1/1/11

2010 was wonderful. 2011 will be even better. I really do think life just keeps getting better as I get older. Each year just seems to build on the last as I deepen current friendships and make more as time goes on. Here are a few snapshots from the New Year's weekend.

12/31/10- New Year's Eve. Joy was in town! Yea!!!! Here we are with Paul Sax, local running coach. I am surprised he recognized us, as Joy and I have avoided the local group track workouts like the plague. He probably thought we were telling a big fat lie when we explained that we still run quite a bit and love to run! (okay, that was a small white lie. We mostly love to run, except on the days it hurts/sucks/too cold/ knees or hamstrings hurt/run too slow/etc....)

Our New Year's crew kept growing as the minutes ticked on to 2011.

Damie, Joy, and Kathy enjoying the last few hours of 2010. What did we do in 2010? Joy married Jeremy in April 2010 and Kathy married Justin in April 2010. I was a spectator in 2010 :)

Hello 2011! Dave surprised me by joining me at the track today for some 400s to kick off our 1/1/11. (that earned him HUGE husband bonus points!). He ran with me for the first 400 while talking my ear off, pulled ahead for the next few when he realized I wasn't going to be talking, and then took off on the last one and finished almost 100 meters in front of me. Sandbagger! The crazy thing is he is so out of shape too, but can just bust out speed. That is what years of middle/high school track and xx + a million years of soccer will get you.

Jen, Laura, and Damie
And 1/1/11- attending my first wedding of the new year! Laura and Nick invited me to their gorgeous and fun wedding (groomsman riding his skateboard down the aisle type of fun!). I always feel so lucky and honored to be invited to weddings- to know that friends want me to share in their special day.

Jen and Damie! Jen was one of my great PT school buddies. Friends like her helped me get through the tough days. Now that we are done with school, she is diligently working on her 50 marathons in 50 states :)!

Here it is- another great year ahead of us! Go get it and make it happen!!!!
