New Years Day Run and the BEST Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2014!!

Last night wasn't a wild night for me....we went to a friends place for a calm games night ring in!!!
 
Two things from last night. (1) the game Personally Incorrect is hilarious...go buy it if you like games...especially adult games!!!!  (2) The virgin strawberry daiquiri in the bottom corner was the best thing I've had to drink in a long, long time.  You can find the recipe here.  It's been a long time since I was awake until 1am...I'm like an old person and go to bed before 9...LOL.
 
Today I had a group run with the TTPers.  If it wasn't for them...I would not have gotten out.  It was FRIGID to say the least.  I 'vaselined' up and headed out.  We had a great 5k run and felt it was a great way to start off the new year.
 
Olive from Olive to Run did a post on coming up with one word to describe what you want to accomplish for the new year.  I read the post a few days ago and was struggling to come up with a word that I wanted to strive towards.  Until now.  I can't take credit for coming up with this on my own...I'm stealing Ali's from Hit the Ground Running.  It just seems to fit what I want to hold myself to.
 
  • I want to be dedicated to me - including exercising and eating - and realizing when I just need to have me time to recharge!!!
  • I want to be dedicated to my family and friends
  • I want to be dedicated to my work....I'm not sure what this one entails right now...but I'm hoping to work on it throughout the year.
  • I want to be dedicated to the Tundra Pounders - to help each member grow more and more and to support them in whatever way I can.
 
So there you have it....my first post of 2014 and one that I hope each and every one of you will hold me to.  Oh....and you can all come over for the BEST daiquiri's ever!!!!

  3. I'm with you...I was SO happy we stayed out until 2! I felt like a young person again lol.

    I'm going to try Personally Incorrect...We played Cards Against Humanity, which is like SO inappropriate but super funny. It's like dirty Apples to Apples. Sounds like you had a great night!

    1. Someone at work today told me about the Cards Against Humanity and it sounds familiar except that Personally Incorrect is even MORE inappropriate. LOL
