Hugs - February Challenge (Page 16)

Today was my first time back at the gym in a bunch of days.  It was an ugly, slow treadmill run.  I went in with the intent of running 5-6 miles.  Got to 30 min and had to call it quits.  Made myself walk for another 5 minutes.  Still not feeling like "myself".  I'll take it easy tomorrow and try to get back on the treadmill Sunday.  Not a happy camper right now considering I have a half marathon staring me in the face in just over a month.

On a side note, we now have 3 1/2 feet of snow/ice sitting on the ground.  Last 2 days, everything was shut down... schools, work, life, etc.  And now we're looking at another storm on Mon/Tues.  The nice weather lady said this next storm won't produce and blizzards and our snow totals "SHOULD REMAIN UNDER A FOOT".  Are you freaaaaaaking kidding me!!!Considering Monday is a holiday, I wonder if our kids will EVER go to school EVER AGAIN!!!! 

I'm jealous of all the snow you guys are getting back east although it might drive me crazy to be stuck in the house for days on end.  We're looking at brown grass and warm weather in Utah when we should still be under about a foot of snow and freezing.  It's going to be a long dry summer.  I hope my yard can handle the drought we're going to have.  It's nice for training though.

Haven't been able to make it to the gym since my surgery and won't be able to again tonight. Still playing catch up. Gotta make sure I get in there tomorrow and I'll have to throw in an extra day next week.

It's all a trade of isn't it? I've managed like 2 or 3 outside rides since November

Hi all, just checking in. I would like to post more, but every time I sit down to try, something comes up! Darn kids always wanting to be fed and taken care of. haha.

I knocked out a few more miles today...and as is traditional, got a root canal after my run. I am going to take a break from dentistry for a while to concentrate on training. Ugh. I was thinking about NurseJennie today on my run as the snow where people haven't shoveled is just like running in sand. Except there's ice beneath it. And there's no beach. And it's not warm. But other than that, it's just like running at the beach. A very cold beach. With gangsters.

haha, I crack myself up.

Hope all the sickies/injured reserve recover soon...

regards,

LOL! Just like running on a beach...somewhere in Alaska!

Sounds like the team has a severe case of the winter blues.  Show yourself some LOVE this weekend.  Sleep late, take in some extra "fluids", get a massage....whatever just take of yourselves!!!

So where on the frozen tundra are you?  I've spent some time in the midwest.  I think there are like 5 trees between Fargo and the Arctic circle....  I don't miss those winters!

I heard a fun story on NPR tonight.  It seems there is a guy trying to confirm there is snow in all 50 states today.  Hawaii recently had snow on the big island on the highest mountain and it's snowing in FL, AL, GA, SC & NC today.  Pretty amazing.  He is collecting a photo from every state and plans to post it on Google Earth.....would make a fun screen saver!

Thanks!  Love the avatar!

Happy Saturday everyone.  I think I might get a few miles of WALKING on the treadmill today.  Knee not at 100% yet, plus it's snowing outside as we speak.  Good day to stay in and do home projects (new tile in the bathroom).

Ha!  Double-post!  It's been over a year since that's happened.

I now dub today 'double-workout' day!

I'm about 20 min south of the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport.  We have more trees than Fargo.   I live just south of Apple Valley.  It's snowing AGAIN right now, in case you didn't get the memo.

Sure, I'll run for you today! And you can shovel snow for me.

Taser? OooooooooooooooOOoooo. I have a taser! I have a BUNCH of tasers! Want to meet them?

Gym brick for me...75 minute spin, 5.5k dreadmill run.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Remember to think of your sweetie!!

*muahhh*

Nice avatar.

Hm. I was with you, and understanding running along the beach made of snow and ice....

And then I got to the part about the gangsters. And I decided to go home then.

Gangsters? I don't think I'm going to visit you ever.

I'd prefer a screen saver showing palm trees in all 50 states.

Hey there, HUGSSSS
Look out your windowssss!
The MIGHTY KISSES are running through
I bet you wish you could be us toooo!

Snow isn't a crutch for KISSES!  I've got my guys out hoofin' it and blowing chunks by o'dark thirty in 17 degrees blizzards!


Beastly kisses,
~Team KISSES aka Team Awesome

Blowing chunks at o'dark thirty in 17 degree blizzards?

Really, didn't need to read about blowing chunks...

Anyhoo... got a swim and short run in today. Off to enjoy the night with the fam. Long trainer ride or spin class for tomorrow!

What are all you other HUGS up to this weekend?

I had the worse day I have had in a long time.  My patience is gone with Cole and I reached my breaking point this afternoon.  Once the floodgates opened, I had a hard time reeling it back in.  Real bad part was it all happened at my niece's birthday party.

But, on a positive note, I got new running shoes!   Trying them out on an 11 mile run tomorrow. 

Hope everyone else is having a better weekend than I am.

I thought he was doing better? Is this something you should call his doctor about on Monday?

Or maybe you need a few Cole-free hours tomorrow?
