1. I got my 13.1 miles in today. The roads and sidewalks weren’t bad and my pace was ok. I think I averaged a 10:08 pace, which is acceptable for FIRST and fast for Higdon. Garmin went funky on me for a bit, so I don’t have good splits, but I did the last mile in 9:49 and felt pretty good during it. I definitely have to figure out what and when to eat before running though. I had breakfast (a peanut butter and honey sandwich) at 7:00 am and then a gu at 9:00am right before I started running. I was STARVING the whole time. I think I may need to eat more the night before.
2. They are calling for snow here AGAIN. Really? Really? Our county sent out an alert warning everyone to be prepared to shelter in place for 3-5 days. Really? Beer Geek took tomorrow off because he doesn’t want to deal with commuting home in the snow with all the freaked out drivers. The grocery stores are insane. I had to go to Costco today (should have gone yesterday, but it seriously never occurred to me to take Shoo and go LOL). It was so insane that I had to park at a parking garage next door and only bought what I could carry because getting a cart back there would be insane. What did I buy? Nothing I couldn’t live without for another week and Wii Active. Yeah, I have my priorities straight.
3. I just got listed as one of the “Top Ten Fitness Blogs for Moms” on UpSpring Baby’s blog. I don’t know how they chose, but I’ll take my 15 minutes of fame LOL. They have a product called “Milkscreen” that checks the amount of alcohol in a mom’s breast milk. Hmm, that might have been useful back when I was nursing the boys. I’m just sayin’.
Next post is #400. There will be a giveaway in the near future…
Should ahve called this post "Half Marathon Thursday!" Makes my six miles look much like a 10K in comparison…
You mean you can't just "sweat out" the alcohol? 🙂 Just kidding, I might have to check out some of that Milkscreen, thanks!
Man, I can't believe the weather! Great job on the 13.1! Congrats on the honor…great job!
Nice job on the 13.1 today! Rockstar!
Great job on the long run! I find I need to eat a pretty hearty dinner the night before a 2h+ run.Hope you don't get snowed in!
Nice to have your 13.1 done!We are to get nailed with loads of snow too. What fun! Cross training (shoveling)!Congrats on the listing.
Glad you got your run and shopping in before the snow!Congrats on the blog distinction!
Sounds like hurricane prep/madness here in FL.
Congratulations on your honor! The weather is sounding crazy, though. At least you got a long run in before more snow. I don't remember ever having that much snow when I lived in Michigan. Have fun with the Wii!
Great run! I think the snow is going to be lead me to another long treadmill run this weekend! Oh, when will it ever end?
Congrats on top fitness blog – very cool!!! And wowzie on the half marathon miles, that's awesome!
Wow! 13.1 amazing! Great job on the award :)Snow days are actually nice…you have no choice but to stay home and relax!
Ugg more snow! That stinks. Hopefully it wont be too bad. Congrats on making the Fitness Blog top ten!!
Nice going making the top ten!
I can get SO hungry on long runs too. Doesn't matter if I've eaten breakfast or not. Guess we runners have high metabolism! Way to go on the 13.1.
1) great job on the run. 2) You've got to blog about the Wii Active. I don't know much about it but am interested. Let us know how you like it.3) Congrats on the blog list. That's great and very excited.
Congrats on the honor and great job on the run!!
Great work on the half. It sounds like you're in a nice place for Bob Potts in May. All of the snow you've been getting has been crazy. I'm so glad that I'm not walking around campus in it hours a day still. Now, a quarter inch of rain freaks me out. Congrats on the big honor!!
Yay! Congratulations! A way to measure alcohol in breast milk? Heck, that would have been helpful when I was breastfeeding. I mean, drinking while nursing IS how I got my kids to sleep through the night! (I'm kidding by the way). Great job on the 13.1! Keep warm and stay safe.
Nice post! Congrats on getting that run in. Now you can enjoy your day and bask in the glow of blog popularity!
Nice job on the long run!
Nice job on the 13.1!
