- Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Financially we are not doing so great so I told my hubby to get me JUST a card and NO Gifts! Tough love because I love GIFTS. I got him a cute card & some chocolate (He loves candy!!). He got me a card & a stuffed teddy bear with candy (I gave him the candy.) It’s the thought that counts!! Unfortunately he’s hates shopping & I always have to tell him what to get me (like a Garmin for Christmas, etc.) Next year, I’ll tell him to get me a Starbucks gift card instead of candy!!

What do you think of these?
- I’m running smart. I keep hearing about running injuries and I don’t want it to be me! I’m no spring chicken! Since my foot is not great…I am NOT running on days that I play tennis. I will run on the treadmill 3 times before work or outside after work (when I have nothing scheduled) Wed, Thurs & Friday. I will then do my long run on Sunday outside. When I don’t play tennis on Mon and/or Tuesday, I will run and then take Friday off and do my long run on Saturday. That’s the plan!

- Yesterday it was 52 degrees outside in the morning. Today it is 12 degrees!! Crazy weather! I hope the worst of the winter is over and the snow melts! I can’t wait for SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!



Your comment about not being a spring chicken (and the little cartoon) made me chuckle. Just last night I was talking with my brother and he commented that I need to take care of myself (I currently have a cold and bronchitis) because I’m not a spring chicken any more. He then included himself on that statement.
We’ve had great weather since Friday but expecting snow this Friday. I’m with you – I’m so ready for spring!

I think it’s definitely the thought that counts for V-Day! My husband and I also decided to just exchange cards this year. He usually buys me flowers, but I told him not to this year. Although a Starbucks gift card would have been nice 🙂

I think you’re very smart to run smart! I have the same ideas about that as you have. I would be very disappointed to get injured now that I’m so close to my first half marathon. I’d rather take an extra rest day if that’s necessary.

I love your idea about running smart. Last week when I was sick, it killed me that I couldn’t run – but I knew getting out in the cold, running & getting back in the cold would only keep me sicker longer. No way I wanted that happening!
