Daily Mile

Postponed

Remember how I said I was going to be doing something surprising on Saturday? Well, the surprise didn’t happen. I got snowed/iced in on Friday night/Saturday morning. I had a fun day anyways and the surprise will be postponed until February. Hopefully the weather will cooperate! This was the scene outside my window around noon, after the snowplow came.

Since I didn’t do “the surprise” on Saturday, I had fun doing other things this weekend like:

1. Running on the dreadmill. I ran 32 miles last week. Not too shabby, but I didn’t go along with my 2012 goal of running in the cold 2x a week. Oh well!2. Eating delicious food. Typical.Iced coffee after an ice storm. Hmmm…MochaChicken tenders, mac & cheese, and green beans.I went out to eat with Jimmy at Eat n Park and got the rosemary chicken with white wine sauce.

3. Did a little bit of homework with a side of peanut butter.4. Woke up looking crazy and messy.5. Walked Lola on a local trail! I don’t have a picture but she was really happy to play in the white powder.

I can’t believe Penn State has already started the third week of the spring semester! I am finally beginning to feel settled into my classes and the coursework. It feels good and I wish I could go back to three weeks ago when I was so nervous and tell myself that everything would be okay. That’s life though!

I’m thinking about writing up an informational post on eating seasonally. What do you guys think? What are your favorite winter foods?!

Interval workout and sister

I can’t believe how fast this week has gone by. Wow. Only a week of classes and a few finals until Christmas break, but I’m not going to wish time away. I’m going to enjoy the last week of learning and pretend to enjoy cramming for finals.

Maybe this week went by so quickly because I was really busy again with school stuff and adjusting to the temperature drop in Pittsburgh? It was like 60 degrees on Monday and 29 degrees on Thursday. 

Needless to say, I didn’t run outside. I spent some time with my friend the dreadmill. I also went to a spin class, did P90X on Monday (STILL sore… ow), and swam. Working out relieves a lot of stress-I read that on a sign in the girls bathroom on campus. Just thought I’d share… 🙂

I’d have to say my favorite workout this week was an interval run on the dreadmill. I hadn’t done speed work since cross country camp at Seton Hill. I needed to push myself a little bit! From my Daily Mile:

This weekend I’m not 100% sure what I’m doing besides going to an ornament exchange with my momma on Saturday at our church. I’ve never been to one, but we have to each bring a Christmas ornament and I suppose we somehow exchange them with the other people that come. I’m excited!

Before I peace out, I thought I’d share 2 pictures of me and Hannah taken on Monday night.

No one believes we are 6 years apart. Ugh. :p

I’m on the left and Hannah is on the right.

I love her. Even if she outgrows me in height in a few months.

Have a great weekend!
