Wednesday randomness

I was ultra-productive yesterday and hung the lights on our balcony, decorated the tree, and even wrapped the presents I have purchased so far. I took a picture of my beautiful work on the tree for all of you to enjoy :)

While at Target yesterday I picked up the January Runners World. No, I don't have a subscription yet. Hopefully soon though as it's on my Christmas list ;) Then what do you know in the mail today?!? 3 guesses the first 2 don't count...The January RW. Anyone need a copy I'll send it to you tomorrow when I go to the post office for work. And it won't cost a thing - I'll add it to tab I'm going to expense :) Anyways, it seems that since I partook in the 2007 Chicago LaSalle Bank Marathon I get 3 free months of the magazine. Who knew I would get a gift for a DNF?!? And why couldn't this have kicked in 2 months ago so I could have saved myself the money on the last 2?!? Maybe they finally felt bad about not providing enough water, Gatorade, and cooling stations so they used the money they saved on these items for magazine subscriptions for 45,000 runners as a please accept our apology on such poor planning in October 2007 :)

On to today's run. I had a choice to make about my running. The schedule called for a 6 mile tempo run but a big storm moved through the city yesterday and today. I could take my chances and run outside in the fresh snow (and ice). But that would most likely mean me breaking my ass before Sunday as I am the worlds clumsiest person OR I could go to the gym and hit the treadmill again. But going to the gym was no easy feat either as my poor Libby (yes I named my car Libby the Liberty) was under a good 6-12 inches of snow. I opted for the workout before the run and dug out both my car and Jacob's car (I'm such a nice girlfriend).

I hear you... In Michigan right now I have 2 options:

Run in the ice and snow outside where it was 17 degress this morning.

Get on the treadmill at Lifetime and plug away.

You got a real tree?!? Oooohhhh how I want a real tree (we're fakers :P) I can't wait til the kids get a bit older and then we'll get a real one.

I just ordered some Yak Trax. Hopefully it will work well, I'm not loving the treadmill at all (big waste o money :-X shhhhh don't tell anyone LOL )

And, the snow is HERE today. My God, it's a blizzard. I'd love to go out in it, but I think it's gonna be the treadmill.

I have RW but thanks!!

Jamie, your tree looks really nice.
I like.

As for me, no treadmill...so I find myself out in the rain, the wind, the snow, whatever.

I'm such a freak.
