Today’s Run
Distance: 5 miles
Time: 44 minutes
Weather: 23 degrees (much more bearable)
Since I did this run 12 hours after yesterday’s run, I took it on the “easy” side this morning. I thought my legs were going to feel tired from yesterday’s 7 miles, but they actually felt pretty good. 🙂
The roads were SUPER slippery around the neighborhoods though. During the day, the sun starts to melt the snow, but then everything refreezes at night again. I cannot wait until I am able to run on dry pavement again! It is these little things that I no longer take for granted!

I know the ABCs of Me have been going around the blog world for a while now, but would it be arrogant if I rewrote some of the ABCs and did my own thing?? I hope no one is offended because I am changing things up a bit:

College – Concordia College (Moorhead, MN) (Go COBBERS!!)

Store – Gap (J. Crew if I could afford more things.)

Question
Tell me one of your answers to these ABCs.
Um my bed time is like the exact same time! Twinnies! I hate hate hate shopping for jeans ick.
I’m a grandmother too! Don’t feel badly. It comes with the sport.
L- Longest Roadtrip: Love the roadtrip one! I never made that one, but what an experience that would be! We drove from MN to FL when I was 8 for a family vacation- WHEW! I love road trips though!
Y: I COMPLETELY agree with you about shopping- jeans usually take me hours and then I get discouraged and leave empty handed. I just hate having to try on pair after pair for the right fit. (so I live my life in leggings these days)
T- TV: And I am with you on Fav TV Show. Can’t wait for Ashley next season 🙂
P- What kind of dog does Craig want? I really want a rescued greyhound or palmeranian (so cute and fluffy)
ooh this is fun 🙂 new food: today is ben’s birthday and he gets the day off work, so we had a special breakfast: mexican eggs (eggs + tomatoes w/ green chilis) with an english muffin, black bean spread, and guac! yum 🙂 i will definitely be making this again!
