Sampling the holiday fare...

So, I am in that awful gray area of the off-season. I am "off". I think "off" sucks. A lot. I know I am not alone in this, but because we have no races where we can get together, I am free to wallow in my non-racing, non-hard training misery.

I think is the toughest time of the year because I don't do so well without a focus. I mean, I ate like 1/2 a tin of Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark on Wednesday.



This stuff is so good, it's evil. In season I didn't have time to go to stores that sold this kind of stuff. But now, with only 30' of working out to do, I find myself in lots of precarious positions. Like poised over an open tin of peppermint bark.

So all this peppermint bark got me thinking (or was it hallucinating?)...what am I doing with myself? What happened to my goals? Will I wake up in July 2005 as the poster-boy for holiday candy? I guess only time will tell...but for right now, I don't think it's time to worry about it. I mean, if I don't eat the peppermint bark now, I sure as heck won't be eating it in the middle of June. And not just because they won't be selling it then!

Hoping you aren't stressing out (that much) either,
