Starting off 2014 Right!

I feel like my 2014 has gotten off to a good, albeit slow start.  The "Polar Vortex" kept us cooped up and unwilling to do much of anything.  That usually happens when you're freezing in a house with no power and wind chills are deep in the negatives.  We obviously survived and found ourselves immensely grateful to have a house with even a modicum of heat (my lowest was 50), grateful for neighbors who let us crash at their place for the day, and grateful to have enough clothes to pile on.  I found my ski goggles and found them to be a huge help in keeping the face protected.  I dare say, my face was warm under all of that.  Fingers and toes, fingers and toes....that's what gets cold.



 So I felt like my 2014 began AFTER the polar vortex tore through the area.  It was actually kind of nice to start after the "rush" of the new year.  Things I'm going to do this year include the 52 week money challenge and getting out of debt, well, at least a lot out of debt.  With my truck payments ending soon, this is the year it can happen.  I need to make it happen.

T25 is happening.  To spice up my running and include some cross training, I started T25.  I have done P90X in the past but the 25 intense minutes that comes with Shaun T's workouts keeps it going and soon, you're done!  Sore and tired but done.  I like how a lot of what he focuses on and stretches are the same muscle groups and actions we use when we ride.

Riding-Anthony and I are going places this year.  Possibly to Florida this winter to ride with Nancy for a week and even some shows.  He's a good guy.  Weird, lacking in trust (but chose me?), but so crazy athletic and smooth.

And work....so far, getting lots of projects done after it became tolerable to be outside.  :-)

Getting things done.  Going places.  :-)
