2011 Resolution Run

As I mentioned before, I took part in the 2011 Resolution Run, sponsored by Brita and put on by the Running Room. As a bonus for registering you get the fab limited edition jacket along with that warm fuzzy proud feeling for getting up on New Year's Day and doing something active rather than staying in bed. I was hoping that my new Garmin would come before the New Year so that I would be able to track all my distances and times for the year. It was kind of nice that it didn't though as it was rather nice just to put one foot in front of the other without thinking at all about speed and times.

starting the year off right!

Some Things That Are Currently Making Me (Very) Happy.....

*Disclaimer* I got embarrassingly spoiled for Christmas

My mitre saw c/o my parents:

(10" Ryobi Sliding Compound Mitre)

My cordless drill c/o Dave:

(1/2" 18V Dewalt)

My air rifle c/o my sister and her boyfriend:

(Remington Airmaster 77)

My Resolution Run jacket I picked up yesterday for my run on Saturday morning:

(Running swag from the Running Room)

My Christmas present to myself:

(Garmin Forerunner 305)

The bird feeder that Dave's parents got for me that I filled and hung last night:

(I waded through snow and climbed a ladder in the dark and am now anxiously awaiting feathered friends)

The snow block maker I bought this morning for $2.50:

(I've been on the hunt for one for a couple years)

My favourite stocking stuffer:

(Dave got me multivitamins. I thought it was romantic)

Another 5lb. box of blueberries c/o my parents:

I don't tend to shop or buy a lot of stuff throughout the year so to have so much new and shiny stuff all at once is pretty novel to me. It's crazy but I've only offered up a small sampling of my spoiledness. My Christmas was lovely and it was great to spend time with friends and family. Once we hit Boxing Day it was nice to see things slow down a little and Dave and I had a few days to relax and watch movies in bed. I'm looking forward to having the next week to play with some of my new stuff, stuffing myself with more chocolate and sweets and all around loving life.
