I really loved this post!! Like you, I’ve never gotten on the WIAW train. Even though I like to see other people’s eats and recipes, I think my daily meal plan would bore people to death!
I’m thankful for having such a beautiful place to run in. Not everyone gets perfect weather and a perfect backdrop for pictures! I really had a gereat day and I have to attribute it to the city in which I live (although I do take it for granted sometimes and wish I lived somewhere else)!
In Wednesdays to come I hope for speedy legs just like yours. Actually I hope for that every day.
I haven’t read it yet, but I have been hearing really good things about The Help and The Happiness Project. I really want to read them both!
so i’m SOOO mad cuz i replied to this comment and now i’m looking and seeing the comments i wrote to BOTH u and julia have disappeared?!?! ummm, i thought i left these probs back in bloggertown!
at any rate, i wrote that i agree u have some fab places to run in and as for eating the same things…hey, if we like it then everyone else can just bugger off! 😉 jk. but then i made a remark that i’ve seen all the scrummy things u eat and i HARDLY think anyone finds it boring…just droolworthy! 🙂
yay!!! love this post! and I kinda wish I got nervous when I spent money like you said you do…i am way too confident in the whole “it will work out” thing when I spend money. oops. shopping is therapy though right??? i hope so. haha!
so jealous of your Borders gift cards!!!!!!! i just went last week and bought 2 books…I already want to go back in again! I bought The Happiness Project and Dean’s 50 in 50 book.
I agree with your reasoning for the WIAW. I eat the same thing EVERY day. I am pretty boring. haha. I started WILW (what I learned wed) on my blog…well maybe other people do it too i don’t know. but for me i started my blog and running because it is all about the journey to me. I want to learn more about running, life and myself as I go so I felt like the theme fit 🙂
read above, i dunno where my comment to u went?!?! i’m mad cuz i wrote a long one as per usual, so i’m sorry but now u can only get the cliff notes version…lol.
okay, nothing wrong with retail therapy, so long as my julia bud is smiling!!! thanks for the book suggestions and i will get on that! finally, i LUV how u started the what i learned wed, cuz it’s totally unique and i always steal knowledge from reading wat u have to share. 🙂 i too hope u are doing great!!
Aaagh! I tried to comment last night but for some reason it shut me out and lost what I had written – internet I shaketh my fist at thee!!
I completely agree with not doing WIAW, I eat the same thing everyday. In fact if I am having a spectacularly boring day and have forgotten my lunch I end up having oatmeal for breakfast and lunch. But hey, it works 🙂
I love the idea of what you are grateful for on Wednesday, just to get over that mid week schlump 🙂 Wednesday was a public holiday here in Brisbane so I was grateful that I got the day off and I got to do the grocery shopping which I really enjoy doing.
Super jealous of your Borders cards! Spend them wisely my friend 🙂 I agree with Julia The Happiness Project is what I bought last time I was at Borders and it looks good even if I haven’t managed to read it yet! It’s on the pile (which is threatening my life every time I lie in bed).
Something I am hoping for on Wednesdays to come? Well in two Wednesdays time I hope to be in Yosemite with my darling Ben! I fly out for LA in only 8 days!!
Keep smiling pretty lady 🙂
YES, benny to come…i’m super excited for u! 🙂 u’re too cute.
any excuse for u to get off of work and go shopping is a score in my book..i think there should be more just ‘get off of work period’ days around…keep things fresh. 😉 thanks for the backing of the happiness projects too, looks like i’ve got at least one ‘for sure’ on my list!!
arg, sorry about the lost comment…i HATE that…and this girl feels u like none other on wanting to kill a faulty internet connection and stubborn computer.
hope u have a great rest of ur night, and by now i think it’s only SEVEN days! 😉
I wonder why Wednesday gets all the love? I’m going to have to start some Maniacal Mondays or something to balance it out.
I’m so thankful that I’ve come out pretty unscathed after 18 months of running–I was thinking about that yesterday, only one minor injury (PF). Knock on wood, but I’m so grateful for that!
And how did you get so wise Miss Cait? You’re so right about my tempo runs. Me and Garmin are just BFF big time. We should probably take a little break so I can think about something OTHER than my pace. I’m pretty obsessive about ALL things, not just running, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I obsess over splits and times!
hey, u’re talking to the QUEEN of OCD and mile/time obsessed. but even i know that sometimes too much knowledge is a bad thing. my doc orders would be to second the motion to ditch the garmin and go off of how u feel for a bit. have u done fartlecks lately? just use ur watch and run hard for 1min then 1 min easy and repeat. do the same thing with 2mins hard/2 mins easy. the third week do repeats of 3min’s on/off. then, the fourth week do a ladder: 1min on/off then 2min on/off then 3min on/off and repeat from the start. does that make sense? enjoy some freedom in just running hard and forgetting about wat the pace may be. when u got back to more structured time/pace workouts u’ll feel mentally refreshed. 🙂
