It’s Friday and I’ve been in a much better mood since yesterday’s successfully sweaty workout
Lately, I’ve done a lot of unloading and y’all have done a lot of reading. I’ve shared my frustrations and y’all have provided me reassurance. And I’ve done a lot of thanking, but I need to do it yet again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all of your sincere and supportive comments! I don’t know how I can truly express how much it means to me.
Tonight I’m keeping it low-key with Ryan and this rug rat…
Don’t let his charming [good] looks fool you. Every day that Ryan and I have come the past 2 weeks, the shoes we keep by the door are spewed across our apartment – they’re not chewed, just randomly scattered. What the heck dog?
We think he’s retaliating because we don’t bring him along in every.single.car ride. Have I mentioned that going for rides in the car is his second favorite thing to do? His favorite thing is chasing the laser pointer – back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I can only hope that all of my future children are as easily entertained!

I’ve got 11-13 miles on the calendar for this weekend but debating when to do it… Ultimately it’ll depend on how I’m feeling and the weather.

Question: Are you planning to pawty this weekend?
Question: Long runs in bad weather – tough it out, wait it out, or take it to the treadmill?

I’m doing a 13 miler this weekend too
I’d say a night on the couch with Ryan and Charlie are just what the doctor ordered. It’s too cold to go anywhere!
Hope you had a fab run!
oh my gosh I am glad i am not the only one obsessed with that texts from dog. I laugh laugh and laugh as I read it. By myself. In my apartment. Without a dog. Alone. Gosh my life is amazing
I loveee those texts – too funny!
Can I just say that I love your hair? Seriously. If my hair looked half as cute, I’d be SUPER happy. sigh. Can’t be jealous of someone I love, can only be happy for them.

And what a goof ball. That’s why dogs are awesome. Koda has taken quite a liking to licking all the sweat salt off my face while I’m stretching after a run. I’ll be on my back and she’ll sneak up and totally pounce on my face. I inevitably end up playing with her rather than stretching … not a bad thing!!
I’m a fan of running in the elements as long as it isn’t dangerous. But I’ve been told that I’m crazy …
Haha you mean my sweaty, messy hair? No way! Charlie likes to do the same or when we step out of the shower
Your pups are presh
I think if I had the choice, I’d go for the treadmill. I know that bad weather would be distracting to me, and I’d be too tempted to quit my workout early. If I was inside, then that wouldn’t be an option for an excuse. But then again, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, so maybe bad weather would do me some good!
Thanks! I’m actually opposite. I’d probably quit a long run on the treadmill sooner than I’d quit a long run outside – I get so bored… Unless there’s some trashy TV on to distract me!
Ha Ha, Roxy will do the same thing w/ a laser. It honestly entertains it for the longest time. Cracks us up.
Enjoy your evening in w/ your two loves <3
They’re so silly! It’s also always fun tricking him with imaginary things – like pretending to have something in our hand – he gets so excited
Good luck with the long run! And happy weekend to you!
Thanks, you too!
If it’s crummy weather, take it to the dreadmill! I got my 12 done on the treadmill Thursday.. I go during the busy hour to watch all the coo-coo people on the floor and keep myself entertained. Loving the shot of Charlie, he’s such a celebrity! xoxo Enjoy your weekend love<3
I wish I could do a long run in the middle of the day – that would be ideal! Congrats on your long run, you go girl!
I usually tough it out unless it’s icy or thundering/lightening/downpouring. I don’t have the treadmill option haha. If I know I have time during a period it should be better, I’ll wait, but usually I go anyway just to get it done. Good luck, girl! Enjoy your weekend
That’s a valid point! We have a gym membership so treadmills are always an option… I wonder what I’d do if we didn’t – wonder if I’d be less of a pansy and just run in the bad weather?!
omg, that’s hilarious about the shoes. My dog TOTALLY does stuff like that!
I’m hopeful that it’s just a phase
But thankfully he isn’t chewing on them…
HAHA I love the dog text! I don’t mind the treadmill, so if it’s bad weather, I’ll definitely take it inside.
Those dog texts are always hilarious!
Haha that’s so funny about the shoes!
I’m a wimp when it comes to bad weather – if it’s not dry and above 15 degrees celsius, I run inside.
I had to look up Celsius – Fahrenheit conversions
I’m the same way, if it’s too cold I stay inside…
No pawty for me this weekend!! Unless you count going to eat as a pawty, I sure do!! As you know from my IG reply to this Q..RUN outside for sureeeee, treadmill only on strong wussy days!
Going out to eat is always a pawty IMO
I have to say that I would wait on the run.. I cannot run on the treadmill (maybe it is because I have a poor attitude about it)! Happy weekend! I hope it’s relaxing, girl
I don’t mind doing shorter runs on the treadmill, but the thought of running an hour+ of running is a bit much… Unless there’s some trashy TV on
