Hello hello. I am a Flyers fanatic, a runner, a triathlete, an animal lover, a workout maniac, a stickler for proper grammar, and a lover of challenging Sudoku and crossword puzzles, good books, and great tunes. This blog is about most of those topics -- running, racing, the Flyers, my critters, class ideas, and my deep (and not so deep) thoughts. Please leave comments! I love reading them.

2012 Fitness Resolutions
Well, maybe not resolutions. They're goals, but since we're nearing the end of the year I thought I'd call them resolutions. Basically, these are things I'd really like to do in the next 12 months to shake up my routine a bit and make it, well, less routine.
Here they are, in no particular order:
- Try mountain biking
- Do an adventure race (preferably a longer one, 9-10 miles)
- Run a marathon
- Get to yoga at least once a week, if not twice a week
- Do an indoor triathlon
- Run more trails
Like how I slipped that marathon in there, hoping you wouldn't notice or comment about it? :)
Leave a comment and tell me your fitness goals for next year. I'd love to read them.

Well THAT was disappointing
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read any further unless you want to see who won the Biggest Loser.
Did anyone else think the Biggest Loser finale last night was odd? The reactions of the two winners -- at-home prize and grand prize -- were... off. Like not at all excited that they just won all that money.
First, Jennifer, the at-home prize winner. Her win seemed rushed by the network. Not her fault, to be sure. But it seemed like she was more concerned with flirting with Bob (honey, you have the WRONG equipment for him! give it up!) than with her win. I mean, if I had just won $100K, I would have been jumping up and down and screaming like a nut. But she just wanted to go straddle Bob. (Stalker much????)
And then John, the big winner. In full disclosure, I must admit that I was rooting for Antone from the first day. As the show went on, John became less and less likeable. So I was disappointed that he won. But again, after winning $250K and the title of the Biggest Loser, wouldn't you be more excited? He just looked like, "Yeah. Told you I'd win." Asshat.
Remind me again why I get sucked into this nonsense every season???

Chills
First you have to understand that Here Comes the Sun is hands down my favorite song of all time. Don't believe me? Read all about it here.
Then you have to see this pic, sent to me by my brother when he visited the Grammys Museum in LA last week.
My goosebumps have goosebumps right now. Amazing.
