Goodbye Holidays - on we go

Sunday eve and the holidays are officially over.

Goal today was to run 4 miles in addition another teacher called and asked me to teach her 11:30 Spin class for her.

The plan was to run 4 miles at 10:30 turned into 10:45 which turned into 10:56 by the time I actually got on the treadmill. Of course the whole time I was justifying 'Well I am going to teach an hour long class so it's not like I won't get a workout'.

Friday, Saturday and today I wasn't feeling 100% - mostly due to an over abundance of New Years beans. You do know that you are supposed to eat black eye peas at New Years for good luck right? Well I think it was too much bulk or too much fiber or just too much for me and after eating beans Friday PM and Saturday PM I think I'd overindulged. Ugh.

Net net I only ran about 1.8 miles and then taught an hour long spin class.

Not bad not great it just is.

What will I do tomorrow when I have to wake up early and work a full day? Stay tuned.

First Day of the New Year

Is it counter productive to watch movies that show magical romance that culminates in a New Years Eve party or some other conflicted experience where you realize that your one true love has been right in front of you the whole time and then as the clock strikes midnight or the person walks out, the couple connects across the room and realize they are made for each other? How many are there? When Harry Met Sally, my personal favorite, Somone LIke You, Mama Mia, About Last Night and then of course there is the finale of season six of Sex and the City followed by the movie Sex and the City, which now that I think of it trumps When Harry Met Sally as my favorite.
I know that this has nothing to do with running a 1/2 marathon in 2010 but it is something that has been on my mind. Not necessarily because I stayed in alone last night as 2009 became 2010 but because they are my faovrite movies to watch and I would like that to happen for me. Because there are days when I am headed out on a date, and days when I am not, that I wonder if I will ever fall in love again. Not a person that I try to fall in love with but a person that I just fall over a cliff in love with.
It's been a long time and I question myself rather than ever believing that maybe it is not me, maybe it is all of the men I have dated. Maybe I am unique, special, kind and wonderful. Maybe I deserve the world and I should be happy and know that he is there and I can just relax. Maybe - just maybe.
Here's to a new year full of magical possibilities, including a 1/2 marathon.
