I Just Did It.

I have been running every other day for about a year an a half now.

technically two years, but I don't count that awkward time of kinda-sorta running now and then.

I am training for a half-marathon which will take place on April 14.

I am so freakin' excited.

13.1, baby.

It has also been all cold and rainy and crappy outside lately...  Not my favorite.

Cold+Rain=My least favorite running weather ever, actually.

So you can imagine my disgust when I stirred, woke, and stretched this morning only to look out the window and see overcast, freezing cold, rainy ickness out there.

mehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sadface!

But I did it anyway.

I procrastinated all day long.

But I did it, and now I'm done.

5 miles checked off the list.

you can do it too!!!

Cucumbers

Cucumbers smell awesome.


They also taste pretty awesome too.


They are also stinkin $0.40 each at Walmart.


FORTY CENTS, people!


I'm a sucker for a good deal like that.


But anyway, I ate a salad tonight that will probably make you scrunch up your nose and maybe churn your stomach a bit.  Until you try it.  Then you might either heave into a trash can like I do when I encounter Jellybeans (don't ask.  Bad childhood experience) 


or


you will love it like I did.


diced cucumber half + mandarin oranges + sliced almonds (or walnuts would be yummy too) + a healthy (healthy meaning a lot. not the "ooh hehe I don't eat anything ever, I just live on smiles and rainbows" healthy eating) dollop of cottage cheese + a teaspoonish squirt of honey on top.


nomnomnomnomnomnom.

Awesome Stuff of the Day

I keep running across cool stuff today, like this pool porch (random Pinterest find -- no URL or anything.  It's probably a photoshopped scam, but if I say that a fairy will probably die or something - or DHEC will make a rule against porch pools - So I'll just say isn't that AWESOME???

Then I was gawking Inspired to Share's post on treehouses.  One day, I will sleep in a treehouse.  Somehow.

Then I ate an avocado and licked the pit clean.

superdelish, y'all.

Then I came upon Loops of Lavender, a lovely blog of loveliness.  Check her out!

And finally, I heard that McDonald's small frappes are a buck each till the 26th.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

happy Tuesday, folks! :)
