Today the Gators got together to watch video of our games from Nationals. I wasn't looking forward to seeing myself slaughtered on the big screen, but it wasn't that brutal. I am thankful that we have video of our games so that we can have feedback on what worked well for us during games. I learned that I need to spend more time in the pool! Lifting some more weights could also help my game play. I need to model myself after the 50+ team and maintain and increase my level of fitness. How was your Sunday morning?
My mom thinks that I should add eating beets to my list of goals for this next year. Growing up, beets were always suspect in my house. With a family that eats cold soup the color of Peptol-Bismol during the summer while proclaiming its goodness, I was never convinced. Beet sounded awful, pastel buttermilk beet soup sounded and looked even worse. I get that as an adult my palate may have changed, I would be willing to try a golden roasted beet or something small and non-committal. I'm not sure even if I love beets if I'll ever be sold on the pink soup. Do you have any recipes I should try?
I ate my fill of grapes after the amazing dinner with my husband and our friends last night. We had a great evening with games and fun and began our day with a nice morning 5k. Yesterday my husband decided to run a mind-boggling 16 miles so today, instead of racing, he ran with me. I couldn't have been happier, and he made sure I achieved my goal time. Tonight we'll feast on some lentil soup and I'll mentally prepare for students tomorrow. How did you ring in 2012?
