It's Christmastime!

Ho ho ho and holly jolly and all that cheery stuff!


2010 has been a pretty good year for the Winters. We both have jobs, we have a teenager who still likes us and our cats only throw up occasionally!

Moving into 2011 James and I hope to keep our jobs, buy a house, keep up the exercise and really nail down some diet/food changes. Nick's working on A's (he's currently around a 3.0 gpa) and his goal of 24/7 computer gaming (good luck with that one buddy).

I had a New Year's Resolution at the beginning of 2010 to do the C25K (Couch to 5k) and then run the Portland Shamrock Run 5k. I succeeded at that and found that I like running so much I'm still doing it, I even made it easy on myself and made the resolution for only a 3 month time period in case I really hated it (because obviously, per it's name, the Shamrock run is in March).

For 2011 I don't have a specific resolution but I do have a few goals: I'll run the Portland Shamrock Run 10k (instead of 5k) and will run the Sound to Narrows in June in Tacoma. I keep toying with the thought of a half marathon but that thought goes away every time I go out on a run and realize how long 13.1 miles really is.

Merry Christmas to my family and friends, you all are what make life worth living. My wish for everyone I know is the same: health, happiness and good fortune :-)

Love Anne
