It's been about 2 weeks since my last post. The holidays were fantastic in so may ways. The kids had an unbelievable time and Santa was way too generous as usual. Katie and I are still assembling, constructing and organizing all of the kid's presents (e.g. I'm about 8 hours into putting together the Lego Death Star and I'm still only 75% done). As a parent, watching Christmas through the eyes of a 5 and 1 year old is a level of fun that really can't be described. New Years was quiet, but fun as well.
Personally, it was a "running" Christmas for me related to my gifts, which included the following:
Due to the fact that I've been on vacation since Christmas Eve, I have been able to get myself into a decent routine over the last week or so. Hopefully, things at work will be more manageable come Monday and I won't have too many issues sticking with the training plan. I've been trying to live somewhere between the "beginner" and "intermediate" plans Jack provided and, so far so good. I was planning to do 10-11 today, but with the snow and wind, that didn't really work out. I plan to hit the treadmill again tomorrow so that I can at least end up with 9-10 for the weekend in total. Not ideal, but given the weather, it's the best I can do. The only bad part is that it's going to make the 12 or so that I want to do next Saturday a little tougher.
On the fundraising front, people continue to be extremely generous and donations are still coming in almost daily, as I'm closing in on $3,000. To those that have already contributed, I can't thank you enough. It really means a lot to me.
It was a crazy 2009 in so many ways and I can already tell that 2010 is going to be a terrific year for all of us.
