1.  Have you ever had someone you really look up to …. oh let’s say like the upbeat, optimistic person who always wins 1st overall in all the local 5ks… ask you to work out with them??!!  I have!!

At first (I was afraid I was petrified…) I was like:

Then I realized she was serious!

 

Of course I said:

She paid to have me come as a guest to her gym… I’ve never been to an actual gym gym before!  (My old college doesn’t count) So yesterday I met up with her and we did about 1 1/2 hours of arms and abs… IT. WAS. GREAT!!  She was fun to hang out with and it was so much fun to workout with someone other than myself! She kicked my butt!!  I am indeed sore today!

2. I got a couple fun packages in the mail last week… can’t wait to share them with you!! Look for a couple reviews and a giveaway in the next week or two!

 

3. Just in case it is ever in question, I do in fact work hard and earn my pay at work! ;) Yes that IS playdough… why do you ask?! ;)

4.  I made it on to the Top 100 Running Blogs list for 2014!! (I’m #83) Holy Guacamole!! I feel honored to be listed with so many other great bloggers that I look up to!  Who would be on your top 100?

5.  Some seniors at the school at work for came around and handed out these flowers.  The pot says they are Azaleas but one of the other teachers insisted that it was a Geranium… Do any of you have any opinions or know what it is?  I do not have a green thumb…

 

6.  I was invited to be a guest over on Alicia’s Blog, Never Ever Been Skinny.  Go check it out!! :) 

7.  I haven’t watched ANY of the Winter Olympics this year… not even a minute!! Does that make me a bad person?  Go USA! lol.. have you been watching?  What’s your favorite event?

8.  I have some exciting news!! Can’t wait to share an update with you all on my dream becoming a reality!! :)

Snow Day Randomness (Challenges, Smoothies, Running Form, and Virtual Races)

I had yet ANOTHER snow day today!!  I’m so ready for Spring!! 43 days left!!  All I did was lounge around in my PJs, eat a huge bowl of Ice Cream, and work on some blog posts… In other words, my day was boring! ha!  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… I NEED routine in my life!!! So I thought I’d bring you some fun Snow Day Randomness!!  You’re welcome! ;)

Since I’m recovering from an injury and getting slowly back into running I decided I need to work on my form… Anyone else trying to work on your form?? 

 

Random #4:  Virtual Races

What do you think about Virtual Races?  Do you love them? Hate them?
Would you participate if you had to pay?  Only if something else is involved like a giveaway or medal?
What was your favorite virtual race and what made it your favorite?

I’m asking because I’m thinking about holding one to raise money for my seemingly out of reach Dream for 2014!

Did you get snowed in today?
Do you get Snow Days at work?
