The New Year!

Somehow Christmas has come and gone. It was a quiet but nice Christmas. We spent the day at Erin's with her, Josh and Steve and Colleen as well as their mother and hew husband. A little stressful but nothing that a couple of Mimosa's can't take care of. I guess I just decided to let the past be the past and move on or at least do the best I can.

Running is okay. I had a great run on Saturday and felt terrific. (only about 5 miles) I was thrilled. It was fun! But then I went out again yesterday (Sunday) and had a terrible run! The weather was very warm and humid so I'm sure that that was a factor, but still, I didn't expect to feel that poorly! Thank God for tomorrows!!!! Me and Scarlett!

I went to the doctors today for my physical and everything looks pretty good but I am low on Vit D and the doctor thinks I have a low thyroid. This would account for several of the ailments that seem to be plaguing me right down to my recent bout with Vertigo. He recomended supplements and caltrate to see if that helps. I go back in 3 months to get retested and if it's still slow, he'll give me drugs. Apparently one of the symptoms is weight gain and difficulty with weight loss so that would explain my problems with that. (although my diet has not been very good lately! I'm also going to take the 2 week carbohydrate intolerage test again. It's funny cause I was planning on doing that at the first of the year anyway and now it's a recommendation for my symptoms! I guess it was meant to be.

I've been busy with work at the Spa as well as with running club stuff. There is so much I'd like to do with the club although I'm not exactly sure why. I don't even run with them cause I'm so slow. Hopefully the club will grow and I'll have members to run with as well as improving my running. Lots of goals for the new year and that will be my next post. As much as I love the holidays, it's always nice to have them behind us and get on with our goals and routines! Speaking of routine, I"m off to the dentist!!!
