It is on!

Happy New Year 2012!  Rich and I celebrated by watching the first half of UVA's bowl game and then hitting the sack.  I don't think I've watched the ball drop once in the last 5 years and I am a-okay with that.  I'd rather have my head on my pillow.

The bigger news is that we've set some pretty exciting fitness goals for the new year.  We are both at our goal weight right now, but this could change if we throw in some bodybuilding competitions.  So far this is what we have on our 2012 agenda:

• Charlottesville 10 miler, March 31st at 7:15 am (we'll see what the doctor says about my stress fracture on Jan. 17th)
• Charlottesville Half Marathon, April 7th at 6:30 am (again, we'll see...)
• OCB Atlantic Super Show, May 5th (Rich- bodybuidling, Dana-Figure...still not sure if I have the nerve to actually do it)
• Women's 4-miler, usually Labor Day weekend
 

I am sure we'll have more to add to the list as the year goes on, but this gives a good start.  We started our clean eating plan yesterday and other than being starved when I got up this morning, it is going smoothly.  I'm thankful that Rich has this week off from school so that he can prepare all of our food!
