Winter has arrived in Ottawa. As you can tell, Jersey hates the snow! :)
We had a viewing scheduled for 6pm tonight. I arrived home and cleaned like a mad woman, only to have the doorbell ring at about 5h30. “I advised your agent we’d be a little early” Only problem with that is, my agent forgot to tell me.
I was quasi ready to go, so I grabbed Jersey and set out on a run. The problem was, because I was so rushed I didn’t have time to grab my garmin or my mp3 player. I ran around the block a couple of times, as I was planning on stopping back at the house to grab my technology. They were taking forever to look at the house, so I just decided to head out of the neighborhood on my 5k route. After I finished that route, I was still feeling pretty good so I kept on trucking and ended up doing almost 10k when all was said and done! I just listened to my body to judge my pace and I felt amazing the entire time. I cannot believe I lasted for over an hour without music. That my friends, is a miracle.
Tonight marked the first time of the season that I rocked my ponytail hole toque. This thing is awesome! Sorry for the crappy pic, its hard to take a self portrait of the back of your head with a SLR!
Post run shine:
Dinner tonight was quite excellent.
Balsamic chicken with mushrooms, balsamic roasted brussels and mashed potatoes.
I have some verrry exciting news to share this week. Stay tuned!

Toque = genius. I can't wait until all of this house selling stuff is settled for you!
I wanna know your exciting news nooow. *Pout*
Did you find it hard to run without music or anything? I guess not, considering how far you ran! Good job! I seriously don't think I could run without my ipod!
Beautiful night for a run!
Jersey is so cute!!! There's nothing quite like a beautiful big dog playing in the snow. Way to go on your run! Your hat is an awesome invention!!!
doesnt everything taste better on a holiday themed plate? And you are so in the business of making sprouts popular! I added them to my next grocery list!
And every time someone says exciting news, I can't help but think "baby"!
Hey!! That's totally my chicken recipe!!
OK fine, I stole it from WW, but I'm sure I stole it first!!!
I make it often for guests and they have no idea it's "healthy". It's even one of FH's faves.
Sorry to butt in, but I just wanted to say that if you check my blog, you'll see an award for you there!
oooh you can NOT tease us like that! :)
I am SOO getting one of those hats! :) Awesome run, I guess I should get my ass out in the cold soon eh?
I love Jersey, she's adorable.
That's incredible! It must be a great feeling knowing that you don't "need" any technology to get you through a great run!
Last night I watched the BL episode from last week where they all ran a marathon and none of them had any mp3 players, just cameras in their faces and buddies to run along side.
(I GOT ALLLLL PUMPED UP!!! :-D)
Sweet 'unexpected' run. Winter is arriving here tomorrow...and you would think the world is ending the way they talk about it. I am doing my Tuesday/Thursday Zone5 and 3 runs without music. I need the attention to be on my speed zones. I am saving music for my brain dead Sunday long runs. (which are ramping up to scary distances already)
want some news?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. That reminds me: I have brussels sprouts in my fridge. Good job on the run! Too bad about the forgetful agent but nice to know you can rock it without the tunes!
