Ringing in the New Year... Hamlin style!
With all of our traveling behind us, we were glad it was our year to host the New Year's celebration at our house. The Jacksons and the Bennetts joined us from Texas (a continuing tradition) and Greg and Shelley joined us from Missouri. We had the usual low-key evening with just the right amount of game-playing, conversations, eating, and bubbly! I don't think I stayed up much past the stroke of midnight because I knew I had a 6 mile run planned for January 1st.
After a lovely mid-morning run with my sister (we ran 5 miles with Will and Jacqueline who were on a scheduled 16-miler...), I returned home to be the official photographer of the 1st annual Beer Mile Run located at the walking track behind our house. D was the winner with a time of around 8 minutes. It was a ridiculous display of New Year's revelry and off-season Ironman competition between four friends with nothing better to do... I was amused!
Jacqueline and I had our usual fun of a few Scrabble competitions and she devoured D's "Born to Run" book I purchased him for Christmas. The kids all got along fabulously. A good time was had by all!
Happy 2010. May it be a year full of blessing and abundance with not too many surprises in store but just enough to keep us all on our toes!

Re: Ringing in the New Year... Hamlin style!
Scott sent me a text that said simply "10 minute beer mile". I responded simply "ridiculous." I wish I would have come just to see you! Let's run together. I just signed up for the AR grand prix so I have alot of running to do!
