Last night I did something I haven’t done since third grade…
I went bowling!
SkinnyRunner and I showing off our mad skills.
I actually bowled the crap out of the first game and WON by a brazillion points. Don’t you hate when someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing wins? That was me. Beginner’s luck!!
We were celebrating Bri’s birthday!
SR even made a cake! I think she actually retired from blogging to open a bakery!! Secret’s out.
Then I got my phone hacked by these gorgeous girls! Busted!!
But now it’s Monday and we need to get back to reality… and running…and eating healthy. So here is some motivation to start your week.
Motivation Monday.

Question: On a scale of 1 to 10 – how motivated are you this week?
Katie says
I LOVE bowling! How much fun! I don’t think I’ve been in like 5 years, but when I do go, I always have a blast, especially GLOW bowling! Glad you girls had fun!
Molly @ alsoranagain says
I’m an 8 this week… errrr, for now. I have some major work to do for my spring marathon coming up in May. Only 10 weeks away, so more more slacking!
Considering incorporating bowling as my cross training. What do you think?
Molly @ alsoranagain says
Um, that would be “no more slacking.” Apparently I need I take a typing (or proof reading) lesson.
Kelly says
I’m feeling pretty motivated this week, I’d give me a 7.5 right now…lets see how I feel Wednesday hash
Allison says
I love that first quote. Nope, I am not hair! Thanks for making me laugh 🙂
Losing Lindy says
expecting more snow again tonight, but at least had a great time with my walk2run group tonight
Zaneta says
Looks like you guys had tons of fun bowling!! I haven’t gone bowling in something like… 7 years?
I’m very motivated this week because next week is spring break baby!! woot woot! also I got more sleep last night so that might be why lol 😉
Happy Monday!
Livi says
haha I love the pictures! I am motivated to make it through this week for my birthday this weekend!
Kelly M says
I’m a 10!! I decided to commit to running my very first marathon this summer so that’s helped me get back at it!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I’m at about a 4 today. I’m super tired and still sore from my half this weekend. I’m looking for my next race and then I’ll be back in the groove!
Kim @FITsique says
I’m about an 8! Its my first day back to the grind after spring break, so I am ready to hit it hard, but also a little tired having to get up at 5am again!
Anel says
The cold is back in town so, my motivation is at about 4-5. Took me a while to go running and the first couple miles are hard but then I finished really strong! Whoop! I suck at bowling! I can never get out of the low double digits.
Amanda F. says
Love that “you are not hair” quote. Sobering and funny.
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
I think I’m pretty motivated because I actually got shit done this weekend, and didn’t start the week feeling like “omg I’m already so behind on this and this and this!” I worked hard on the blog, worked hard cleaning and organizing stuff, and got a little bit done on the wedding. Need to work on that a little bit more 🙂
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
I feel more motivated for the gym for some reason, but maybe that’s bc I feel less motivated for life. Im not sure what’s up on this lovely Monday, but I feel stressed out and that’s not typical for me. So I’m looking forward to getting to the gym and working it out.
Thanks for the motivation to help me with the nerves! Also I’ve had that happen with bowling too and no one likes you when it happens 🙂
Susan says
Motivation level to do nonessential but fun things is about an 8
Motivation to do things I SHOULD be doing? That’s about a 4…and I’m being generous by giving myself a 4. Oh wells.
Ashley says
LOVE that quote “you have fat. you are NOT fat”
Lisa @ runnermamablogger says
As I always tell you, I love your posts. How motivated am I, at the moment a 5, but that is because I feel crappy and ate crappy. I will let you know after I run tonight in 30 degrees windy weather how motivated I truly was. When is spring coming?
runeatrepeat says
Spring is around the corner! Hang tight 🙂
Flower says
Motivation, hmmmm, that depends on what I need to be motivated for….running, not so much, because I’m injured and by injured, I mean I should be taking a few weeks off but I am so motivated by chocolate that I need to run to offset the caloric intake. 😉
Denise says
I’d probably say I’m about a 7 every week. Just because once I get all my workout clothes on I sit down and started reading stuff on the internet…. and like today, caught sucked into these silly kid snippets. Here’s one on Runners… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGlegByTDLU
Rob Runs says
It’s 12:31PM on a Monday, I’ve been at work for four hours, and I’ve done… nothing. So I guess my motivation is missing! After a weekend of 60 degree temps we’re also expecting snow tomorrow so I think that’s got me down.
sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I love to bowl! I used to be on a league back before I started running. I still own my own ball and shoes =)
I’m actually pretty motivated this week. Maybe only 4ish today though but tomorrow I know i’ll be about an 8! I just don’t do Mondays =)
Megan @ The Skinny-Life says
My motivation is a 10 but it’s a little different than anyone else’s I’m sure. Mine is to keep biking and swimming and not overdue it so my foot can heal. What’s yours this week?
SR says
DONT TELL ANYONE ABOUT MY GLUTENFREE, SUGARFREE, DAIRYFREE, PEANUTFREE, FUN-FREE BAKERY!!!!!!
runeatrepeat says
Are the cakes free???
Susan says
You didn’t try to leave in those bowling shoes, did you? We all know how you love shoes! I’m sure if they’d had a wedged heel they fo sho would have been gone. 🙂
Mary@RunWalkLift says
After I get this leg cramp taken care of, I’ll be 9. I can’t wait to run in this sunshine.
I wonder if I could talk my girlfriends into a bowling party? I stink. We might have to put up the bumpers.
Ali says
I’m on my way out the door to a spin class, so I’m feeling motivated!
Elizabeth {Positively Healthy} says
I am a 10! I was sick all last week so I did very few sweat sessions, this has totally motivated me to get in some great workouts!
Jackie says
8! I hope it sticks hahah!
Kathryn says
I am super motivated this week! 34 days until my first marathon 🙂 I have two others scheduled for later this year, but the first is the one that means the most to me. I am in hyper-drive for the next couple of weeks. I read this blog every day, and while sometimes I want to eat hamburgers until my belly hurts, you always remind me why I love to run/eat healthy. Thanks for the awesome quotes today. They will help me stay motivated during my COLD run today!
Jojo @ RunFastEatLots says
Awesome can’t believe I won! 😀 thanks!!!
Jojo @ RunFastEatLots says
Oh and poops, my motivation is low today, prob a 2. I’m taking a rest day -_-
Captain Competition says
“You are not hair” – laughed out loud at my desk and my co-workers looked at me. Those bowling shoes are gorgeous.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
I’d say I’m an 8 only because I can’t seem to get away from this stupid sickness I’ve been dealing with. once it is gone then definitely a 10!
Jen @ Pretty Little Grub says
I’m about a 3 today. I finished my half marathon on the weekend so now I need a new goal to get me motivated. Today I’m just feeling sore still and pretty unmotivated to get my booty to the gym.
Aranka says
