I haven’t done this in awhile so here it goes:
Loving: Noosa Yogurt ( I also add granola -usually gluten-free)
Not Loving: It’s expensive. The cheapest place to buy is Walmart. Not a fan. I prefer Target. But it is $.40 more there.
Loving: Getting out of work at 4 pm and it is still light outside. Soon I will be able to get my whole after work run in. I used to work until 5 pm in my old job (So I ran in the dark most of the winter).
Not Loving – My Job. It is what it is. And It’s not my cup of tea. But it pays the bills. Soon I will be traveling…ugh!! So far only scheduled for once or twice a month…
Loving – Our lack of snow. Sorry if you are a skier. But it’s great for us runners.
hooray for clear paths
Not Loving: My lack of motivation to work out. I haven’t gone to gym or done any strength training at home. I need a workout buddy. Plus the clothing. It’s cold out (when I run) and then it’s warm in the gym. How many outfits can I bring to work???
this photo was taken back in July
Loving: My Running Buddies. Alyssa had been busy for awhile so I was solo. Judy usually does not train in the winter. But they’re both back. I do short runs with Alyssa during the week and long runs with Judy on some weekends. Running is better with friends!!
Not Loving: Having to skip runs. If I’m not training for a big race, it really doesn’t matter but if I am (like for March 5 half marathon), I like to run 3 times during the week. This will be complicated with work responsibilities.
Today is Wednesday so I’m linking up with Coaches Corner–Debbie, Susie, Lora, and Rachel!
and Wild Workout Wednesday with Nicole, Annmarie, Jen, and Michelle.
Happy Running! What are you loving or not loving right now?

I like the loving/not loving format! I’m with you on loving the increased hours of sunlight! I’ve definitely been struggling motivating myself to run outside and the light is part of the issue. I haven’t tried that Noosa yogurt yet but now I definitely want to 🙂

Oops for prescheduling a post — since of course now we do have snow. It’s going to be hard to find places to run long again. It wasn’t much, but it doesn’t take much. 😦

No doubt they are fine. I have seen them have pockets of snow on the sidewalks sometimes — but that’s been in the snowmageddon winters.
It’s also supposed to get up to 40 today (although I never trust a forecast, of course).
I’ll still have to clear off the driveway.

Our driveway gets no sun (even if there was any). It won’t melt. Some of it will, but not all of it will. And as you now know, it’s a great big hill. I don’t like sliding down it (and once landed on my tush doing so).

I didn’t run at Ualbany and I heard that they were perfectly clear. Good to know since I may have to run there if we get lots of snow.

Like I said, the only times I’ve had problems there was when there’s tons & tons of snow. Which thankfully there isn’t. I think we still have an ice floe in the middle of our driveway . . .

LOL I moved this year to the desert and it hasn’t snowed here yet and I don’t think it will this year. But back in my hometown where I moved from they’ve been getting massive storms and some of the most snow in years and I am jealous, LOL Definitely want to go built some snow forts, LOL LOL
But I agree with you, love this time of year when every day we get more and more light. I was noticing yesterday that its now light here until a little after 6, that’s nearly an hour more sunlight than we had a month ago, love it!!!

I’ve never tried Noosa but it does look delicious!
I’m sorry you’re not enjoying your job. I guess there are two schools of thought on jobs – some people think you should do what you love so it never feels like work, but that usually means you’re putting a lot of energy and passion into it and have little time for anything else, and others think you should just work for work and find enjoyment and passion elsewhere! I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately because I recently changed positions at my school and I feel like I have a different thought process on what my job means to me these days.

Our weather has been absolutely miserable! No snow, but plenty of cold, damp, and wind. We might as well have snow and at least have something to show for it. I’m glad it’s my off-season, because of my treadmill time is NOT getting me anywhere (other than maintaining my cardio endurance). UGH. Rant over.

I feel like yogurt prices has skyrocketed in the past year or so. Some brands are shockingly expensive when you eat as much as we do – each of us has 1-2 tubs a day. I would like a snow day but I do like not having to worry about icy running paths.
