Ugh

If I had to describe my run this morning in one word, I’d have to say ROUGH. I never got into my groove, Jersey was irritating me, and the wind was freezing. Ah well, bottom line is that I got out there right? I ended up running 6.5k when all was said and done.

I’m not really sure why I decided to blog, as I don’t really have much to say.

I’m stranded at home today. Andrew took his car, and mine doesn't have snow tires. I never drive it (I bus or walk to work) so I didn’t bother putting them on, and its law to have snow tires in Quebec.

My plans include: washing every piece of clothing that came to Mexico, doing a workout on EA Active, dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, vacuuming and maybe sneak in a little Mario time.

My hair appointment was pretty uneventful. I ended up just getting my roots done and a trim. You can barely even tell.

Hair after: I had to use the flash to make it turn out. Man, flash is NOT flattering!

I can’t believe I forgot to blog about this very exciting news.  A few months ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. While we were away in Mexico, my Dad had surgery and the good news is they were able to successfully remove ALL THE CANCER! He’s not completely out of the woods yet, and has a long road ahead of him in terms of recovery. But, I can sleep a little easier knowing that my Dad will be a-ok! :)

Glad your Dad is ok :)

Hey how's your Xweighted challenge going? I know you are just back from vacation but how is you're weight loss going?

Have a great weekend.

Caitlin said...

So good to hear that about your dad! I hope everything goes well on his road to recovery. Good job on getting the run in. It's motivating to see people run outside...I find every excuse to not go when it's cold outside, but the treadmill is getting boring.

10h30 tomorrow works for me! (And Mousie!)

See you then.

I hate runs like that, they suck!

So glad to hear about your Dad. My Dad had prostate cancer years ago. He ended up needing to have radiation therapy (no surgery or chemo) but they seem to have gotten it all and he's been clear for quite a few years now.

The hair looks lovely, the brunette is always so striking on you Amy. Although I understand the allure of the highlights myself :) you always look great!
