December

I can't believe its almost December! Where has November gone...its been a quick month, that's for sure. I am gearing up for the Kiawah Island Marathon next weekend and am excited for it to be over...I've been training for 4 months and am getting tired of having to go running...I have one more 10 miler this weekend and then shorter runs next week. Crazy thing is I think that I have gained weight during this process, which to me seems impossible. My jeans are falling off of me and yet the scale at the gym says 168. I think that it off by at least 4-5 pounds...it has to be. Maybe they have a grand plan to make people think they are 5 pounds heavier than they really are to push them to renew their membership...its working on me. Not that being 5 9, 168 is fat by any means, but I truly thought I was leaner. Oh well. I was trying to slim down so when I gained 10 pounds this holiday season I'd be back to normal. Maybe its because I'm getting older and my metabolism is finally taking a hit. Next year is a big one for me - 35. Me, turning 35. Will I finally have to grow up? No more Abercrombie? A friend told be last night that I looked youthful...to which another friend added, its just because you dress like a teenager. Do men also have to dress age appropriate? What is age appropriate dress for a 35 year old? I just don't know. Maybe I should get lessons from Clinton and Stacy on What Not to Wear...the Toy Party is this Sunday...I'm going to try and dress age appropriate for this event and see what happens...
