Christmas Eve!!

First of all, Merry Christmas everybody! I hope everyone gets to spend time with their families and the people that mean the most to them.

I have a slightly busy day today...but I am taking a minute to blog. I was up at 6 am this morning...why you ask..good ol' Ripley Roo wanted to go outside.. So after taking him out, I came back inside and played around online a little bit, then decided I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep, so I might as well get up and go work out. Today I did 30 minutes on the eliptical machine, 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, and 30 minutes on the treadmill. I wanted to do just a little extra to make up for the fact that I didn't make it to the gym tomorrow, nor will I be going tomorrow...and to make up for all the yummy food I will be eating over the next 2 days. I tried to run on the treadmill...tried being the key word...it was awful, the most embarrassing thing ever! I was dying. I only wanted to run 1/2 a mile, but instead it ended up being 2/10 of a mile...so after that debacle I decided to walk..but speed walk ya know. So I have set a new goal.... I want to be able to "easily" run an 11 minute mile by my birthday..We'll see how it goes. I know that isn't super fast or anything, but for me that would be an accomplishment.

Here are the rest of my plans for today.... go to the post office, do laundry, clean house, wrap 2 Christmas presents, take a nap, another shower, and get ready for Christmas Eve at Aunt BJ's house.... This doesn't seem like a lot..but since my washer is broken, I must take my laundry to the other house to do it...boo..Oh well at least we have a nice new t.v. there and they finally got cable!
