Happy Saturday!

I feel like this week has been a bit of a bust as far as workouts are concerned.  On Thursday, the day after the dentist, I did not feel very well all day.  I did manage to drag myself to the gym to walk a mile and run a mile on the treadmill.  I would have stayed to tough out a little more, but we got pounded with rain, sleet and snow all day and I just wanted to be home.  On Friday, which is normally my day off, I convinced my running partner, Jenny to join me for the 4 miles I should have done on Thursday...snow and slush and all. 

Time: 42.31
Distance: 4.06
Avg. Pace: 10:27 min/miles

It sounds slower than normal, but considering the temps were dropping, and we had to obstacle course it though some of the run...I think we did pretty well.  I was actually surprised how clear a lot of the sidewalks were.  Thanks Lawrence residents for shoveling yesterday!  I guess now I need to get my butt out and do the same. 

I planned on getting up and heading to the gym this morning for some much needed weight lifting, but again the weather is not cooperating.  My car window is covered with a nice layer of ice and after watching a car slide through two stop signs outside our house, I decided to stay put.  It looks like it's me and Jillian Michael's DVD today! 

 It's actually shaping up to be a busy day for Addy and I.  So far, we've buried each other in the pillows and blankets and I've got some Shrinky Dinks I've been saving for a day just like today.  I also think it's going to be a cooking day.  Recipes to follow if they turn out noteworthy. 


I feel like I have a lot to say today, but I'll save some for another post.  I won't bore you all at once!  Now if you'll excuse me, someone here appears to have put their undies on sideways and it's causing mild discomfort *shake of the head*.

  1. Hi Sarah! I'm a former runner - getting back into being one again. I lost momentum after my neck injury then , wow, can't believe this but two years ago already! I have started back slow by doing it with the Wii but am hoping by better weather here I will be back outside! Grumpy and I are both going on the South Beach Diet starting this week. Since my surgery I gained weight back without the exercise. Glad to see that you are someone who likes to run as I do! Kind of have to with treats like I tend to enjoy making ;o) Thanks for the comment on my blog and I really hope you enjoy the sandwiches and the brownies. Those brownies are sinful - but that peanut butter caramel sauce is almost good enough to eat without the brownies!

  3. Hi Shelby! Did my comment on your site lead you here?? I'm still trying to figure out a lot of the ins and outs of blogging. I've actually been using your site as well as a few others for inspiration on how mine should look and layout and such...but it's a work in progress. So, welcome, I hope I can be some motivation to your workout journey because you've certainly been motivation to me in my kitchen!
