Despite the head colds and alcohol I managed to train a bit over the holidays. I got to spend some wonderful time with family and friends. I got to spend a few days without thinking about deadlines and training goals. I am refreshed. I ran The Great New Years Eve Race on.....New Years Eve (of all days), bettering my time from last year by nearly a minute. Then, it was time to raise a glass of champagne at the witching hour to toast a year of goodness. Most folks wish for prosperity in the coming year. So do I. Only I do not wish for material wealth, but rather richness of life. What do I want for all of us in 2008?
New Beginnings.
The beginnings that reside somewhere in your solar plexus
Until you release them by living them.
Like your first day of school. Or your first day of college. Or your first time performing in front of a large crowd. Or if your not like me and got "all kinds of game," like an important first date.
New Beginnings....like January 1, 2008.
Waiting like a blank piece of paper for the writing.
A clean canvas for the color.
A spotless life for the living.
I started off the first day of 2008 with a trail run accompanied by Sage Doggie Dogg as the snow fell:
I hope that 2008 holds many good things for all of us. Smiles. Hugs. Accomplishments. You know, the good things. It's what we make of it.......

Great post! Congrats again on the race. Your trail run this morning looked like a great time!
Here's to 2008, new beginnings and all the wonderful things to come! :)
Isn't it lovely? I love new years - fresh starts, fresh snowfalls, and that good stuff.
Congrats on your fast New Years race, you drunkard. (Giggled aloud at the lifted leg shot of your pup, by the way... a classic pose, that is.) And your early season bike tour looks like fun!
Cheers! Here's to jumping off piers.
Happy New Year B Bop! See ya at the multisport races in 2008!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Your dog is sooo pretty!
For the record, in the raised leg pic Sage had already "lifted his leg" and was following through on the routine by "kicking up some dirt," or in this case some snow on his "spot." On NYE I learned that dogs do this because they have scent glands on their feet.
Hmmmm.
Congrats to a great 2007! Can't wait to see what 08 holds!
My parents dog does that same move...they even look a little similiar except mine is smaller!
Oh we are definitely up for the trade anytime...I just wasn't in for the New Years Eve race!
Hmmm...missed seeing you over the holidays.
Blessings to you this year! Can't wait to see what we all do and learn!
The bike tour looks like a good plan. I may have to join you for that one.
My feet have scent glands also. Most notably I leave that scent in my running shoes........Happy new year....
