February's Theme is...

RED VELVET!!

Are you as excited as I am? I already have my recipe picked out. It's Red Velvet Cheesecake! It just might blow my mind! I think I'm going to try to make it on or for Valentine's Day. Doesn't it look like a wonderful choice? What will you pick? Let me know and join in on the fun!

In other news, for the month of January I completed 38.1 miles. A bit behind schedule, but I am still proud of my progress. You can see it down the left hand side of the blog. Also, last night during my run I set some new personal bests-- I completed mile #2 in 7' 53". I was shocked at myself! My goal is to get back down to a 7'30" mile which was my fastest in high school, and now that seems more and more possible. I think if I can keep losing some weight, it will make it much easier. Also, overall I completed 3 miles in 27' 15" which is also my fastest 3 miles yet. I was a bit stressed out due to the weather conditions and the possibility that Lovebug's flight would be cancelled (which it was) so it felt good to run hard and not have to think about it. Exercise is my stress-relief and I am going to try to keep it that way.

Today we're having a snow day. Dora is curled up on my lap so that is helping me keep warm. I think I'm going to make some lunch and watch a movie on Netflix -- hopefully it will download. Then on to do some Zumba this afternoon! Making the most of this snow day, with or without Lovebug.

To life... full of circumstances beyond my control.

I love your 'mind over matter'; you will excel this yr! It is snowing and blowing here in NE also. The drifts are becoming insurmountable and rock hard 'til those snowplows get out to work, and i haven't seen any today. Tomorrow a high of 8 with a low of -10 with 20-30 mph winds--COLD describes it. But by Friday it is to be 30--SO GRAND! Have a good day, Tigger, I LOVE YOU!!! MOM
