Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Training
So far week 1 of returning to the habits of the Fall is going well. I could be doing better on the eating front, really need to find a different focus in the evenings. But the exercise part has gone well, the new clothes are doing the trick of handling the cold. And I always used to think it was odd when my Dad had special socks he wore for basketball etc, but getting some specialized running socks has actually made a difference in the foot cramps. As before though, I need to remember to maintain patience with the weight loss, it will come, so long as I stay on track.
But I have a date to focus on for my running. I plan on running the Grand Prix of running series this year. The first race is March 12, the St. Patricks Day 5K, which should be pretty easy, but things pick up after that so come February the training will be picking up pace.
Family
Day 2 of school was not easy. Emily at least was better, since she did sleep better. But Daniel was very whiny and touchy instead, sigh, can't catch a break. On the flip side James is very excited about having a working bike lock so he can ride his bike to school now, which we might try tomorrow.
Politics
It is oh so very hard to not comment and focus on politics, and even harder to find something positive to comment on. And the urge to make a series of truly sarcastic, snide remarks is almost overwhelming. But I must be strong, and remain focused on positive things, at least in writing.
