It's Been A While

Oops, what the hell happened? In between Christmas, our wedding anniversary, various end of year celebrations and dinners and New Year's Eve, I guess I simply forgot about writing on here. My bad. This will be a mainly photo-filled catch-up post, but before I get to that, here's the running part: I got lots of runs in over the past few weeks and I am still really loving the colder weather and running on the snow (or what's left of it now, anyhow). When I wasn't running, I was doing some strength/weight training workouts at home, but haven't been keeping the yoga up as the yoga teachers (3rd and 4th year students here) have all gone home for the holidays, ohwell...

So, here are a few shots from our Christmas Day, our 3rd wedding anniversary (on Boxing Day), and a few pictures from various dinners/celebrations:

Because nothing says 'Merry Christmas!' like a onesie and giant bottle of champagne, right? :) (Thanks again for my onesie Mum! I love it!)

For our wedding anniversary, we went to our favourite local restaurant, where you choose the ingredients and they whip it up into an awesomely tasty, healthy soup (ours is always a giant veggie concoction), and then we booked a suite at a local hotel and got some quality hotelling in:

A great time was had by all. And somehow it is the 4th of January 2015 already! So, onto those excellent 'New Year's Resolutions'! I have always loved making new year's resolutions, I suppose because they are simply goals by another name. My resolutions/goals for 2015 are thus as follows:

1) Complete both writing projects I am currently working on (one is fiction, one is non-fiction).
2) Continue to run, train, keep fit (obvs...)
3) Increase my cycling training in preparation for our 30-40 day cycle tour we want to do in July/August.
4) Lemon juice in hot water every day. (haha, a very small goal/resolution, but hey...)
5) Work out a way to slow down time while I'm in Australia in January and February.
6) Run in another ultra distance event so I can use the awesome supplies belt that Husband gave me for my anniversary present.

That's all I have so far. What are YOURS? Do you like making new year resolutions/goals?

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope 2015 is a fantastic year for you all!!!!

Giant onesie sounds awesome and nothing better than a little hotel time. Can't wait to see what 2015 brings.

Same same! And yes, love hanging out in hotels, I think it can definitely be classed as a verb 'hotelling' hey :)

Thanks Kim! Hope your Christmas and new years was a good one. Yeah, I am keen, I just don't know where (as we are quite out of the way up here now so would need to travel a long way to get to any event). I'll let you know! :)

Really, do we count as newly weds still?? That's awesome! :) (Can we get away with this title for the next few years do you think??)
Yeah, she's eyeing up his toasty! (One of many as I bought him a not very exciting sounding toasty maker for Christmas - which is kinda exciting for us as we've been missing toast and craving it lately). Puppy loves toast too as it happens! :)
