What is your goal for the New Year?

When we woke up this morning Stuart had bad ear ache. So the poor guy has been suffering all day, even with pills. He has actually slept most of the day, I just hope he can sleep tonight. Right now, he is quietly snoring away on the other sofa as I type.

I went off to spin class by myself this morning and it was as hard as usual, next Saturday we are both doing a two hour spin class (rather than one hour) for a Guinness Book of World Records attempt - the most people doing a spin class at once - 600 bikes!!! I think we might both die :)

I went off shopping in the afternoon and only bought a few things:) One thing I did manage to buy was a Cowboy Boot calendar for Stuart. It is amazing that 3 days after New Year and all the calendars and diaries are already 50% off.

Tonight I have baked my birthday cake to take to work - a carrot cake. I just hope it is alright, I hate making cakes as it is not like you can taste test it before serving unlike biscuits! It looks good and I have my cream cheese and icing sugar topping to spread on tomorrow :) But talking of icing sugar, it is not known as icing sugar as I found out at the supermarket. After staring at shelves in the baking aisle I realised 'Powdered Sugar' is their equivalent. Just so you know.

Last night I signed up for a half marathon in Austin in March. I have exactly 12 weeks to train and I have convinced two other girls from work to take part :) I am also planning, in madness possibly, to do a second one two weeks later in Houston!! That is my first goal for 2010 and I know it is going to keep me busy. I just hope I am not going to be this stiff for the whole first part of the year :) No doubt I will be moaning in the blog :)
