Snow Days and Brick

I'm a runner!
A conversation between a runner and non-runner.

It was Snow Day for me on Monday and Tuesday!
We had a good 3 to 4 inches of snow. Laugh if you want. Southeastern Arkansas doesn't get snow like this. We usually have sleet, ice and fallen trees and have no electricity. So, this right here is a rare sight.


There's something about snow that send us in a tizzy (is that a word?)
Grocery stores were packed with people stocking up staples in anticipation for the snow. They bought milk, bread and eggs and generators. I took my chances.  I do have about 2 dozen eggs and lots of bread at the house. Lots of Gu too!

What did I do during my Snow Days?
I came up with a Snow Day To-Do List and steadily checked the items off the list.
I still have unchecked items. But I did check a lot of items off too.
And I ran lots of errands around town today too!
I could be laying in bed with a tub of ice cream.

Tuesday morning run was canceled. Ms. M was worried about ice, and would rather not chance falling and hurting her recently-fixed rotator cuff. She headed to the Y in the morning. I should have went this morning. But I slept in, felt no remorse, ate cinnamon raisin toast, ate KFC (just 2 wings for dinner)
and guilt took a big gulp out of my bottom!
I headed to the Y and ran.
KFC two hours before your run = not a good idea!
So I did a R-B-R workout (run-bike-run workout or Brick workout).
I felt super speedy on the treadmill after I had been on the bike.
It was awesome!
Will do my planned 4ish miles tomorrow morning instead.
