Mmmm, some Bailey's in my coffee this morning would have been a really yummy way to start the day.  Unfortunately, showing up with alcohol on my breath first thing in the morning is kind of frowned upon at work.  Sigh....

Everything is better with alcohol. This is especially true of today, which will get better at happy hour!

Agreed!  And, since I'm not an egg nog fan, I'd have to say this was especially true about egg nog

You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning!

Here's the latest iteration of the rules for the Salty Manatee Month of Motivational Mayhem Challenge:

1. The challenge starts on 1/1/2015.
2. Logs will be checked on Thursday nights after 6 p.m. MST, with results posted on Fridays. The first report will be on 1/2/2015.
3. Reporting will be number of days you met your goal during the week (e.g., 2/7, 5/7, 7/7).  Final report will be x/31.  Total time, total distance, or type(s) of activity won't be reported.  It' not a competition for who did how much of what or for how long.
4. Goals can be either 10 min./day or something specific like Matt's (30 min. stretching, etc.) or Chris's (5 run days, 2 yoga days).  If you want a specific goal other than 10 min./day, please post it in the forum or send Mary a PM if you don't want it made public.
5. Logs will be checked on Thursday nights after 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
6. If you're injured, you can probably still do something for 10 min. unless you’re really injured. No credit if you don’t do some sort of athletic-related activity for 10 min., including stretching or PT.
7. If you're sick, you’re sick. If you can manage 10 min. of something, great. If not, you miss a day.
8. No banking allowed.  The point of the challenge is to work on consistency.

I think we're pretty close to having final rules but there's still time to cuss and discuss if anybody disagrees with any of the above.

Also, here's who I have participating:

• me
• Chris
• Melanie
• TJ
• Kirsten
• Ann-Marie
• Janyne
• Stacey
• Monica
• Matt
• Judi

Anybody else?

I forgot to share some interesting news! It's kind of a long story and I can't yet share details but I have a sponsorship in the works with...get this...a local brewery!!!!!!!! Maybe sponsorship isn't the best term because what I was looking for was not money, or race fees paid but beer. And what I want to offer is connecting the beer community with the running community. Talk about a match made in heaven

There was a big box sitting there. Inside I found a Beagle pup wagging his tail. I wouldn't leave him there alone, so I climbed in the box and slept curled up with him.
