On My Own

So, this colder weather just plain stinks.  I need to keep running through out this winter to make sure I don't lose all I've worked for- but it won't be 5 days a week (outside in the cold).  And no, I won't be running in a blizzard.

With all that said and done, I had to say goodbye to my wonderful running coach, for now, and I'll get to return to "No Excuses" tomorrow morning!  I absolutely LOVE that gym- I just can't afford them both.  It will be nice to get back and see some old friends... AND, it's warm... AND they have child care... AND they have music!  So, I'm on my own to navigate this winter running thing for a few months.  In January, I start training for the half marathon with the MS Team!  There's a non-official coach associated with that, so we'll see how that goes!

I'm thinking about doing another Healthy Holiday Challenge this year.  Anyone interested?

MS Wine Tasting Tour

On Saturday, my sister, mother, and I hopped on a bus, and checked out some really amazing wineries on the PA-NY border.

Though it didn't do much for my diet, having to down a gazillion of those little ball cracker thingies to keep standing (I'm generally down after 1 glass), we had a great time- and it was wonderful to spend some time with my family, amid these crazy hectic lives of ours!

While we were 'wining' my babies were Geocaching with Daddy!

...at a Frisbee Golf Course!

See any ghosts?  Me neither...

SOMEone's excited to get her wine!  :-)

We had a fantastic day!  Time to go home and burn it all of... that'll take a week or so....  :-)
