Happy New Year!!


No, I'm not crazy.  I'm not looking at the wrong calendar.  I have just declared a "New Year" for myself.  It seems like since the actual New Year started I have been plagued with illness, injury, or both and I decided a needed a do-over.

This morning I woke up and my back feels better, the sun was shining, and it was March 1- which means Spring is officially just around the corner.  It felt like a good day - I felt happy - I felt like things were looking up.

I would like to say that all those happy thoughts magically put me back to 100%, but that's not the case.  However, I will attempt a 2 mile run in the morning - well a very, very light jog and see how I respond.  If that goes well hopefully I will ease back into my routine this week.  If it doesn't go well, I'm going to at least try to get back to the pool this week....I think I can handle that.  I will keep you posted.

When I got home from work it was still in the mid 50s.....ahhhhh mid 50s.  So I did get to enjoy a short walk with the Jack dog and the hubby.  We were all happy about that.

Keep those good thoughts coming my way - I think they are helping :)
