As I mentioned the other day in my resolutions for 2009, I want to focus a lot more on my marathon training/running.
I’m a bit disappointed in myself for not making it out to the Resolution 5k this morning out at the Mount Vernon Trail – we didn’t do anything crazy last night, I fell asleep by 12:30 on the couch. We had dinner at Matchbox on 8th Street – delish just so you know, if you’re in the DC Area you should definitely check it out. The ambiance, food and service were all SUPERB. We then picked up a flask of Bacardi and if you caught my tweets (multiple…whoops) you’ll know we were probably the only jerks drinking in the near empty theatre while watching Marley & Me. I had just finished the book yesterday and today Fiance is happily engrossed in it. The movie was great – a real tear jerker. There were certain things that were missing that I felt could have been added but all in all they did a pretty great job with it.
We then came home and rang in the New Year with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin which was a HILARIOUS pairing on television, and drank some Martini and Rossi Asti - a sweeter champagne that I’ve had once with my family. I picked up a bottle of sparkling red champagne also, Fiance loves trying new wines/champagnes that are interesting.
I digress, new year, new project so pop on over to my new Fitness blog – there will be running playlists, workouts, book reviews/magazine reviews, sharing of running related articles, healthy recipes…go check it out – Fitness in Pink!
Mostly I’m going to be tracking my own training – workouts, track workouts, long runs, and of course my race reports for the 8k, 10 miler, and two marathons I have planned for next year. Go over there - I haven’t yet posted anything, I’m still working on the theme and getting it set up but it’ll be up and running ASAP!

I think it’s fabulous that you’re this dedicated. Seriously.
Good luck & happy, happy new year!
LOVE the new look and am so happy for you and the new blog! I’m doing my first half marathon in February and I look forward to being able to check out all your stuff. Happy new year!
Exciting! Can’t wait to read all about it
Good for you! I need to find your kinda motivation… and quick!
I think this is the year to be running and starting fitness blogs. My half is in 9 weeks, and I’m determined to run it this time!
I couldn’t get the people I was with to shut up so I could focus on Kathy and Anderson! I figured they would be so funny!
Personally, I love the idea of your New Year’s Eve. I would have much rather been doing that than what I was doing.
Great idea for a new blog! I found that blogging about Weight Watchers made me commit to it a bit more. I need to get back on that wagon.
I’m loving the new project! I need something like that — the more people to hold me accountable, the better.
I’m looking forward to reading about the fitness! Happy new year to you!
I LOVE the M&R Asti. So my favorite.
I’d also been meaning to thank you for the sweet Christmas card! I was totally lame and didn’t send out cards myself, but it was still a treat to find a few in my mailbox.
