Guess what, I have successfully limited my grumpiness since our return to snow-covered lawns and freezing temps. The way I see it, if I want to go back to Florida, I have to do my time up North! After all, Florida may be the sunshine state but sunshine doesn't come cheap if you know what I mean!
White sand beach jogs have been replaced with treadmill runs. There's something about staring at the wall for 45 minutes three times a week... it's led to many silent blog posts. You know, the ones which perfectly describe my endorphin-enduced state of mind, the ones in which the hustle and bustle of morning prep for school vanish with wise words only to be replaced by serenity.
Well. They were just that. Silent posts. They were good, heck some were even pretty darn great, but sadly, I never got around to actually typing them for y'all (pardon the lingering southern influence).
Indeed, time seems to be running ahead of me in 2012. I am constantly trying to catch up. But I will.
If only I could figure out a way to type while I jog... the posts would blow you away!

Huffing,puffing, jogging mom
For the first time ever since high school track and field, I am running. I don't even remember where I found the 8-week running program I printed on a piece of scrap paper a few weeks ago, but it's gradual, motivating, and most of all, I'm owning it big time!
Of course, I did run on my treadmill last winter, but since spring and summer came along, I was content with walking with Zoey (the most adorable Boston Terrier ever!) on a daily basis. That is, until she was diagnosed with a luxating patella (knee trouble snif snif). Walking without her was just unappealing even with the hottest ipod playlist ever! Inactivity has never sat very well with me so when I stumbled on an article which stated something like running is the workout with the biggest payoff in the shortest time, BANG, I was transformed into a running mama!
Actually, there was nothing instantaneous about it, but a few swallowed bugs (I have yet to learn to run with my mouth closed) and sweaty jogging bras later, I am proud to say I am well on my way!
