I am STILL fighting this head cold, and up all night hacking away. But I have growing concern about taking the week off from miles, so I bundled up (it is 32 here) and took the dog out for a 2 m jaunt at least. I figured what the heck - it's cold, so my nose will run anyway and if I feel good enough to "push it" maybe I can instigate some exercise-induced asthma and cough, too.
Well, I want you to know that I coughed so hard that I pee'd my pants! Yes, add a little incontinence to the fun of aging. Luckily I was wearing my black ski-type pants, and a long coat!
All for the sake of a bib . . .

MILES
Of course as we near the end, it is never easy . .. I was derailed by NY and then this whole week I have been sick! And naturally we have been having the most mild winter on record, so I could be outside enjoying it (and ticking off miles!).
I also wonder if subconsciously I am stalling, b/c I feel like my last mile should be memorable in some way. So I wile away time pondering "should the last mile be the same as my first?" (boring). Should it be what I plan to focus on for 2013? (which I don't know of course). Should I do it on the IAT that I love? I don't want it to just be getting off the bike at the end of a spin class.
So I realized that we could do our last miles together! Then we could take a picture, and it would of course all be worth it. So "save" 2 miles (or 1 mile) and we can walk around your new neighborhood, or in a mall or something. What do you think?!
That almost motivates me enough to down a cough drop, grab my box of kleenex and go out and get caught up! Almost.

Side by Side
I'm right there with you....well close anyway -- I have 55 miles left. That works out to be just about 2 miles a day. I'll make it as well -- but I was on pace to be way ahead.
My eating has been horrendous! I have put on 5 or 6 lbs since my arrival to Houston. So I am trying hard to regain my composure. Work is out of control -- so I am feeling pretty out of control. I haven't told you about the pups either! We had to put Elvis down 3 weeks ago. He was diagnosed with lymphoma right after he got here and he went downhill quick. It was a very difficult thing to do -- needless to say. We are very thankful to have had 13 years with him. Deuce is not doing great either. She has been diagnosed with DM -- a degenerative disease that is like Lou Gehrig's disease. It will slowly paralyze her starting with the hips. Then she tore her TPL -- which required surgery 2 weeks ago. I think we nearly hit $10k in vet bills last month alone. It's been a sad time for us and the pups. We don't know how long we have with Deuce.....they can't really say, maybe a year on the long end. She is doing physical therapy twice a week with the hope of slowing the progression of the disease.
I am having hot flashes like crazy at night! But on the positive side......the weather is amazing!
It's been a wild ride....

Down to the Wire
I don't know how it got to be Dec already, and I have FORTY-THREE miles left to go yet to hit 1,000!
Talk about lack of consistency. But I'm going to do it! Goal is to get it all in before Xmas!
I heard the new WW program (unveiling this week) is about routines, and consistency. Maybe it was written for me!
What is your status, Lucy?
