- I've run 113.5 miles so far this month (gotta include that .5). This included getting new compression tights and racing a strange person in the dark.
- I did 5 artworks. One was a portrait of Rafael Nadal who lost in the Australian Open final yesterday. Did my portrait help him get to the finals, or contribute to his losing? I'm actually a bit superstitiously sports curious and pondering what to do for the Super Bowl.
- I unloaded a bunch of Run with Lumber
crapsupplies. I chaired that event for 6 years and am glad to hand over the responsibility to my worthy successor. I'm also very glad to have all that crap outta my house. - Tutoring biz was steady but not overwhelming this month. Carry on!
- I've managed to keep up with NaBloPoMo and blog each day in January. I'm going to sign up for February. Anyone else??

| Run With Lumber 2011 Success |
As for this past week, it was another goody. Chaco and I went bowling yesterday. Notice that we can rearrange the letters of "Chaco" to spell "Coach". He gave me some helpful pointers, and I felt and saw results almost immediately. Not all that tough to do since I used to basically walk up to the line and just throw the ball in the general direction of the pins.
And did I mention that I got my very own bowling ball this week (SQUEE!)? It's pretty. My new goal is to break 150.
I was working with a new young tutor student and wanted to assess her skill level. I asked her a few questions regarding her knowledge of math terms and asked, "What is a negative number?" She answered "One that isn't very good". I think I might need to make a list of favorite incorrect answers.
As always, I'm thankful for my blog friendships and the support and camaraderie that go with them. They keep me positively positive! I less-than-three all of you!

You're so motivated, it's inspiring! All that running and creating and tutoring and now bowling! (Love that you're bowling, BTW!)
Congrats on keeping up with NaBloPoMo. I know how much effort it requires. And I know this cuz I crashed and burned in January, so I don't think I'll be signing up for February. I'm glad I made it through December though. It motivated me enough to get me going more than I was before.
A favorite incorrect answers list would be SO fun! Do it!
Did I remember you letting go of the RWL gig? You aren't at that school anymore, are you? Anyhoo, good job!
And your own bowling ball to boot? You giving Terri a run for her money? I just bought running shoes - it'll be YEARS before I pony up for a bowling ball at this rate!`
Judy, that's correct. I've graduated from parent volunteer at that school, but it is my crossing guard employer.
113.5 miles (giving you the .5 miles & racing with strangers in the dark) should be a cake walk for you. That's only 4 miles a day (including the midnight New Year's mile). Still, I salute your stamina. You spur me on for that morning run when I want to sleep in.
And your very own bowling ball? Is it named Homer? That means you've upped it a notch in the bowling world. What's next? Your own bowling shirt?
And thanks for the camaraderie as well. You're definitely more than a negative one on my scale.
You're schedule sounds really busy x.x. I know that all too well! Anyway, you seem like a very passionate individual judging by your art work on this blog. Keep up the great work!
Do 2 Superbowl pics - one of each side scoring a touchdown. That way you are being fair...
Sounds like it's been a great January for you! I have really enjoyed learning about you this last month and look forward to reading more. Hope you can keep your post-a-day up, because I'm a little selfish that way. I love to read others' new posts, but don't always feel like posting one myself. (Funny, though, I write plenty of them in my head, but very few ever make it to post.) Anyway, hope your February is just as good! Happy blogging, bowling, cross-guarding, running, painting, drawing,...what'd I forget?
