The Dopey Challenge, which is pretty much all I will be doing in January, plus recovery from it! I also joined a Half Marathon training group that runs in Lake Como, to keep me moving all winter!

You are kicking butt and taking names!
December was out of control. We lost our sweet 13 year old pug, Oscar, which devastated me and made it really hard to get into the holiday spirit. This was juxtaposed with an incredible vacation to Atlantis, my mom and stepdad visiting for the holidays, and a wonderful Christmas.
January is going to be busy, too. I’m running my second half marathon, going to Disney, little man is starting his flag football games and we are planning a trip to Tampa. No rest, ever.
Happy New Year!
