Two weeks until my half. I figured I'd better put in some mileage, so today I did 9 1/2 miles. I haven't done a long run in quite awhile. It wasn't too bad. I feel tired, but I'm not sore. I should be able to make it okay. I'm really starting to like my spin classes, so it's hard to decide whether to run or spin. I also want to find time to put in the stair climber.
By the way, is anyone out there doing any running?
Sorry to hear about Pepsi. It's hard when you lose a pet. I know you guys really loved him.

Still Spinning
I've stuck with my spinning classes. Now I look forward to them, but I still have a sense of dread when I go to the class. It's a great way to burn off calories and it seems like my legs are getting stronger. I ran yesterday, 5 miles in the wind, I walked more than normal because the wind made me feel like I wasn't getting anywhere. I still managed to come in under my 11 minute mile. My legs are sore today though.
Two more weeks for my 1/2 marathon -- not sure if I'm going to be ready for it.
We spent most of the weekend in the hospital, papa went in Friday night because he said he has been blacking out. The tests didn't show anything, and when the doctor came to talk to him has said he didn't blackout, he just lost his balance. So, papa is home now with conditions -- he's not supposed to drive and he's supposed to use a walker. He already wasn't listening when Bonnie and Sammy got him home. Say some prayers for him so he doesn't hurt himself (or someone else).

Update
It's been awhile since I've written. Let me quickly go over some things we've done. We had Christmas Eve at my house -- I sent everyone pictures through Ofoto.com. Jeff, I don't have your email address, send it to me so I can put you on the list. Christmas was quiet with me, Chuck, Amber, Chuckie, Corey and Vihanney. I slept most of the day. Christmas was real nice this year -- I enjoy having the family around. We missed those of you that couldn't make it -- Hope you had a great Christmas. :)
Now for my running -- I haven't done much. I have a 1/2 marathon in February and I can only run about 4 miles right now. I am going to have to really start training to get my mileage up. Needless to say, I won't be doing the marathon. I don't have enought time to get in shape.
I have been to about 4 spin classes. Last night was the latest. It's still real hard, but I'm doing better. I still dread the class. I can't wait until I get past that feeling. I know it's a good workout so I'm going to keep trying.
My New Year's resolutions this year:
1. To work out in some way every day
2. To devote time morning and night to reading the Bible
