Finale and a quick run in the rain.

These two were just so cute and sweet together.  Poor Ben, but I didn't see how she would not pick JP it has been obvious for quite awhile now.  Although if they kissed anymore on the tell all show afterwards I was going to get a little sick.  I love how happy and glowing they both were though so freaking CUTE!

I did feel bad for Ben though he was so shocked and hurt.  I wished Ashley would have stopped him before he proposed.  What did you guys think?

I got off work a little early yesterday and was able to go for a run in the rain.  It felt so good!  It was only 66 degrees out.  I did a little hill workout by warming up then sprinting down the hill for half a mile and doing telephone pole intervals back up.  I just wish I would have had more time before I had to go get the kids.  But hey at least I got a short one in for a total of 3 miles.

Tell me your thoughts on the finale  and what is your favorite quick workout run.

    I was totally riveted and scared she wouldn't pick JP. They are ADORABLE. But I do feel bad for Ben. I'm sure plenty of ladies will be calling him now though after the show. Siiigghhh I hope Ash and JP make it!

    Just couldn't get into this one! I love running just after a rain in the summer when it's nice and cool!

    I don't watch the show, but I feel like I do from all the talk on twitter about it. :)

    I didn't actually WATCH it, but I could hear my mother's running commentary on it from down the hall, so I'm pretty well caught-up. lol. This whole season has been ridiculous. I'm still not convinced that Ashley knew what she wanted/ wants. It'll be interesting to see if/how long this will last. I always HOPE these couples are the next Trista/Ryan, but the set-up almost sets these couples up for failure in the real world after the show is done.

    Oh, and if I only have a short period of time to work out, I head for my erg (rowing machine). It's a full-body workout with every stroke and I have to keep myself from reminiscing back to high school when I was on the rowing team. lol

    TOTALLY agree with everything you said about the finale...they really were kissing like every single moment of the After the Rose show. haha. But I guess it must be nice to finally be "public"...and even though I knew she would likely pick JP...Ben was seriously too sweet and it was tough to watch him so upset. and not really sure why she would let him get as far as she did...knowing she would say no??? She kinda just stood there...totally awkward.

    Me I would have picked Ben. I liked him. I think she should have never let him get down on his knee, that was a bit mean on her part, she could have saved him some humiliation at least.
    Right when he said "you have no ring on your finger" she should have said something.

    I am glad that he was angry and that he told her to stop with the "you're so great" BS!

    I do think she and JP will make it. I hope they do and that Ben is the next Bach. I think it will be him or Ames.

    I am ready for Bach Pad. This will be good.!!!

    66 degrees, sweet I'd take that!

    When I'm pressed for time, i also like doing a few short, fast miles. Like three close to a low 7 minute pace, then I feel like I worked reallly hard.

    LOVED THIS SEASON!!!!!!!! I'm SO glad to see Ashley happy! They were adorable on the After the Final Rose but I do agree with you...they were almost making out on set! LOL

    66?!?!! Please send that refreshing cold fresh air to
    Chicagoland for next weekend so I can kill my next half marathon with a huge PR!

    Yeah, just finished watching the bachelorette And felt bad for Ben. He seemed like such a great guy and ended up heartbroken - but that's the game I guess. She did kind of try to stop him, but let him continue. Sad.

    I felt horrible for Ben. I think the producers made her stop and let him propose. I think she would have stopped him if she could.

    I did enjoy watching JP propose to Ashley, however. It was so sweet. Where I didn't like the Brad/Emily finale (I never did like Brad), I liked this one a lot more.

    I completely missed this whole season. Not quite sure how that happened!! I have a great challenging hill right by my house. I love to run it up and down. It helps with my speed work and hill climbing. Not sure if it is quick since I am gasping for air at the top and taking a few breaks...HAHA!

    I felt so bad for Ben... she definitely led him on. He didn't see that coming at all which makes me sad.

    But JP is a hottie! :)
