This morning I woke up NOT bright and early (I’m still on California time) and went for a run. I wanted to do a long run, but it’s hard for me to stay on track in Florida (late start, not the best eating, feeling like I’m taking over the day running). But, I did 12 miles today and I’ll probably do 12 tomorrow for a back to back LR. 
When we came out in August I did the same thing – ran 13 and then 12. I was training for New York at the time. Now I’m training for something else. TBA on New Year’s (not because I’m mysterious, mostly because I need to figure everything out).
Breakfast – I think this is the best omelet I’ve ever made – I had to document 
Winner of the Under Armour Hoodie Giveaway… 
It’s pretty quiet here so I think I’m going to relax with my book – Gone Girl. 
I am thinking up my 2013 goals too – do you have yours yet?

You’re dedication to running is really amazing…
I absolutely loved Gone Girl – I hope you enjoy it too!
I agree- I loved Gone Girl too. i was on the edge of my seat as I read it. Monica- you will love it!!! congrats on the awesome long run today!
I am working on my 2013 goals today and reflecting on my 2012.
Congrats to Laura!
Can’t wait to hear what you’re training for!!
Gone Girl is so good. Dark, but good. I’m reading Dark Places right now (literally taking a break to blog surf because it’s heavy stuff) and have already read Sharp Objects. Man, her books are twisted but hard to resist.
My main goal for 2013 is to drop some LBs. Original, right? I had my daughter over a year ago, ran my first (and only, so far) HM last January when she was 5 months, but am having a hard time with motivation to get out and run (esp in the cold) and not overeat!
Just wrote a post about it! I feel like I did a life overthrow….who’da thunk there’d be so much to improve on? I do love my life now so I was surprised I wanted to improve on so much.
Such a good read! I’m only half through and I’m loving it!
Loved that book!! Enjoy!
Oh my gosh. Gone Girl was amazing. Once I started reading after having it for 5 months I could not put it down. Enjoy!
I hear a marathon on the horizon
You mean you hear me huffing and puffing and cussing myself out in my head about how I said I wasn’t going to do another one, but still signed up? Then, yeah. Maybe.
My 2013 aims are:
Complete a half marathon in under 2 hours
Complete a marathon
Improve my parkrun pb (5km time trial in UK and beyond)
Participate in 10+ different parkrun courses
Blog more regularly

I’d also like to drop a few kgs……..
Looking forward to seeing your resos.
I loved Gone Girl!
I want back to back long runs!!! My daughter ran twice today … her second time was supposed to be with me … I skipped in lieu of making dinner … I am supposed to really start the 31st … great way to end the year and the 1st great way to begin, right!
Gone Girl is an awesome book – bit twist you don’t expect – enjoy!
I just read Gone Girl last week – such a great book!
I’m on the waiting list for “Gone Girl”–hoping to get it soon! I am also thinking up my goals for 2013. I try to pick one from each big area in my life: health, fitness, job, family, spiritual. Once I choose the goals, I try to create a plan to achieve–quite a process but *usually* it brings success.
Gone Girl was such a good book! I couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t believe how it ended!
I’m suspecting a marathon announcement is coming our way. I kneeeew you couldn’t stay away from it! I’m glad you’re addicted because, well, I could use the inspiration!
You are encouraging. Keep going!
Happy New Years!

I hope you love, “Gone Girl” as much as I did. It’s soooo twisted, but kept my attention!
Whaaaaat you’re training for a baby? Hahaha. I bet it’s a tri.
Would tackling an ultra in 2013 be one of your goals? I totally believe and am confident you can do it.
Finalizing my list of Goals for 2013 tomorrow. 2012 was great and I truly believe that 2013 will be even more amazing.
You look amazing, BTW! Can’t wait to hear about what’s been working for you…
Happy New Year!
Gone Girl is fantastic! I couldn’t put it down. Good job with the long run on vacay. One of my goals is to do better with running while traveling.
Impressive to run long, or at all for that matter, on vacation. I have never been good about staying super active on vacation. Can’t wait to hear your race announcements. Gotta work on my goals later today, I did choose my word for the year GRACE. ; )
Alright, at the risk of sounding like someone who can’t cook, how do you make your omlettes so perfect? Mine fall apart & end up as a scramble…
This time I cooked up the filling, set it aside. Then, I cooked up the egg, flipped and put the toppings in the middle. I think the key is a well oiled or buttered pan so it doesn’t stick at all.
Dreaming up new goals is the best
After Christmas and Birthday, I think it might be my favourite time of year.. and if it included guilt-free cake, it would probably be the fave!
This year I am making progress on my goal of running a marathon in every Canadian province- New Brunswick in May 2013! I will also run an ultra-marathon, though I haven’t decided which I will do (depending mostly on whether the race I want to do decides to hold the ultra again).
Happy New Year!
I loved Gone Girl!! Favorite book I read this year.
Well….I guess I maybe your only blog friend that didn’t care for Gone Girl. I thought I would comment, just in case you don’t like it, you won’t think you missed something.
I read soo many reviews that readers disliked the ending (not to spoil it but other commenters have mentioned the ending). I’ve debated reading it, decisions!
Gone Girl…good read! A few twists that will surprise you, but it kept me Kindle tapping/page turning for sure.
Please stop to see more sunsets, especially with your sweet hubby! My Gram told me to see as many as possible and enjoy God’s beauty. She was so, so right and I never, ever regret taking a few minutes to enjoy one.
Happy New Year!
I looooved reading that book. And then hated the ending. And apparently I’m the only one. I do want to see what they do with it when the movie comes out though!
I so wished I lived in a warmer climate to do long runs outside. The roads/sidewalks here are icy & snowy and I just can’t drag myself to the gym for the dreadmill.
I read Gonegirl….loved the book; but so disappointed with the ending.
