Christmas x3....and lots of shoes!

Well we have been back stateside now for almost 2 weeks.We have spent time with Roxanne's family which has been really nice. As for the running part, I was able to walk my favorite route in St. Pete, I really do love the "burg".



  I was also able to pick up all my shoes that had been shipped to the us. I do love the new Brooks pure line. My new pure connects will be my new favorites I can already tell.



I also was able to hit the gym once at the hotel and should be able to get there with my brother in-law today at some point. Then more walking at my parents house. I did find the steps at my father in-laws house. My gluteus are thanking them immensely. I got a massage from...well I guess she would be a colleague now. It was much needed and has been great for my arm and my wrist. I have eaten way too much junk and not enough workout time, so I am getting way to fat, so getting back to Penang and my routine with the gym is something I look forward to.It has been nice being home and seeing family and friends, we will continue our trek down south to see my parents, then it is back to St. Pete for Dr. appointments and then back on the plane on the 5th. It would have been nice to run in the cooler weather especially today when the temps are in the 60's (Fahrenheit). As for New Years resolutions, I don't tend to make them as a rule, I figure one day of the year should not make for changes in life, those changes should be constant throughout the year, anyway. I have resolved to run in 2012, and when I do to run with more joy and less competition, I do want to be healthier and to run better, however I think better might just be to enjoy the experience more. If anything this experience has taught me that I do love to run and I miss the fellowship and the pure joy of it. So I hope 2012 finds me running again and running happier! As for you loyal reader I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted and the joy of this season has filled your soul! I hope that 2012 finds you happy and healthy and as always running HAPPY!!

So I walked 5k twice now, once outside and once on the treadmill. It felt good but I still need to get stronger before I can run. So I continue to go to the gym, continue to attend my physio, ans keep my head up. I can't wait to run again. The Florida runner will be headed back to the burg, and I am looking forward to walking my old running route, hoping to grab some running buddies and getting them to slow down for just one day! Run happy loyal reader!
