I know I am so bad at blogging so my first New Year's resolution will be to write more often. At least you can all see whether I stick to it.
So we went and came back from Hawaii. We had an amazing time and Rachel and Maggs (if I only knew how to link to their blogs that would be good - I am useless I know) were really helpful with their suggestions of where to go and what to do. Shaun loved the Koko Head trail hike and it was our favourite thing that week.
The picture above is me coming up to the top. I was hot and exhausted.
I got back to London on 22nd only to find out that whilst I was on holiday half of my department has been made redundant. How is that for Christmas present. I am apparently not at risk but with the current economic climate you just don't know what may happen.
Flew back to NYC and West Point on Christmas Eve and Shaun and I had a great and quiet Christmas. I've got some great presents from him and pretty much the whole day we just chilled out and watched some running DVDs - all very motivational. Then flew back to London on Sunday night because I had to work these few days between Christmas and New Year and I am flying back to the US on New Year's Eve. Ah, and my bank account balance suffered big time. My other new year's resolution is to spend less time (and money) on the planes.
Shaun and I have talked a lot over Christmas as to what we want to do over the next few years and he has decided not to do any triathlons over the next 2-3 years and to concentrate purely on running and getting faster. We figured that his marathon times are pretty good with minimal training and that if he concentrates on running and drops biking and swimming he could get much faster. We shall see what happens. First stop for him is Boston marathon. So all the tri races next year I will be doing on my own - oh, dear!
My coach really wants me to concentrate on running and swimming over the next couple of months so I guess for me, biking will be on the backburner.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you all the best for 2009.

Hey there! Phew - didn't realize that you (literally) commuted between work and the hubby - yikes! But 7 months (if I read that correctly) isn't too long until you guys are living on the same continent... :) Good luck with the training - hurrah for swimming and running. Have a safe flight back to the states!
Happy New Year! Good luck with the new training season - it will be fun!!
I just learned how to do the link thing too, so don't worry, you aren't the only one who didn't pick it up right away.
Happy New Year!
