Happy New Year!

Today was 2 miles at pace, 2 miles "Tempo," and 2 miles pace. I learned by mile 4 I may be shooting to high for 8 minute pace for the marathon. Tomorrow is 3 miles, followed by strides, so should be okay for that. My biggest problem so far has been eating. I decided 2 days ago I needed to lose this extra weight in order to run better, so I started eating healthy. That lasted about 24 hours. Not only did I blow it last night, I super duper blew it. Oh well, back on today. I've also vowed only water for the next four months. Ugh. I hate it already.

Emily and I have been going to the yellow park over the past few days on her new princess bike. She can ride it all the way up the big hill by herself now, and now likes not only to go down the hill by herself, but wants to ACCELERATE while doing it... I thought I had it bad when she wanted me to help her down the hill, now I'm sprinting to keep up :)

While everyone was surely enjoying ringing in the new year, Leslie, Emily and I were in bed by 8:30 last night. We woke up just in time to see New York at 11:00 (whoah, is Dick Clark finally looking [sounding] old? What happened to him?), then went right back to sleep.

We hope you have a wonderful year!
