Hello! How are ya doing?
I’m all caught up on sleep after my fun weekend in Las Vegas, but it seems like the other Vegas is still working on his 23 hours of shut eye a day…
Yesterday morning I laced up my shoes and was doing a little walking around my tiny condo making coffee, yelling at my cat, checking email…
Then, I realized I somehow tracked dried dirt clumps my from shoes all over!!! #Fail So, I spent a good chunk of time yesterday cleaning. (Note: my suitcase from Vegas is still just thrown there.
Don’t worry, I wasn’t too ambitious – this pile of mail is still chilling.
Now it’s time for Pile on the Miles!!
Pile on the Miles Wednesday Check In
We’re trying to stay focused on MOVING this month! Thanksgiving and all the delicious goodness that comes along with that is just around the corner. Let’s do this!!
This week I’m giving away 5 pairs of Mizuno Running Shoes! I’ll share some tips on finding the right Mizunos for you in a bit – so I’m going to hold off on announcing more winners until that’s up. I don’t want you to choose the wrong shoe since running kicks are super important!!
Reminder: I know it’s cold. I know it get dark earlier. I know it’s a busy time of year… but you made a goal. YOU signed up to challenge yourself and Pile on the Miles this month. STICK WITH IT!!!
