Yesterday was a lot of fun! We just played games, ate pizza (way too much and way too salty, I am so bloated today!!), and watched the countdown. We celebrated on East Coast time, we had yummy sparkling apple cranberry cider and then crashed out.
Because I was up until after 11 I didn't get up to run this morning before work. That meant I had to get my resolution runs in after dinner. Traditional New Year's Day dinner is beans in our family, which I love, but beans do not make for the happiest running tummy!! I got my 5K for Daily Vitamin K's last run of the holiday run series and then I got in a mile for RunToTheFinish's Resolution Fun Run. I got my 4.1 done in 43 minutes, not my best time, but I felt pretty great so I'll take it!
In case you can't read my resolution it says-
"Run at 26 minute 5K"
I am done posting for tonight! Now I'm going to relax and get ready for bed after I finish watching a HORRIBLY creepy movie The Resident!
I think running a race is a great way to start off the new year!
ReplyDeleteNice job getting your runs in! Is beans on ny's from a particular tradition? My mom always made pork and sauerkraut, with mashed potatoes. We don't make it now, but she still does. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon.
ReplyDeleteLaura, its a superstition thing, eat poor on the first and eat rich for the rest of the year. I continue it just because I like the idea of an ongoing tradition and I like beans!
You have a gorgeous family. Seeing all of your Virtual Races is inspiring me to find some to run in 2012!
ReplyDeletefun pics of you all celebrating!!! such a sweet fam! hope you had a wonderful holiday season :)
ReplyDeleteI love traditions! You have a beautiful family. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteYour NYE sounds much like ours: food filled and low key but fun! Way to get the run in.
ReplyDeleteI could not find black eyed peas for the life of me!
