A HUMONGOUS THANKS to Sarah at Junk Miles for sending me the sweetest stuff from the Nike Women's Marathon. She sent a drawstring bag, a t-shirt I wanted so bad, but didn't get, when I was there. Now Karen and I can be twinkies. AND...a hooded sweatshirt that is thick and cozy. I can't wait to be stylin' around town in my new gear.
I love you! I love you! I love you! Thank you so much for thinking of me. You are a doll!
A New World RecordAt least in my world. And NO...it wasn't downing 2 dozen doughnut holes! Saturday morning we woke up to run and it was 7 degrees outside. I can handle 7 degrees. Then Doug told me it was 7 degrees with a windchill of -9. Oh...well...that could change things. Hmmm...I've never run outside when there was a -9 degree windchill. How many miles were we running? 8...okay...What is the longest I've ever run on the treadmill? 4...okay...So to the Y we go. And guess what? I did it! I ran 8 miles on the treadmill. Again, the tv made all the difference in the world. I watched me a little L&O (Law and Order) and poof-there's an hour. And after, I felt like a million bucks. So glad I decided to run and not wuss out.
Nice work! Law and Order has gotten me through lots of treadmill runs, too... that and Gilmore Girls.
ReplyDeletesweet package! 7 and -9? no thanks! glad you were able to get a run in on the tm though, and 8 miles way to go!
