11.5 hours left...

Last day of 2011...
I slept in until 8:30 and then went for a 5 mile run.  It was my second day of 5+ miles (which I never do), so my body is not happy with me right now.  Shocker.  We're on vacation so I just have to do what I have to do in terms of activity.

Its been nice to have a few days away from the normal routine and craziness of life, but at the same time I find comfort in structure and like to feel productive.  Needless to say, there is little productivity going on with 3 couples under the age of 30 staying at a beach house for 4 days.  This is like college...minus the frat parties and walk of shame.  We're having a great time and gearing up for tonight's festivities.  Yes, I will probably have to take a nap just so I can make it to midnight.

As far as New Years resolutions go I haven't really made one yet,...ha...way to plan Meredith.  What are some of your resolutions?? 

Ok, game time.  Here we come 2012!!  Enjoy the last day of 2011...

Counting down...

Tuesday?...Wednesday?...my days are completely screwed up and honestly it feels like one long Monday.  I am pretty exhausted and looking forward to our New Years festivities with friends.  Although, I do find it ironic that we often spend the first day of the year with a hangover and convinced our heads will explode at any moment.  Right,...nothing says Happy New Year like a hurting liver...

Workout today was good even though I wasn't totally all there.  I felt a little distracted...I hate that feeling.  Anyway, it was leg day.  I switched up my leg press today and went on the assisted pull-up machine instead.  The only problem was that I had to get death-grip on the thing to keep from shooting in the air every time my knee came up.  It was a good change,...more glutes involved...and will probably feel it tomorrow during my sprints.
I measured my quads the other day because I could have sworn they looked bigger.  But its the winter-and-everything-looks-bigger-when-pale phenomenon.  Not having a tan is about as fun as mono.  I don't enjoy it, and I'm sure that everyone who has to look at me doesn't enjoy it either.  Some people have beautiful fare skin....I'm not friends with you people during the winter because I just look like I have pneumonia.  My point was that my quads have not grown and I was just having "a moment."  Sigh of relief...

Tomorrow is back and core and then cardio until Monday...next week I am starting my strength phase, creatine cycle until the end of February.  That's the plan if I am doing the June 20th show.  Dieting will start February 18th.  That day will be here before I know it.  Brace yourself...

Ok, time for bed...night!!
