I figure that since I survived the Shamrock Shuffle 5K in March, I should probably do another one, just to prove to myself that it wasn't a fluke! My hubby agreed to to it with me. There will be lots of people: active duty military, retired military like me & my husband (it's a mixed-marriage: I'm retired Army and he's retired Air Force), family members and supporters. <BR> <BR> Who knows?

The holidays are over now and 2013 is upon us. We celebrated the holidays with family this year, which was wonderful. My son is in the Air Force and he was able to take six days of leave and come to SC from his base in TX. It was great having him home. Also, my mom & step-dad came to visit from PA.

So I watched it during my workout and surprise, I got so distracted by the movie that I was able to go longer on both the elliptical and the treadmill! And I was able to increase my speed by .5 mph!

I tell myself I hate working out... but actually, I do like to ride my bicycle. I just don't do it during the week because it's dark when I get home. But Saturday is another story: tomorrow I plan to go for a long bike ride while my hubby is playing golf. Who knows?
