new running route today, which was much shorter than I had hoped. I had to do a few more miles, so I ventured across the town border. It’s my own fault for running through that shithole. I’ll stick to my old route from now on.
I just looked at my ‘excercise’ calendar to write this post. I am definitely taking tomorrow off! I think I deserve it. I worked out 28 out of 31 days in December. 18 of the 28 I did at least 2 different workouts (run & swim, Spin & swim, weight room & run, etc).
December recap:
– 73 miles running
– 17 hours in the weight room
– 10 hours at Spin class
– 3 miles swimming
– 2,000 sit-ups
– 1,000 push-ups
I can’t complain about that. December is a tough month too. I think I had desserts for like 6 straight days last week, so it’s probably a good thing that I worked out so much. I am treating myself tonight too! I would love Chinese food for dinner. I can’t remember the last time I had Chinese food. I’m also likely to consume 10 Captain & Cokes and probably 2 or 3 pieces of red velvet cake. Happy New Year to me!
Everyone have a happy and safe night! See you next year!
