kicking a little more butt and happy new year!

i've been kicking a little more butt lately on the tready. i'm still sticking to an hour, but i'm getting more mileage in. i've gone from 10 minute miles to a 9:30 mile on average! this also means that i'm burning more calories for my cookies and milk habit i started this christmas season :) i'm going to have to let that habit go after the new year, but it's been so darn comforting these past few weeks.

i leave for colombia, south america tomorrow morning. cab will be here at 4:45 AM. um...yeh, A.M. paola and i will be staying with some of her family members in cali and then going to salento (coffee region) for a few days on our own before heading back to ring in the new year on the salsa floor! i found out two weeks ago that cali is the salsa capitol of the country....which explains SO much about her family! they are all mad, crazy dancers!

happy holidays to all! see you in 2011!
