Wow, that was quick. I wasted no time enjoying post marathon recovery. Eating was like a past time;) Guess I got to get back to it again! First things first: The Great Cookie Bake of 2008. I'll be heading out shortly to bake holiday cookies with my mom and her friends at her friend's son's bakery. Hope y'all like cookies:-)

Anyway, no running the past week. I did get addicted to Wii Fit though. According to this device, I'm 40 in Wii Fit years! Yikes. Scary. Of course we realized after that the board was turned the opposite direction so...when it said go left, we would have to go right (ie completely reversed!). It makes it quite difficult when you are trying to keep balance and it says go left and you go left...haha! My parents got really into it too - while not a replacement for the great outdoors, there are quite a few core exercises that can be useful.

I also got my mom set up on her new laptop and created a home network for the desktop and laptop. See, I can never get away from my day job!

Finally - good to see they've managed to identify the obvious:

Gee, is that really news? *sigh*

Hope everyone had a good turkey day! Off to bake cookies until the midnight oil burns;)

Blizzard warning

Well I suppose I can't say I didn't see this one coming! You knew winter was there waiting to strike...waiting for what? I don't know. Should be fun to hear the 40mph winds and 50-60mph wind gusts tonight...ahh winter. I'm ready though. I've got my ingredients for chicken chili and a batch of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Oh yes, it is not a true winter storm until you bake/cook...at least in my family:) I'm kind of excited...an excuse to bum around!

I got my 10 mile run in today since tomorrow looks like it may be ok in the afternoon but not 10 mile weather. I truly am a metronome....I wanted to do this run at a relatively easy pace since this is more of a "get the miles in" run than anything else.  Sempre Libera and pink monkey joined me for the run.  The first Central Park loop we did at a 8:48 pace....and it truly was that pace as I don't think we slowed/sped up.  We followed that up with the bridal path (2.5 mile variety) at 8:46min/mile and the reservoir to finish things up at 8:33min/mile (deceiving since its really flat and you tend to speed up without really knowing it).  All in all came out to 1:28:32 or an 8:46min/mile. 

Just put the chili on and what do I see outside? The snow has begun to fall! Bring it on!  8-12 inches....fun!  And what is it about watching the weather when the snow falls?  It's ridiculous...it's not like we haven't seen snow before:-p  My favorite portion is when they have the mandatory snow plow shot...ahh winter is here!

So I decided to make some peanut butter cookies this afternoon since I missed out on my usual cookie making during the week due to the transit strike!
