Thoughts from [a run on] a Thursday

Life Ramblings March 8, 2012

  • I don’t think I’ve been on an outdoor run since December. I don’t do winter.
  • I discovered a greenway near my work and it was a great place to run. Gotta do that more often.
  • Running outside really hurt my knees and I move at the pace of a snail.
  • There were so many fun houses to look at. It’s funny how my taste has changed. I used to be so concerned with the size and cub appeal, but now I just want a house that’s cozy with hardwoods and character.
  • The warm (but not hot) weather reminds me of being in college – this is my first spring in NC since I graduated and it brings back so many memories. It’s also reminds me of Nantucket. For some reason, I’ve been really craving a visit these days. I think it’s because we’ve visited in May the past two years, just as the temperatures on the island were starting to hit the 70’s.
  • I miss living near the water.
  • I brainstormed dinner while running: roasted broccoli, goat cheese, carrots, pecans, masala burger, cilantro hummus toast.

  • I must have a handful of Puffins before bed.
  • What am I gonna pack tonight? I’m going to see my grandmother tomorrow!
  • What memories come flooding back to you when the weather gets warm?

    I only run outside and it kind of hurts my right knee, too. I heard running shoes with less of a heel can help with that. I’m also as slow as a snail. 🙂

    I can’t run when it’s cold either, but then when it gets too hot – there is another excuse! I have a hard time breathing so when the weather gets cold my asthma gets worse.

    I think I tried an outdoor run in January…. I didn’t take to it. I just don’t “do” winter, either! Do you ever find in the summer, though, it’s too warm to exercise? Unless it’s early or evening I suppose…

    Warm weather mostly reminds me of being a kid.. we had a big under ground pool, so in the summers we were always outside and always had people coming over. Parties, BBQs, whatever. Yesterday we had our first really warm day and I was reminded of where I used to hike when I lived in CA, and bike rides.. I can’t wait for bike rides! Thanks for getting me in the mood for spring 🙂

      Yeah, in the summer I go to the gym most days.

      Wish I had had a pool growing up – that sounds like so much fun!
