Last Snow Day Ramblings

Interesting. Very interesting.
I've been trapped in the house for at least 2 days. Today is day 3 and it seems I could really get out if need be but I'm kind of comfortable. However, I do need to run an errand for Monday's all waited "smoothie day". 

I just signed up for a virtual race because I love the shirt. www.runwithjess.com has nice contest and races.  Her Valentine's proceeds benefit St. Jude. Admirable. I should set up a virtual race for YHOA. Seems easy. I'll look into it. Maybe set something up for September which is suicide awareness month. 

My first race for the year is coming up February 13. The Hot Chocolate race. I'll just use it for Jess' race credit as well. Perfect timing. 

My long runs for this year thus far are The RNR Nashville in April and the RNR Savannah in November. Savannah will be my first full marathon! EEEEK! Pretty ballsy of me! My goal is to lose 20 lbs by then and decrease my half time to 2:30. 

I haven't heard from Chris all day. Not sure what's going on with him. Not going to speculate. Just going to wait it out and keep myself busy. 

Started reading this book I obtained from a Kwanzaa event in Nashville this year. Job Instruction For Survival and Serendipity by C. BeAird-Gaines Its a quick pros and cons read. One page gives a negative case scenario you may be dealing with at work. The next page gives a positive spin on looking at the situation. And the third page gives you survival and serendipitous truth. Eye-opening, encouraging, and gut- checking read. I like it. Can't wait to finish it and pass it on. Wonder would my little girl appreciate such a gift? Not quit sure she's ready. Maybe a few years from now when she's done playing run and go get it with the kids.
