Sunrise, sunset

Hi everyone!

This week has been unusually stressful! Sometimes, I wish I had a sound proof room everywhere I go so I could run in and scream my face off. Ever feel like that?

Remember how I got in that little car accident? Well, it turns out it wasn’t too safe for me to drive because my bumper might fall off. Oops. So, I immediately took it to a body shop in Pittsburgh (the best body shop EVER.. so honest.. so honest.. if you need a recommendation, let me know!) and tomorrow, I am taking it to another place to get some interior stuff fixed. My car has been through a LOT lately and I hope this is the end of a problem streak.

Today I had a billion errands to run after work but I still wanted to get my run in. Luckily, the sun is currently setting around 6:05 pm! This makes me unbelievably happy because I can get runs in around 5 pm! Spring is just around the corner. Sooner or later, we’ll be in sundresses and shorts!

To prepare, I wore my running outfit and shoes to run errands. Then, I found an awesome 3.5-mile run and ran around Pittsburgh.

It was a great run, however, Pittsburgh has some major sidewalk issues and I ain’t talkin’ about the snow fall. I’m talking about cracks, potholes, and other forms of cement issues. I almost wiped out once and luckily, I landed perfectly on my other foot. Yikes! That was a close one! It’s scary, you know? One wrong step and there goes my half marathon dreams.

How are you doing tonight? How are your new years resolutions or goals coming along?

Cheers!

Julie

P.S. Please pardon the dust on my site. I’ve been playing around with it :-)

I’m daydreaming about spring getting here, because I miss it soo much-I’m not a winter girl at all! Hope everything calms down for you soon enough, and things won’t be as stressful!

I totally have spring fever!!!
It’s getting lighter earlier in the morning and sticking around later.
I can’t wait for 23 hours of daylight this summer!
Be careful out there on those sidewalks!

Don’t break any bones or feet or anything. I wanna hear about that marathon. I hope you get your car figured out soon.

Ugh, I feel you on the needing to scream. I can’t even pin point why, but today has just been awful.

Just as a warning: it’s snowing here, which might mean snow is coming your way.

Or, in other words, maybe we should plan a bloggy meet-up. In Florida. Today.

Girl I am so proud of you for running even with errands to do. Me…I sat my lazy butt on the sofa last night and now I’m extra fluffy today. Bad Idea. :(

Have a fabulous day!!! And YAY for the car getting all fixed up. XOXO

I’m so envious of your running commitment. I want to start running so badly, but unfortunately the Fibromyalgia affects my legs. I met someone once who said she lost like 40 lbs by running! Talk about bad sidewalks, girl you need to come visit my town. It’s hard enough walking on the sidewalks, I couldn’t imagine running on them.

Sounds like you’ve been super busy!!! I hope you get a chance to slum around your house soon ;)

My New Year’s resolutions are going well so far… I’m working out like a crazy person and finally starting to see results so I’m happy !

It sounds like life is great for you especially with all that running. :) I can’t wait to run outside and for a long period of time. Right now I’m sticking with the treadmill until I get used to running.

Hello! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask. Does

operating a well-established website like yours take a lot of work? I am brand new to running a blog however I do write in my

diary every day. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips

for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
