What a totally awesome present, Kristen!!

Santa is getting me clipless bike shoes but I didn't have time to go pick some out. I'll be at the LBS after my run tomorrow! Can't wait!!

I have a question... what does "Enders Shadow" mean?

Have a very Merry one everybody!

Nice Santa, Kristen!!!  Yay!  I got a new IPOD, as my old one died months ago.  It will be nice to have some running music again.  The kids have been up since 7, although my 6-year-old was awake and wandering around at 2 AM and didn't go back to sleep (in my bed, of course) until 3:30 AM!  "Mommy, I am so excited that I can't sleep, can we get up??"  NOOOOOOO!!!!

Of course I will post some pix in my blog later on, that's how I roll.  It's snowing hard here again, but I am planning a run with the dog before the onslaught of grandmas.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Kristen, have I told you that I know Orson Scott Card's son?  He is a coworker of my husband.  Anyway.....just so's ya knows....only 3 degrees of separation there!  I have to admit I have not read the books...but will check them out, I am out of reading material!

Medusa Ann....name came after too many tequila shots.  I was arguing that all fictional or historical one-named characters must have had middle names.  My middle name is Ann....and suddenly, Medusa Ann was born, and it stuck.  It's been about 9 years and has been my screen name ever since, on many forums.

PS-I am soooo ready to get back into my training plan now.  Too much snow, too much holiday, too much everything.... hopefully Lynne and I are hanging out tomorrow...

My middle name is Ann, too. Lol, Hoofchick Ann...

I'm hoofchick because I trim horses' hooves as a part-time business. I'm cutting back, but it's still a passion of mine.

I just finished a whole bottle of cheap champagne and god-knows-how-much cookies and dip (a frosting type dip that accompanies cookies instead of chips). I am going to feel AWFUL when I get up tomorrow! But, my plan is 75 minutes on the TM to get back on track. Cross your fingers that I can get back on target?

I hope everybody had a great Christmas!

Hope you all had a wonderful Xmas! I got some marathon training stuff.  IE an awesome training book, some glide and TADA A STICK! OH JOY OH JOY!!!!!

Our family decided to try something a little different year and we bought each other gifts from Goodwill. I have to say that it worked really well! It's nice to get something different - and not at all tacky!  When we shopped there yesterday I found brand new rain pants for cycling. Still with the tags on and everything.  $5!!!!!  Brilliant   Well chuffed.  Speaking of chuffed I have eaten far too much and will have to run sometime to work off these pounds.  Goodness.

Funny though. I also got Yaktrax. LOL 

What a cool idea, shopping at Goodwill! I've been thinking about going there to do some clothes shopping when I get to my goal weight.

My plans today were to go do some time on the TM at the Y and then go shopping for some bike shoes. I kind of over-imbibed last night and I'm still trying to get my feet under me. Ugh! I'm too old for that crap! I wanna crawl back into bed...

Merry day after Christmas everyone!  Service has been pretty overwhelming, so no workouts for me recently .  But I'll be done Sunday and am taking Monday and Tuesday off.  I need a break!

My name is probably obvious- I am a mom, and an MD (in that order ).  I was in residency when I created it, and residency doesn't do much for your powers of creativity.

I'll probably surface again in a day or so...

enders_shadow - 2008-12-25 10:25 AM Merry Christmas, everyone! Look what was under my tree!

Awesome, Kris! I am so jealous! My goal is to get one with my tax return. You will have to let me know how you like it.

Eww, hope you get to feeling better, Lynne. Drinks lots! Water that is.

I think I'm back on the wagon. A little precariously, but there nonetheless. I kind of over-imbibed Christmas nights (a WHOLE bottle of champagne all by myself). And on top of that, countless munchies that I had no resolve to avoid due to said champagne. Yesterday morning (or afternoon) when I woke up, I felt like I'd been run over by a truck. Ugh! Actually, I may have posted all this already. Thurs. was a blur. Anyway, I finally dragged my hungover butt to the Y and felt much better afterward. Today, I feel totally human again. I did take a nap but more out of laziness than exhaustion.

I'm back!

I got back on the scale this morning, too. Up two pounds.

I'm waiting for DH to get home so I can go to the gym and do some time on the TM then swim.

Back to work tomorrow. Yuck! At least I only have to work Mon & Tues.

I am back from a quick trip up to Mt. Rainier in the snow.  Totally fun! More in blog.  Here's my stuff:

My January Goals

1.  Run a half marathon, not at race pace, Jan. 3.  Oh yeah, a 5k and jump into Lake Washington on New Year's Day.

2.  2 x bike/ 2 x swim/ 2 x strength per week

3.  Run 25 miles a week minimum, increase speed slowly but surely

4.  Lose up to 20 pounds fast and then 20 pounds slowly (remainder of season)  I am doing Jillian Michaels "Making the Cut" plan for 30 days.  Stay tuned.

5.  Start representing the Seattle LUNA Chix Triathlon Team.  Yes, that is my BIG NEWS.  I am the new member of the team, and am very excited!!!!  http://www.seattletrilunachix.com/Default.asp
