Why?

Why did I run 9 miles this morning?

Why did I run 9 miles this morning at 5 a.m.?

Why did I run 9 miles this morning at 5 a.m. with 2 inches of fresh snow at my feet and more falling from the sky?

Why? I am not sure.

Needless to say, it was a pretty rough run in the snow—9 miles in 1:20.

I knew I couldn’t get my hopes up about the chirping birds, sunshine, and warming temps the past few days. It is only the middle of March, and for Alaska that still means winter!

I was starving when I got home after school tonight, so I threw together the fastest meal possible.

sauteed veggies + tofu

I finally feel as though I have figured out how to prepare tofu—thanks to Emily and her tofu tutorial for this wonderfully easy, pan-fried tofu that never fails me!

Sadly I was not sporting the Irish spirit today. I completely forgot about wearing green—although I don’t think I own any green fitness-related clothes. I only got one pinch from a student because our principal declared our school a “pinch-free school.”

I’m pretty sure the only green in my day was my salad at lunch and the broccoli and peas in the above picture.

I am so glad tomorrow is Friday! I actually feel as though this week has gone by relatively quickly, which I am not complaining about!

Question

How did you celebrate St. Patrick’s day?
