Weekend Wrap Up!

It was a snowy weekend in Central PA!
I had fun mostly just chilling at home with Paul.
Here is what I was up to...

Friday started with a two hour delay! The best part was that we got the call the night before, so I knew I would have extra time in the morning. The reason for the delay? The crazy windchill temperature! Is was about -25!!! Seriously, when I left the gym after my treadmill workout, my hair was still wet. Within ten seconds it was frozen. I am not joking!

I messed with the speed a little bit! Worked my way up to a 6:58 pace and hung there for a mile and a half. Then I worked my way back down. It was uncomfortable (not my knee- BREATHING!) but I did it!

Friday night was wild and crazy. It included a trip to Wal Mart, a new kind of boxed wine, and an entire season of Survivor rented from the library. The Michael-Cooneys really know how to live it up!!!!

What!? A Friday night in our robes? No....

Thanks to an early morning wake up call from the kitties, I was able to get a run in before it started snowing!

It was 8 degrees. What does one wear on a run that is 8 degrees?

I'm so glad you asked...

I spent most of the day researching and booking hotels for a vacation we are taking this summer. More on that, eventually! I don't want to jinx it. Remember the Hawaii fiasco? Yeah, that's one of the things I think about when I lay awake all night. 

We ate dinner while watching Survivor. Mine was a salad with a turkey burger on top with a side of sweet potato fries!

The cats woke me up dark and early. It was okay, I was sort of excited to start my day. Drink coffee, relax, shovel some snow, get a good workout in...

I started off with some lifting and mobility work.

I ran entirely too much so far this week, so to grab some endorphins and let off some steam, I did my Snow workout 4 times. I took substantial breaks in between to gear up for the next round because this workout is NO JOKE!

Here are my splits...

Round 1- 7:56

Round 2- 7:13

Round 3- 7:03

Round 4- 6:27

The kitties hijacked my towel during one of my breaks.

That afternoon we went to my brother's house to play games. Check out my niece, Clementine, doing the Macarena...

That night we had dinner and watched more Survivor. In case you care, it's Season 3- Africa, rented from the library. I saw it when it originally aired 14 years ago, but forgot a lot of it. It is a really good season! Our definition of a really good season is when there are people you like and people you hate. It's almost as fun to root against someone as it is to root for someone!

Oh, I wanted to leave you with a beautiful video... Feeling stressed? Feeling anxious? Need your heart filled with warmth? Watch Christmas clean himself. It will soothe all of your ails.

Tell me something fun about your weekend!
