Trail Running Granny

Great job getting out early and beating me to the punch! You are not letting winter conquer you at all!

Wow Leslie!! You are hardcore!! I struggled getting my behind out of bed at 6:30 and then I was wimpy and ran at the gym!! :)

Great run!!

Great run Leslie! I will post our contest on my blog too. You are so brave to go out in the snow. We got pounded (mini pound-about 6-8") I was not brave enough to venture out with my brain a stuffed and my legs all wimpy :)

Have a grand ol' day! I think I want to hop in the car and go see Mama Mia in Vegas.

Can you swing by and pick me up? I loved the movie, I can't imagine the play being better, how can they make the ocean so blue and how could anyone do better than Meryl? It sounds so warm and tropical right now.

I actually loved the play more than the movie and saw it twice in Salt Lake. My sister and I are thinking of heading to Vegas in the spring to see Mamma Mia and the Donny and Marie Show.

Okay, I just looked at Benns diet on his blog and his first day looked so tiny, I eat twice that amount. Am I a pig or what??? I don't think I could keep that up for long.

So how is your sister anyway?

I want in, can we just not count this week for me, and I will start on Monday?? I think it should be the first week that is all in January, January did not start until Thursday this week, so it should not count at all!

What a crappy week for me, and the eating went down the drain pretty much, too! I have had ice cream every day in January so far! But, man could live on ice cream alone!!! I could prove that if anyone needs me to.

Funerals don't count either :) You are in! I am going to eat 100% better starting tomorrow, or course! I have been pretty good today :)

Okay, so funerals and then days when your husband turns off the alarm without waking you up (note to self: make him sleep on the couch instead of me).

STRESS EATING is a big problem with me! We have ababy blessing in the morning, too, so that is going to mess up fasting tomorrow with tons of way too calories laden food made by my mother in law. I can not catch a break this week!

Monday will be the start of a my New Year!!!!

Kelli, give yourself a break, what a tough week! Monday is the day! Monday will start the New Year and we will kick some serious butt!!

I just saw Run Fat Boy Run and it was really cute!!!

I'll need to go out and run now if I'm going to join in the contest. My goal was 5x a week, but if I'm going to do 5, how much harder really would it be to do 6?

Oh, but that would mean I'd need to do more laundry...I'm not so sure I could handle that! I'm still undecided!

AWESOME Leslie!! You got out there bright and early. Love your description of a peaceful winter run. I love my mattress too much. Another contest? I'm gonna have to find another blog...these contests are killing me.

Becca, I just recycle the same old running clothes for several days. Once you start running they get smelly anyway.

me too Muarine, I only wash them after several times out, if I run with friends I put on fresh ones. I don't want to gross anyone out.

Feel free to gross me out when you run with me. After all - we do freshen the air together :).

I'm a recylcler too with the clothes. I just take them off and hang them on hooks in my closet and wash them on wed and sat. Maybe that is why no one will run with me ???? I suppose it is kinda gross, but I don;t have many running clothes and if they get tossed in the laundry, I'd never see them again and it would be an excuse to not run :) I stink to make sure I run... no matter waht!

OH GROSS!!!! I just do a LOT of laundry, at least every other day! BUT Scott and I both work out twice a day (one run outside, then to the gym) on many days, so we get two stinky outfits a day. With that many stinky outfits plus 5 kids, it is not hard to get 2 full loads in every other day!!!

In all honesty, I sweat way too much!! And I STINK. Some people do not stink that much when they sweat, but I am not one of them!!! You guys must sweat perfume or something.

LOL - no perfume smell. Sometimes I gross me out. Let me put it this way - my workout clothes are the favorite thing for my dog to roll in because they smell so much. If I go to a gym, I do put on clean clothes, but for outside runs (particularly in the winter when I only have two pairs of tights) - I just reuse them after they dry.

Okay, I have reused my tights. There is not much sweat happening when it is 4 degrees outside!!!

I don't sweat at all, I go to the gym and everyone is sweating but me. I always wished I would sweat, maybe I would sweat off some weight, but I don't. The only advantage is I do less laundry, that is a good plus I guess.
