Way to go on W3D2! You are moving right along!

That is cute!

It just means that all of us who are doing it will do it on our own that day and then report online our time. Does that make sense?

What day is the virtual?

Sorry, but the purse just isn't a motivator for me!

Sunday - Valentine's Day.

What? Not your style or color?

Thanks!

Did you ever get a hipster or any other Vera Bradley bag? I remember how much you liked mine when I visited last year.

I'm sure I won't be running -- snowshoes slow me down too much.

Sunday is Valentine's Day? Sounds like I'm going to have to get a Valentine's card and Anniversary card. Thanks for the reminder!

No, never got one. I still want a hipster!

Yeah, that could hinder things a bit.

Uh oh! You got married on Valentine's Day?

No, the 18th....tried to get close to Valentine's Day, but still be a Saturday.

 

[DisMomAmy]

That makes sense! I figured it was something like that, but wasn't exactly sure. Sounds like a fun!

Just stopping by to say "good morning" Carissa!!!




OK, I LOVE this purse!!! Since moving from Boston to Southern California, I have changed up allot on how I dress and what accessories I buy....I was more of a conservative type that bought clothes that would have to match everything in my closet including all my accessories etc.
I AM NOW A NEW PERSON....going out on a limb and trying all different styles and COLORS, and COLORS and COLORS....sooooo mommy23b's, I LOVE YOUR NEW PINK PURSE!!!!

Here's a pic of the new purse....he also got me the matching zip wallet.

YIKES!!! Been so busy lately, I forgot

VALENTINE'S DAY

is around the corner....or actually SUNDAY!!!!!!

 

[liznboys]

BOMA dinner!

We'll see how fun I think it as after I run on Sunday.

Morning, Karen! We mailed our Valentine's Day package to Chuck early and he's already received it. I had decorated the inside of the box and it was very PINK. He didn't mind and when I asked if any of the guys saw it and made fun of him, he said nope. Some seemed jealous.

BOMA dinner!

Is this to remind me to add it to my list of things to do?

Just an FYI - I posted a link to Cynthia's Pizza Soup recipe in the first post of this thread. Thanks again, Cynthia!

~ W3D3 ~

It has been very cold here the past couple of days with windchills bringing the temperature down even more. I just haven't been able to get warm! Last night before bed I started feeling dizzy and I kept waking up cold during the night. I had on long pants, long-sleeved shirt, two pairs of socks, and I finally put on a hoodie. This was to sleep in! I even kept the heat higher than I normally do. I'm someone who is usually always warm so I thought maybe I was getting sick.

Anyway, I did my run today and it went great! I was worried I'd feel dizzy on the treadmill, but that wasn't a problem. I think increasing my speed on Tuesday and then going back to my normal, slower pace today made the worktout seem easier. I was finally able to complete all of my run intervals without stopping. I even felt good enough to throw in an extra 90 second run at the end.

I think I'm going to take Saturday off from running since I'm doing the virtual 5K on Sunday. I'll plan to do some cross-training tomorrow and Saturday. I haven't decided if I'm going to move on to week four next Tuesday or stick with week three for another day or so.

"A goal without a plan is just a wish."

~ Larry Elder

My totals for today:

Speed: 3.5 for warm up, 4.0 for jogs/3.5 - for brisk walks, 3.5 --> 3.0 cool down
Duration: 30 minutes
Distance: 1.8 miles

Ugh! My house is that cold too! I hate it!!

But I love that your workouts are getting easier!! You've only been working out for a little over 3 weeks and you're already in better shape!! This gives me great hope!!

 

[liznboys]

Not really, I was just excited thinking about it so I posted that here.

I'm sorry you were dizzy and cold! Hope you're not getting sick! I get so cold too. I have had our heat set to 72 degrees sometimes and I am still chilly. Why does 72 degrees outside feel so much warmer than 72 degrees inside??

Way to go on W3D3 and even doing an extra run! woohoo!

These townhomes that we live in are not well insulated. And I hate to crank up the heat after last month's electricity bill! It was $100 more than during the summer when I was running the A/C. I just don't get it.

If I can do it, then you can do it.

I feel fine now. Running helped warm me up. Not to mention the hot shower afterwards. And we just got back from running some errands and it's not so windy out today and the sun is shining.

I told Chuck about eating at Boma for dinner after the half and he's excited to try it too.

Will be thinking about you Carissa, having to spend Valentine'sDay apart from Chuck.

Our electricity bill was apparently super high this past month ....dh asked what I'd been doing around here. lol I've been cranking up the heat I guess! I turned it down to 69 after he told me that.

Glad you feel warm and fine. Love the sun!

Yay for Boma!! So I guess you won't mind me being the 3rd wheel then?!
You and Chuck--> .........ME-->

Awwww - thanks Michelle.

There was one month last summer when I kept the temperature higher than normal (so the A/C wouldn't kick on so often) and started hanging my clothes on a drying rack in the back and not using the dryer. I couldn't believe it when I got my bill and it really didn't make a difference. I see no rhyme or reason to our bill being higher.

I love the sun in the winter. In the summer, I'm happier when it's behind the clouds.

You won't be a 3rd wheel! We'll have other meals alone. Plus, it'll be fun to have someone to chat about the race with. And who knows - it may end up being just you and I anyway!

I live that your workout went so well today even though you weren't feeling great.

Our utility bills are so outrageous that I do not turn the heat up during the day...I've been known to sit around with a parka. Our house is insulated just fine but the utility rates are obscene. It was a lot worse in my old house, I ended up having to get all new windows at that house after I received a 1K gas bill!
