Happy New Year!
2006 was a great year for me. 2007 has the potential to be even better (and busier - if that's possible).
Already on the schede is a trip to Phoenix for the RNR-AZ marathon in less than 2 weeks, a ski trip to Beaver Creek, CO the first weekend of March, a tentative trip to Nashville for the Country Music Marathon followed the next day by the OKC Memorial Marathon, a trip to San Diego in June for RNR-SD, and a trip to New England in July with Courtney to see her old stomping grounds.
It's going to be a busy first half of the year. Fun. But busy.
And expensive, to0.
But that's where my New Year's resolution comes into play. I usually avoid these because, well, I just do. But this year, my resolution makes too much sense. I have decided to bring my lunch to work at least three times a week. This will be a huge change for me who, last year, may have brought my lunch to work a total of three times the entire year.
Not that I ate out every day. I would occasionally go home.
And it's not that I don't feel like I have to eat out because I don't like to cook. I am an excellent cook.
It's more that I need a break from the lab during the day. And leaving for lunch was an easy way to make that happen. But not spending money on lunch means an extra $15-20 a week. So I think I can justify the extra time with co-workers.
Plus, there will be an added bonus of eating healthier.
I think I can make this work.
Oh, and I did run 8 miles on Saturday. The Achilles is, for a lack of a better word, still working. It isn't totally pain free. But really, when was the last time any of us were totally pain free? So, at this point, I am just going to go with it.
