goodbye 2011

2010 was the year of nausea and 2011 was the year of irritated skin (or as big clyde said, my redshirt season). here's hoping 2012 brings a full return of "normal" health.

december - 2.35 miles (one walk). extremely lazy. 30-days of no-exercise, but still sugar-free! longest walk, 2.35 miles.

"trip" of the month - tour of my own town. hey, christmas was expensive.

went to a "painting class"
(those new trendy ones where you paint drink wine)

dined at trio

went to a minor-league hockey game

and learned that babies will find every morsel on the ground
and try to put it in their mouth

  4. Did you paint that? It's gorgeous. I'm jealous of your skills. You should open an etsy shop and give me half the profits because it was my idea to open the shop in the first place.

  5. I like your painting :). I'm hoping to do more of that this year too! You still got a lot of miles in for the year even being injured for so much of it, and I like how your friend called it a redshirt season, haha :).

    Best wishes in 2012!

  9. Your mileage is still higher than mine and I ran every month. I don't count my walking miles though so I have no idea what it would be if I did.

  10. At least the whole year wasn't a big zero, right? I know it sucks, but thankfully you have (for the most part) had a good attitude. You're young and once the health conditions get all strengthened out, you will come back kicking some serious butt (at least mine :)).

  11. Tell 2011's run totals to suck it and let's all look forward to 2012. I know I am.

  14. In lieu of our rather craptastic 2011 I propose we do a race together at some point this year. I have no idea when or how far but surely we can come up with something right?!?!?

  16. How do you log all this? I'm amazed at your recall, & keep track very poorly. My log is crap - I can barely tell what I did last week.

    Here's hoping for a HEALTHY 2012!

    Happy New Year!

  19. For not being able to run much at the end of hte year your mileage was still pretty impressive. Here's hoping you can run a ton more in 2012!
