Hello! How’s it going? Over here it’s going bumpy because I was stopped again on my run today. My go-to running path was shut down for the 3rd day in a row. Grrrrrr.
It’s frustrating because I couldn’t tell at first so I ran out for a mile and then had to cut my run super short yesterday and today. They are filling cracks in the road and I could run around them but since they’re using hot oil (according to the sign I saw the first day) they don’t let anyone go around. Boo. It sucks because I can’t tell if the path is going to be closed when I first start running since it’s only shut down where they’re doing the work, but that could be 0.5 miles away or 5 miles away. And this has never happened before so I wasn’t expecting it to take multiple days.
I wasn’t that upset yesterday because it happens and you have to roll with the punches, but three days in a row is not cool. I have to drive somewhere to run tomorrow or I’m going to go crazy.
Since my run was ruined I went home and did 21 day fix upper body. I’ve been skipping lower body a lot since my legs are already tired from so many miles of running.
I switch out of my running shoes when I get back from a run and change into another pair for cross training. I don’t want to ‘waste’ my running shoes on other activities. Do you have different shoes for different activities?
I bought a big can of black beans and turned them into healthy refried beans to go with dinner. I didn’t get a pic of anything else though. And the fact that this isn’t the prettiest food doesn’t really help the paint the picture of an amazing meal, but at least trust me that the beans are amazing.
I am still completely obsessed with my Fabletics tee and wear it 99% of the time (I take it off to shower).
Between the repeated failed runs this week and work and therapy I was super anxious yesterday. I decided to take a break and get my nails done.
It was a great idea because the nail place was empty and it was the best mani/pedi ever. I got a super neutral color on my hands but it has a little sparkle so I love it. Check out out Vegas yawning in the background. Ha! He obviously doesn’t care about my nail color.
And then I had fun pretending to squeeze his head and pick him up from afar.
Ha! You and I share the same humor…that photo of ‘pinching’ kitty’s head cracked me up is he a salon kitty?
I only wear my running shoes for running. I try and save them for mileage to get the most out of them because it feels like they’re an investment. Sometimes I find a great sale, but they’re often pretty expensive.
I have shoes for walking, shoes for hiking, shoes for the gym and cleats for my bike. I need some decent running shoes because I’m trying to take that up.
Love the nail polish. So cute!
Yes, I use different shoes for different things as well. I get really stressed out if I need to run by the store after running because I don’t want to ‘waste’ my shoes there.
OMG! I’m the same way!!
When my running sneakers get up to 350 miles I turn them into walking sneakers and buy new running sneakers.
I do not wear my running shoes to walk in or do x-training in unless I’m trying to break shoes in. I want to save those miles for my runs so they don’t break down too quickly!
i love your nail color! it’s really simple and pretty!!!! sometimes, the simple ones are the best.
That really sucks about your running path. That would really tick me off too- if that happened multiple days in a row.
I don’t wear shoes inside the house so I guess when I do my strength training at home, I’m normally barefoot.
But yes, I do wonder what to do with the retired running shoes- they’re shoes and they’re just not fit for more miles but they can still be worn. I guess they’ll be my hiking shoes next year.
Refried beans! sounds tasty 🙂
I need more running shoes in my life! I have 3 pairs — total — that’s all — even though I’ve been running pretty consistently for the past 4+ years.
Once I retire a pair, I use them for cross training. This is just one pair right now. Once I retire the next pair, the oldest pair is getting the boot! The other two pairs include my main bae pair and a pair that was a gift from my BFF — they are Merrell Barefoot Running shoes and I use them on shorter/faster runs.
