And so ends another year. The numbers this month are so far off from what I had expected for this, my return to running month, but between a family emergency consuming the first few weeks, traveling to Florida after that, then getting horribly sick, followed by straining an intercostal muscle, and then of course the holidays... it ended up being a bit of a wash. It is my hope beyond hope that going forward in to 2012 that all the crappy, no fun things are behind me and I can focus on getting back to 100%! Now on to the numbers:
Miles Ran: 3.1 COLLECTIVE MILES!!!
Meters Swam: 0 m - Whoops!
Miles Ran: 3.1 COLLECTIVE MILES!!!
Meters Swam: 0 m - Whoops!
Miles Biked: 0 M - Another Whoops!
Miles Elliptical'd: 7 M
Miles Walked: 8.05 M - Least amount of walks since my boot days! Add another whoops up in here!
Flights of Stairs Climbed: 104 Flights
Rest Days Planned/Taken: How ever many needed / 15
Current Reads: (Reading) Atonement by Ian McEwan; I just got started on this book, so no real formative thoughts on it yet.
(Finished) Bel Canto by Ann Patchett; I had a hard time getting in to this book but once all the characters were established and the story line picked up, I couldn't put it down and the ending blew my mind. Beautiful and tragic love story. Bossypants by Tina Fey; Entertaining. Fast Read. That's about it.
Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure: I'm still addicted to reading all the drama on the wedding boards, it's better than Reality TV!!!
Current Obsession: See above.
Current Drink: Always with the water.
Current Drink: Always with the water.
Current Song: "Ave Maria" has been stuck in my head for weeks!
Current Wish-List: No wishes needed over here, I am absolutely blessed right now.
Current Need: See above.
Current Triumph: The triumphant R2R!!! See also "Miles Ran" above. :)
Current Bane of my Existence: NOTHING! No more linking to that horrid injury page! YES!!!!!!!!!!
Current Goal: To make 2012 "The Year of the Redhead!!!" LOL!
Current Indulgence: Christmas Cookies. Mmmm....
Current Indulgence: Christmas Cookies. Mmmm....
Current Blessings: Being able to spend time and support those we care about during a difficult time and the continued love, encouragement, and support from my family, friends, all of you, and especially, le Spike.
Current Excitement: Tomorrow's fun run/walk and the impending new year! SOOO ready to put 2011 behind me for good! Bring on 2012!!!

Sorry but your whoops on the swim and bike made me chuckle! I love that song too, beautiful. Even though you are looking at what miles you didn't rack up, you my dear have accomplished so much during this year. You are amazing!
2 miles is still 2 miles, have a wonderful new year!
