I just finished watching the ball drop for the East coast while sipping on some champagne! Now to wait the 55 minutes until it is time to drop here. It has been a while since I have been in Texas for New Years and I am being so low key: a night spent in pjs, watching football with the family. It has been great to relax and be a bum but I will be in Florida before I know it: crazy!!!
I have a mini surprise: I may run a local 5k in the morning! It does not start until 10am and I would have to sign up at 9:30 before it starts but I need to get 3 miles in tomorrow anyway so I figure why not run my first race in texas, in the cold, and some local? It will really depend on weather as it may be raining/sleeting so it will be a game time decision. I don't know if I can race it as I have niggles (nervous wiggles during the Taper) all over but I will go on feel. I don't think it is even timed or I would get a medal or anything but I thought it would be a good way to get out there. The chances of me ever running a 5k on New Years will be close to 0 because of living in Pasadena with the Rose Parade and the Bowl!
I won't be in Pasadena and I am sad as I will miss the parade! But I will watch it on tv for sure-I want to see the tribute to Louis Zamperini of having Traveler the horse lead the parade with no one riding him. Back story to this: Zamperini was a hardcore USC Trojan (Fight On Forever!) and Traveler is the animal mascot of the USC (the Trojan being the actual mascot). For a horse to not to have a rider is a tribute for a fallen solider which represents his insane journey. I finally finished Unbroken a few days ago and it was beyond an amazing experience. I need to try and see the movie before I head to Orlando on Sunday!
Have did everyone ring in the new year? Any plans for New Years Day?
