Five Things

First of all: I LOVE reading all your entries for the SPIbelt giveaway and hearing why you love being a runner! It’s so inspiring to hear why you run and it makes me even more grateful to be a part of the running community. Seriously, if you need some inspiration, motivation or just a little boost of happiness in your day, go check out the comments on that post!

Thank you all so much for your comments – I’ve been surprised by just how much I’ve enjoyed reading your comments on the topic…it’s been kind of touching, really. It’s hard to explain but it’s reminded me how much I have to be grateful for as a runner and all it adds to my life. So thanks for the reminder friends.

Second: you know how I said I was trying to back off Teeter Thai? Well…this happened the past two nights.But I SWEAR it wasn’t my idea! Both nights the friends I dined with suggested it without any prompting from me. I also swear the guy who works there knows who I am by now. And I think he’s starting to judge me.

Third: I took Maizey for a walk tonight and I nearly froze my fingers off. WHY can’t I ever remember to wear gloves? At least I’m making progress in other stay-warm efforts: I finally invested in a long down coat this year (I previously had a waist-length one) and I’m obsessed. It’s so warm! It’s “packable down” which I hear is all the rage these days. It’s BCBG and I got it at Nordstrom Rack.

Fourth: Having Krankies Coffee within walking distance from my office now that I work downtown is the best. It’s the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

Fifth: I really need to get a better picture for you guys of the Christmas decoration at this house near my neighborhood, both during the day and night. I mean…that’s money. 😉 Literally…I can’t imagine their power bill.

Happy almost weekend!
