Hot Toddies (Page 31)

Well I got another run in today. YEAH!!!!  Down now to walk 4 run 26, almost there. 

EDIT:  Toddie TOPPAGE!!!

Yup, the Hartford Half Marathon in October.  My sister's house.  She has a wicked green thumb.  Wish I did.

Nice job!  Was it cold today?  It was in the 40s and sprinkling on me today.  It was perfect.

I think our weather was about the same.   My run however was on the treadmill.  Only way I am able to with the kids and all.

Ah, the kidlets.  This is my first year with all my kiddos in school.  The freedom is incredible!  Course, Liam is only half day, four days a week but it is still nice to be able to train outside without having to worry about a babysitter or a husband getting home in time or whatever life brings!

Slugger - 2008-12-10 1:10 AM Hello Toddies! So, I can't remember which thread this was in, and I'm too lazy to go check, but my fav PB is Teddies Extra Super Duper Crunchy to the Hilt. Like, you know, one peanut out of every fifty or so was smashed. Used to HATE crunchy PB, then something switched, and now creamy freaks me out (except in cooking, of course). But, alas, I don't eat much PB at all because my BFF is allergic to all nuts and as she regularly does my dishes in exchange for my cooking, I don't want to risk giving her a reaction if I accidentally leave something out. Worth giving up the PB for my BFF! Here's my confession, though: more than I miss PB, I miss Nutella. Mmmmmm, Nutella. Proof that God loves us. In this case, I use my BFF as an excuse to not eat entire tubs of it, which might possibly do bad things for my weight loss goals...

I LOVE Nutella! I remember when I was a kid living in Italy having it for the first time.  It was years later, after we moved back to the States, that I had it again.  Yum!  My kids have never had it, I think I'll have to pick some up next time I'm at the grocery!

Hmm, good point.  I'm thinking Friday night is a good time for some wine and Nutella.  Sounds like a plan to me! 

Morning Todds!

Seems like it was a pretty quiet night around here last night, relatively speaking.  I'm used to having to sift through a couple of pages when I take a night off  

Morning Neal!  Sounds like a cold yucky day.  5 degrees is unacceptable.  Someone should fix that!  Is it spring yet?

Yeah everyone feel free to send some warm weather vibes my way

I LOVE Nutella.  Very addictive stuff.  My girls love it too.  We have a tub in the pantry now as a matter of fact.  MMMMMMMMMM

Vibes on their way.

I started running when I lost my job in 2002 because if I didn't do something I knew I would just sit around all day and go crazy.  I kept running because I was loosing weight and because my swim coach said it was good for me.  Then we moved to Hoboken and that inspired this little maudlin piece:

I run because I love it when people say, "you ran how far?"  And, I don't really even go far

So, my husband just got back from the Dr.  He as STREP!!!  So help me, if I get sick for vacation, I will kick him square in the buttocks!!!!!

How is everyone today?

Must be working.  We're the double digits now   Thanks!

Well I originally ran to lose weight.  Dropped about 50 pounds that way.

Now I run because I actually enjoy it.  Must be that runner's high I guess.  And its usually my primary form of exercise when I need to blow off some steam

Ooh, strep throat is no good.  I used to alternate between getting strep throat and tonsillitis every 4-5 months when I was younger.  This went on for a few years before I finally convinced the doctor to take them out.

Hope you stay Strep free!
