When it's 32 degrees in Miami, nobody goes outside so you can't fault me for not working out.
However, I will go running tomorrow because it seems that it will be at least a halfway decent temperature. I wore socks, mockisons (sp:), jeans and two sweaters to bed last night and I was nice and toasty.
Thank God I'm not doing the half marathon in New York because I'm sorry, I just wouldn't do it. I've become a Miamian, after almost ten years of being here, I've become a warm weather creature who only thinks that they love the snow.
So tomorrow morning, I'll don my running gear and sweater and go for my three mile run. Or four miles, depending when I wake up. I might go to the gym Wednesday night and run on the treadmill. I've got to get up to ten miles or I'll never make it in three weeks.
I've been eating up a storm, probably hibernation kicking in but I don't want to be heavier on the day of my run so I'm implementing Thin Within in my head starting this week. No more eating unless really hungry. Small snacks so that I don't get hypoglycemic.
Praying for the weather to change just enough to be great for running.

Nike JUST DO IT!
My morning started like this:
"quack quack quack (my IPOD alarm)"
husband: "aren't you going to get up"
me: "no, leave me alone"
10 minutes later.........
"quack quack quack"
husband: "aren't you going to get up and make me some tea?"
me: "no, leave me alone"
10 minutes later.........
"quack quack.....shut this thing up!"
"Babe are you going to get up and make me some tea".
"no"
But I get up, get dressed and put the tea on the fire and go out the door for my three mile run. Today was awesome. The cold air, the music-
"I see heaven, you have opened my eyes, I feel forever when your heart is close to mine. The moment you set me free, is the moment you captured me...."
Try listening to that as the sun's rising on a beautiful crisp winter morning. You could run for miles and not know it. I didn't walk once! HA!
Then when I get home I hear Lance Armstrong and some other lady I have never heard of tell me "congratulations you've just had a new personal best" Thank you Nike.

HEAL
My book "Heal" should be coming today in the mail and I'm really looking forward to reading it. I read "Thin Within" last year and it changed my mind about my body and food.
I am so tired I don't even feel like writing, I think it's the weather. It makes me want to light a fire and watch movies all day.
So the fearlessness for January 2010 goal is:
Complete the 1/2 Marathon
What will February be?
I think it might well be volunteering for Disney's Nature Preserve. Why would this be combatting fear you ask? I'll tell you. It's because I've been afraid of taking the time, asking my husband to go with me and spending the money to go up there. That's alot of fear that seems so trivial.
Or it could be buying a bike and getting over my fear of riding it on the streets of Miami. Will finish 2010 January 31st First.

Lazy Lazy Lazy
Wow, the holidays wiped me out and the cold weather is very discouraging. How do people in Minnesota prepare for a race in the winter? I wouldn't be able to do it!
All I want to do is sleep.
Last night I went to Whole Foods and spent $40 on basically nothing. I think half of it was gone by the time I reached home. There is something about eating healthy that makes you want to eat alot.
So, tomorrow AM I run. Saturday I sucked and didn't do the full 7 miles (only did 3 actually). My leg started hurting and after my Nike + workout failed to record my entire first mile, I basically gave up. I went home and laid around till the afternoon when I went to my friend's 30th spa party and drank sangrias and mango wine. I'll have to double my efforts this week if I want to retain any of my fitness.
Still trying to get the appointment with my doctor for the fat deposit that is crippling my life. I was always adamant about not getting liposuction and here I am, forced to get it for some stupid little quarter-sized lump on my leg. Sorry to be so negative- I'm tired. I haven't had caffeine.
It's hard to recover after almost two weeks of holiday.
WAKE UP!! I am waking up. getting myself together for tomorrow!
