A nip at your nose, (my son always loudly yells MOCOS (boogers in Spanish) as my nose runs relentlessly in the cold)
hot chocolate in hand, (because I stopped drinking so something has to keep me warm)
I bound for the snow with neurotic dog and screaming child in hand because one thing we all know is WE ALL LOVE WINTER!!
I have been so busy lately but in a good way not at work.
We had our 3rd Annual Festivus for the Rest of Us! Benefiting the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center. And even with the cold and wet rain we still had a pretty decent turn out. I loved the costumes and the energy that everyone still had even when soaking wet!
I had 2 fun filled snow days with my son and got him on skis for the first time. Yay!!! My little skier I'm so excited to go to the real slopes!
Soon I'll have a nice week and a half break from work over the holidays and I'm more than excited for that. With more ski trips coming up I decided to forgo a half marathon trip to Austin in order to get a few ski days in this year. So my training hasn't been stellar but I'm maintaining a base at least and I have lost about 5 lbs in the last month and half and have plateaued on that front but as long as I maintain over the holidays I'll be happy. The last two years I didn't really get to ski you know having a child and all so I am more than thrilled to get a few days in this year.
Oh and I got to try the Trek Speed Concept out finally!!! So I think I can make a decision soon but it won't be an easy one. I liked both the Specialized and Trek a lot!!
Happy Winter and Happy Training Everyone!
