Friday night was really laid back. My sister and I ichatted while catching up on Scandal and HTGAWM <--don't want anyone finding my blog by typing in the full name haha! I started Lickety Split by Mary Kay Andrews (written as Kathy Hogan Trocheck--her name before she became Mary Kay!) as my "book by a favorite author" category on my reading challenge. To be honest, I'm really glad I didn't read this one first! The books she writes now are fun, girly, and total beach reads (a new one comes out in May! I can't wait!) and this one is nothing like it! While it's been a quick read, it's not exactly my kind of book.
Saturday morning I woke up fully intending to go to my group run. After looking at the temperature and impending snow, my coffee and pancakes were looking better and better. I opted for a treadmill run later and was really glad I did! It started snowing a lot earlier than predicted and the roads in my neighborhood were a mess. My walk to the gym was probably more of a workout than the actual run because of all the snow! Can't tell you guys how thankful I am that I bought my boots earlier this year. Seriously guys, they are the best ever!
Sunday was the day to tackle my long run. Even though it was a lot warmer, my side walks were still super slushy and I wanted to stay on the safe side. I opted for the treadmill once again and it ended up being a fantastic run. I even ran a little further than I had set out to because I switched treadmills after my favorite one freed up about two minutes into my run. I wanted to see those double digits and figured 10.5 was better than 10.2. I'm actually a little surprised with how not bored I was this week on my treadmill long runs. I think the combination of music and Wait...Wait...Don't Tell Me! helped. It probably doesn't hurt that Shamrock is getting closer and I'm thinking a PR is more doable than I had originally thought! My brother and sister included me on a massive group text as well, and it's really hard to be bored when you have constant alerts going off. Thanks, guys! :-)

| I felt great this whole run! Can't wait for Shamrock! |
Maddux and I got in a short walk Sunday afternoon (he wasn't a fan of getting his paws wet) and then I made it out of the house for a Petsmart and Target run. All in all, a great weekend!

Tell me something good about your weekend! Any other treadmill warriors out there? Stay warm and have a great week!
That's a great long run on the treadmill. Your boots are so cute! Shamrock is almost here. I hope the weather will be good for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so excited for it! I hope that the weather becomes more spring like by then :-)
DeleteHappy to help with the group text ;) I wish I could come and stick Bar on a treadmill with you--she needs it!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think we need spring more!!
DeleteI haven't gotten into Scandal. But I may have to catch up on Netflix if it's on there. I hear good things about that show. Congrats in 10.5 mile. That is way long on a treadmill. I could never do it. This wkend we ran in the magical place on earth. Good times:) -L
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm jealous you got to run at Disney!! You should definitely watch Scandal! It's easy to get caught up in :-)
DeleteLindsey, I'm so glad that you had a great weekend (in spite of the weather!) and that your treadmill run went so well. You're going to do great at Shamrock! I've got a marathon this weekend and more snow on the way today; this weather has just been crazy. Thanks so much for linking up with the blog this week; hope your weather stays calm!
ReplyDeleteNice job! You are going to have a great race! Glad we did not run outside, would have been slick.
