P365 - 2016 - Day 7 - at least it's not Polar Vortex cold

P365 - 2016 - Day 7 - at least it's not Polar Vortex cold

So, on Facebook today, a photo memory showed up on my timeline.  It was a photo of the bay completely frozen over.  Two years ago today were fully in the grip of the "Polar Vortex".  We have been very lucky with temperatures the past few months and even though this week's temperatures dropped, that photo put things into perspective.   I made a new winter frame and the sentiment is accurate - Baby, it's cold outside... that is true.  But at least it's not Polar Vortex cold.  That right there is the glass half full (and not frozen).

P365 - 2016 - Day 6 - Cold air...don't care

I might be nuts to run in twenty degree temperatures at night but My Wonderful Husband takes the prize for winter surfing.  Cold air....don't care.   The temperatures dropped but that wasn't going to stop him from enjoying his remaining winter break days to surf.  The only problem was that it was too cold outside for his wetsuit to dry so he needed to bring it inside to sit in front of the fireplace.

I wasn't about to let the sudden cold temperatures keep me from my scheduled run.   After getting home from work, feeding everyone, and going over homework, I piled on the layers, convinced My Wonderful Husband to join me for a bit and set out on my 6 mile run.  Twenty something degrees and dark but I got it done.

P365 - 2016 - Day 4 - I love doing this!

Better late than never... we all took some time to "review" lasts year's resolutions, reflected on 2015, and set some goals and resolutions for 2016.  I love doing this!

P365 - 2016 - Day 3 - this fan

P365 - 2016 - Day 3 - this fan

Sundays are made for football.... The "guys" spent the day watching all of the games, rooting for all of their teams.  Unfortunately the Jets didn't make it to the playoffs, so this fan was bummed.  But his dad and brother were happy because the Redskins and the Steelers did.

P365 - 2016 - Day 2 - new nails

P365 - 2016 - Day 2 - new nails

New year...new nails... I finished all of the "undecorating" and cleaning and rewarded myself with a new year manicure.  I am all set to go back to work.

P365 - 2016 - Day 1 - What better way

P365 - 2016  - Day 1 - What better way

I started the new year by taking down the decorations, cleaning, and planning my marathon training schedule.  What better way to start the new year than by mapping out a new goal?  The marathon is May 1st so I have mapped out my calendars from now until then with all of the runs I will need to do to be ready to rock this run.  I also decided to take on a 1000 mile challenge for the year.  I plan to use the app "Charity Miles" to earn money for different organizations by tracking my miles.   I am "running it forward".  Here's to a great 2016!!
