Last I wrote that I had skipped my Friday morning run because I got home so late Thursday night.

Good news!! Because of the snowstorm, my work closed at noon.  That meant I had time to go to the gym.  My hubby even drove me because the roads were so bad. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill watching “Off the Map.”

Even though my Friday night Mah Jongg game was cancelled, we ended up going to friends for dinner and playing cards.  I had a fun evening anyway!

Believe it or not, more snow Saturday morning!! Not a lot, just enough to be a nuisance!  I spent the day cleaning out closets.  I filled 11 bags with clothes that I don’t need and I didn’t even make a dent!!!  I also got my hair cut & visited with my mentee.

We went out to dinner Saturday evening.  I started to not feel that great so I took most of my dinner home 😦

Today was a beautiful day!  The sun was shining.  It warmed up to the mid 30s.  The snow was melting in the roads.  I had to go run!!!

I didn’t feel great but I thought I would feel better once I got running.

I parked my car at work and took a new route. It was slow going – between the puddles, climbing snow banks to go on the road then stopping to avoid getting splashed by passing cars and feeling rather nauseous and weak.

 I ran around Washington Park several times.  It was nice since the roads were clear and there was no traffic.  I managed to drag myself through 8.5 miles.  I had planned to do more.  But the way I felt, I am happy to have gotten that done.  I walked a lot and it took me almost 1 3/4 hours.  I hope to have a better run next weekend.

Happy Running!
