I know I’m not the only one that feels like this after the holidays. For the past three months, every four weeks we’ve had another day of celebration and another several weeks of preparations and decorations. And you all know that I am a big fan of the holidays, any holiday, but I am also a big fan of when they are over and we can all get back to business as usual.
I love having a chance to celebrate with family and buy gifts to surprise people and seeing beautiful lights and trees everywhere I go, but it gets exhausting. All of the decadent meals and extra desserts… and extra alcohol. It’ll wear you out. We don’t think we make New Year’s resolutions because it’s a new year, it’s because we have to make up for everything we indulged in over the holidays!
I usually love a big New Year’s Eve party, with yummy foods and drinks and sparkly outfits, but this year, I’m thinking that an evening at home in some stretchy pants sounds more enjoyable. (Or maybe I’m just getting old…)
It has also been hard to get motivated as so many people have been off from work and there’s been so much going on that I haven’t been as good with my training. But that’s OK, the real training starts this week! We are just 15 weeks away from race day so it is definitely time to get things going. No better time to start than the beginning of a new year!
