New Year's Eve 2009 PJs and a Camera

Well, New Year's Eve for us was pretty low-key. We were in or PJs by 7 pm. Jason made dinner:  roasted potatoes, green beans with red bell peppers, and an orange sauce for our Quorn patties. We did eat properly at the table at least.

After dinner, Jason played with the camera taking pictures of the maniacs (aka Maddie and Heath) before parking it on the couch with the maniacs where we listened to music and chatted until midnight. Heath is in the first picture. We adopted him from the Okie Dokie Cocker Rescue and Maddie is the Black & White parti was adopted from Dallas/Ft. Worth Cocker Rescue.




Oh, and Jason continued to take pictures playing around with the new remote for the camera (notice the remote in his hand) that we got for Christmas courtesy of my dad and step-mother.

  1. Your canine children are adorable. We had cockers growing up, so I am partial to the breed too.

    Thanks for mentioning your camera remote. Mine has one and I have never used it. I should play around with it.

    Glad you had a nice NYE.

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

Weights, Run, & Road Trip Details

Two on Tuesday This morning my eyes opened wide at 4:55 am. I tried to go back to sleep, but quickly realized I was only fooling myself. So I got up and got my workouts done. Today was leg day with quad focus. Wide-stance squats - 3x8 Rear leg elevated lunges - 3x10 Firewalkers - 8 total Narrow-stance squats - 3x10 Static lunges - 3x10 Squats with low-end pulse - 3x8 Wall squats with ball - 6 reps of squat with 10 sec hold Outer thigh raises with ankle weights on ball - 2x24 We had storms roll through last night, so the temperatures dropped finally. It was 74 this morning, so I decided to take advantage of that and get in a short 20-minute run. When I first started out, I seriously didn't think I was going to get very far. My legs were already yelling at me. But, about half a mile into the run, they loosened up and it felt good. What's the Deal With the Road Trip? I am really glad I got the workouts done early. I feel like I still have so much to do to get ready ...
