This & That
Happy Monday!
We hope ya’all had an eventful weekend!
We seriously can’t believe that the first weekend of March is over! Where does the time go? Geesh. Like we said before, we were just getting used to February and we are now officially into the heart of March. Daylight savings time anyone? Although losing an hour of sleep sucks, we are pumped about having more sunlight when we get home in the evenings because running in the dark just sucks, especially when bums are involved.
Anyways, our weekend consisted of same ole, same ole. Snow skiing, cooking for friends, wine by the fireplace, and oh yeah….18 miles!
That’s right. 18 miles. Can your BELIEVE it? We still can’t.
Yesterday’s run was another cloud nine moment for us. We completed the second to last long distance training run and we are still alive!
We were a nervous wreck the whole day. Just ask Mr. B. He probably could have killed us. We don’t know why we allow myself to stress out because it just creates anxiety which makes us run like dog poo.
Mental note: quit being a crazy person before longs runs. K?
(*Also we will add we did our run in 3:03.. apparently we don’t know how to stop our Garmin) Between psyching myself out, our ipod running out of battery, and a new trail, this run was probably one of our worst. Well, at least the first ten. Our stud muffin t-shirt couldn’t even cheer us up. It seriously felt like we were on a death march for the first ten miles. Thank GOD Mrs. Gibson gave us a Road ID for our birthday because we were close to falling over dead. But then, our knight in shining armor Nike wear came to our rescue. Speedy side story…. We ran five out and back to complete ten. Then Mr. B and we were to run the last 8 miles together. Well, he came jogging around the corner of the trail and met us at 9.3, and saved the day! It was a favorite surprise EVER! We don’t think we could have finished this run without him. He brought us food, a new ipod, and motivation. We heart this guy. Needless to say the last eight miles were intense but a blast! Next up, another taper week and then the big 2-0. Hopefully we will not be as crazy! See ya later!
