Well we made it through our first Dubai Christmas. When you are an expat and so far away from home what do you do on Christmas Day? Brunch! E and I hightailed it to the Atlantis to drink bubbly and feast of the magnificent spread. We donned Santa hats and dined by the gorgeous Atlantis pool. There was even a cotton candy machine, which was my go to for dessert. It really was lovely and we had lots of fun. BUT I missed the cold, grey skies of the midwest, the fire crackling, and the family all together. As much as we tried to mask the day in opulent fun it just was not the same as home.
Now we are looking towards the New Year. Currently we are planning to stay in Abu Dhabi and attend the Coldplay concert after a few days down on the island that E works on. But we all know what comes with the new year...resolutions. I know everyone says that they do not believe in them but we all still make them so often just to be broken. In past blogs I have discussed E's health kick and it has jump started my running, most recently completing a half marathon. So I thought that I am going to make a resolution that I can work towards everyday. A mileage goal. E brought up the thought of running 1000k in the year, which would be about 621 miles, which is only 1.7 miles per day. That's less than 20 minutes of running. Completely doable, so I am going to do it. So from here and there you may be reading about some milage updates. Here's to keep resolutions!!
What's your New Years Resolution?
Cheers!
