T.G.I. not Freezin'

We have been fortunate here in the high-five state to have temps above freezing. Can you believe that? Maybe all of those fake emails about global warming weren't fake?

The office was really different today, since most people will be on vacation until the new year. There were smiles and handshakes and hugs. Wow, that was kind of cool for the workplace.

I am still logging miles without any discomfort or pain and it's great to feel good after a run! I had forgotten how that felt for a long time.

With only a few more shopping days until Christmas, I'm getting my list ready. This is a procrastinators favorite time of hte year. I've actually been in the store on Christmas Eve when it was closing. The crap you pickup then is amazing.

One of my participants from the Spring team has started blogging. Lisa's mom was diagnosed with leukemia and she joined the team, so go out and give Lisa a warm blogging welcome. She even has a cool name for it:

Wednesday's Why

Why is it so easy to get caught up in everyday life and neglect my Blog?

I have been swamped at work and when I get home the last thing I want to see is another PC!!!!!

I've been missing my boot-camp style workouts during the day and getting in my running in the evenings, which is totally different during the colder days. My energy level is so low and I attribute it to missing a good breakfast. Remember, the most important meal of the day.

Still trying to recover from the holiday spirits! Boy am I glad December only comes around once a year. We have been partying during the week and on the weekends. I'm too old for this..........

Okay, time to drag my sorry arse out to the gym.

I hope my membership is still active.

Are U Ready 4 Some Football

I love this time of year because we have holiday parties every weekend. My Sunday runs suffer but it helps make me a stronger runner. That's my story and I'm sticking by it!

We are getting ready to get dumped on with some of the white stuff, which makes finding clear streets a little difficult. I've been scouting out some of the sub-divisions near my office just for the occasion of some snow running. Nothing like running in endless circles and dead-end signs.

The Christmas tree is up and waiting to be decorated and the Packers are taking on the Ravens on MNF. We need this victory for a legitimate playoff run.

Running is going well but I won't be competing in the Olympics any time soon.

Have a great evening out there and Go Packers!

Sub-Freezing TNT Training

This was our first TNT training with the weather Gods testing us. The temperature was 19º when we started, but the sun was out which makes all of the difference in the mind.

It still amazes me that so many people think they can't run in the Winter elements but it is soooo doable.

I still need to work on a few of them and their apparel but overall the team Rocked!

This is also the start of December Saturdays, which means holiday parties.......

This evening I get to party with my immediate and extended family, so tomorrow might be a really bad run, lets hope for the best.

Have a great weekend..

T.G.I.Freezing

We are finally getting ready for some December winter here in the high-five state.

It's humorous that Houston is suppose to get dumped on with several inches of snow. I wonder if Coach Liz will bust out the snow shoes?

The Spring team will get their first exposure to training in the elements, poor kids! It does seem a little cruel to have newbies running in below freezing temps and tell them to head into the wind!!!

I have been getting in some cautious miles but I do want to go faster!

I hope everyone stays warm and enjoy these last few weekends before Christmas.

Did I mention that I have to shop???????????

Wild Wednesday's Whys?????

Okay, I hope everyone had a great holiday, I know I did. I purposely didn't use the PC.

Here are my questions for today:

Tiger Woods cheating on his wife????? WHY?

I know even Haley Berry's husband cheated.............

A 38-year-old former Miss Argentina has died from complications after undergoing cosmetic surgery on her buttocks. WHY??????

Okay, this is a running blog. I noticed this while volunteering for our local Turkey Trot. I'm not trying to be a running snob, but why do so many middle of the pack and slower runners love to get high fives??????

Does it make them run faster?????

We about to get hit with some serious Winter weather here, so running outside is going to be FUN!!!!

Wednesday's Why???

I love shopping at Sam's Club so I can get more stuff than I ever need but today I was shocked.

Why would someone buy two (2) 40-pack of condoms?????

So you may not have as good a holiday as this gentleman but have a great Thanksgiving.
