What a great way to start the new year. A day of a whole lot of nothing. We had a nice chili left from last night and we threw in some left over steak to make another meal out of it. Then tonight we added more hamburger meat and some sausage. Great. Lots of football, family, and a nice long nap. Of course I am behind again on laundry and a little house work but the day of relaxing was worth it.

1/2 marathon training starts tomorrow. Wish me luck. Taking it slow and really building some base this year. Avoiding injury and gaining strength are part of the plan. It also helps being 45 pounds lighter to start out. Can't wait until May to see what it will feel like at hopefully 100 pounds lighter.
