Because sometimes, in the middle of winter, you’re gifted with a pretty perfect spring-like day, and you HAVE to take advantage!

I wore my polka dot pixie pants today, and ran a decent 3 miles after work in the warm weather. I postponed tonight’s date to next week because my stomach has been bugging me. No regrets.

You guys…the nice guy texted AGAIN! He’s trying things with his ex one more time, but he wants to keep talking to me! Seriously dude? If that was my boyfriend I’d be angry. I told him I’d think about it. But honestly, no. Just no. Clearly there’s a lot of trust there if he’s essentially trying to keep me on the backburner while he waits for his relationship to crash and burn again! Ugh.

I’ve made a new girl friend at work. She’s awesome, she runs, and she’s really nice. #besties. Making friends as an adult is weird. But she’s great. We went to get sushi for lunch today.

Tomorrow is Friday. I’m so ready. Bring it on! Have a good one friends!

What’s that I see? Are those Melissa’s legs in SHORTS for an outside run for the first time in forever?

Why yes, yes they are! It is so nice outside. I wanted to run 13 miles, but woke up too late for that. I then decided I could run 7, but cut it down to 5 when I realized my cold was still kicking my butt.

I’m not complaining, but you guys! It was almost humid out! I am not acclimated to the warm weather yet. They’re forecasting thunderstorms possibly tonight, so that explains the humidity and warmth. It was a rough, rough run. 5 miles//12:07 pace. So slow for me. 

There were a few houses with their sprinklers on. I was a fan, especially when the wind caught the water and I got a cool, wet breeze. I was HOT!

And, some trees are blooming. Hooray for spring!

I’m going to hit the showers and get ready to head to Corky this afternoon.

Happy Weekend friends!

Happy Friday!!!! I’m in a pretty great mood because:

  1. It’s 78 degrees and PERFECT outside!! Light breeze, no clouds. LOVE IT. And the day is almost over. I’m happy, happy.
  2. 80 tomorrow, and some thunderstorms possible. Gotta love it.
  3. I went to the Dentist again for my poor teeth. The good news? I need 4, count em 4, fillings. But NO ROOT CANALS or crowns YAY! He thinks that is the problem…there are some surfaces that are mini cavities. I’m a mess. But its better than any other alternatives. He also says I need to use a Sonicare Toothbrush and this product called Sonicare Air Floss. So that will be expensive. But will hopefully prevent further issues.
  4. I’m planning a long run tomorrow, then 2-11 at Corky. MONEY!!
  5. I got a $1 off coupon to my favorite Froyo place. Love that!

Happy Weekend Friends!

It is 80 degrees outside. I repeat 80 degrees!!!!! 

Why am I stuck inside ALL FREAKIN’ DAY? Gah!

Straight to Corky after work tonight for a sold out class on Wine Down Wednesday. (half price bottles of wine).

Let’s talk about Life:

  • As of yesterday, I paid off another Credit Card!!! This is so, so awesome. I have one left to pay off. I’m thinking that will happen by the end of the year. Fiscal Responsibility FTW!

  • I have 11 more months of Student Loan Payments left!! 
  • I did NOT run last night. One of my bestie’s called; she and her boyfriend went ring shopping on Sunday. There was girl talk to be done. I regret nothing.
  • My cold is kicking my butt. No morning run this morning. 😦
  • However, I’d rather be sick now than the week before the marathon. So I’m fine. No worries. I need to run for my sanity and because I love it. So maybe tomorrow or Friday.
  • My friend made me a marathon music playlist. I’m excited to listen to it. I need some new jams.

That’s all I got friends.

 Happy Hump Day!!

This is happening.

50’s this weekend, and then we’re looking at UPPER 50’s next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Oh, I’m sure it will be cold again. In fact, it’s supposed to be in the 30’s tomorrow. But right now? It’s gorgeous. As in, the newsroom door is propped open and its fantastic in here.

I want to leave RIGHT now to go run. Stupid 5pm news.

Come on Spring!

Is this January? Is this Nebraska?

Yes on both accounts. This day is perfection. Warm(!) And sunny, breezy and fantastic for a run in a t-shirt and capris.

5.05 miles for me, then Lola and I went for a mile walk. The windows are open and I’m relaxing.

Sunday is awesome.

Have a great one friends!

Blame it on the weatherman

I woke up to the sounds of rolling thunder and the sight of lightning.
I was so mad! My run outside was thwarted, again! Mother nature is being quite rude lately.
Instead of heading down to my treadmill, I simply reset my alarm and rolled back over.
But there would be no more sleep. Nope, not for this girl. So instead I got up and did Ab Ripper X. Seems like an ok compromise. I guess. I’m itching to get out and run. My legs want to go, I need a good run. Tomorrow morning for sure!

Have a good day friends!

I could not ask for a more perfect day; sunny, warm, a gentle breeze and I already did my long run yesterday? Fantastic!

I’m currently camped out in the backyard on a towel with a magazine and sounds of chirping birds to keep me company. I’m trying to even out my Capri tanlines.

This is bliss.

Happy Sunday friends!
