Miles run — 11.11
Hills — 8
Times I cursed going uphill — 4 (this could be an underestimation!)
Degrees out — 40 at the start
Layers of clothing shed — 1 (Thankfully my hubs and the boys drove by on their way home from hockey so I could hand off clothes and my handheld)
Short walk breaks because of my left knee — 3 (good thing I’m going back to Dr. Needles on Tuesday)
Runners I passed — 6
Runners too cool to say hi/wave/some form of acknowledgment — 2
Dogs as running buddies — 2
Drivers on their cell phones — 20+ (I stopped counting)
Negotiations (get to the next stop sign/mailbox/telephone pole, etc) — 4 usually while going uphill
Times I thought “What a great morning!” — too many to count!
That sounds like a great run, Michelle! It’s nice to see the positive thoughts outweighed the negative!! Way to Conquer those hills
I love this 🙂
Awesome list! I honestly do some of the same things when running. Too funny!!
I like how to “positive talk” yourself throughout the run.
That really balances out the cursing. 🙂
Good job! 11.11 miles. Love the numbers!
Great job on not letting those hills get you! 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement, Michelle…and glad to hear you had such a great run yourself!
And shame on those who don’t say “hello” back to you…..I always go out of my way to nod/wave/smile at other runners and even though it’s their choice to not respond, I think it’s the height of rudeness.
Enjoy your weekend!
Great job I am almost certain that 11 miles in 40 degree weather with 8 hills would have warranted way more than 4 curse words so I’m gonna say you rocked that run. 🙂
Fantastic!! I love when I can say that during a run. Good luck with Dr. Needles again. Hope he’s helping.
Yes! A few bad things out there, but it all still was awesome! Love it.
And don’t get me started on the “non-nodders/wavers.” I’m planning a post on that soon!
Love it! Runners too cool to say hi…haha I have one of those. Ever time she looks right past me. Bah humbug.
so funny maybe all runners love numbers and lists 🙂
i love a run where i just keep thinking man this is a great day
