Catching up for month of December!! Working with a trainer three x a week on M W F and biking outdoors Tues, Thurs & Sat weather permitting. Spin classes indoors on the bad weather days. I feel myself getting stronger. My heel is still problematic as my year old plantar fascitis seems to rear its ugly head from time to time. Tiger balm, naproxen, and my orthotics have become good friends as has a water bottle of frozen water to ice the foot.
Christmas was complete family time!! Darci and family came from Denver and bunked in for 6 days. We had 16 people in our house for the better part of those days. Our DW was emptied three times a day!! X box Kinect was the hit gift. Shirts with a built in guitar, remote helicopters, spy watches, I Pod touch, and my favorite gifts were Keen cycling sandals and a mug with family photos. Having all the family together outweighed all the gifts!!!!
The photo shoot on 12/6 with 12 other ladies for "black dress cycling calendar" was fun. I happen to be December!! The calendar has been printed (with our ages??!!) and proceeds go to a charity that helps to educate kids about cycling safety etc. We are hoping it may also inspire other women to cycle or exercise in some way. Tomorrow, we have an open house at "Family Bicycles" in their new location to celebrate and promote this "first edition" of the "black dress" calendar, so the "black dress" will be worn again!!!! (Never mind that we have had two open houses to celebrate the calendar already!).
My thoughts for the new year are many. I pray for a healthy body to be able to attempt the Kili climb in September. I am so thankful for the times when my entire family can be together. There are sixteen of us and everyone is precious!! My current friends are very dear to me!! I treasure my friendships and enjoy time spent with them. I also look forward to new friendships this coming year.
