1. I lost my dog on my run today. One minute he was there running with me and then he was chasing deer and then he was GONE. I wasn't too worried at first as he chases deer a lot, but he always comes back. I looked for him for awhile, but figured he would either head home or head to my sis in laws where my kids and car were.
Come home little Cola dog! |
I got back and no dog, so the kids and I drove the run route, no dog. I went home thinking maybe he went home. Nope. My sis in law texted to say he was there and she would bring him over when she came over to pick up her kid. Great.
Later she texted back to say he was gone. i am hoping he shows back up here soon. We only live about 3 miles apart as the crow flies or 5 miles by road. So if he isn't home soon I will go drive around and yell for him.
2. You may remember a month or so ago seeing the GU Challenge on Strava to run 100 or more miles between March 9 to April 9. I remembered today I was doing that so I downloaded all my workouts and am sitting at 118 miles. They only take miles from GPS units not manually loaded mileage, so the ten or so miles I ran without my Garmin last weekend doesn't count.
I kind of want to keep it under 150 miles because I LOVE PB GU and while I love roctane too, it does not compare to peanut butter GU! I free 8 pack of it..YAY! I know I won't hit 200 miles but that is a pretty cool prize too.
The fun part is I am sitting pretty good, 241 out of 3859 people that entered, of course maybe there are a lot of other people out there who are like me and just waiting to download all their workout.
I like Strava, but I doubt I will use it much after this challenge. I am comfortable on DailyMile and all my buddies are already there, I can't seem to find anyone I know on Strava.
3. I was reminded today how much better Lulu skirts are than the other ones I have with shorties underneath. I wore a really cute Nike skirt but the little shorts kept riding up and it was really really irritating. I have 4 lulu skirts and am now POSITIVE I need MORE! I am also loving Bibbity skirts, but they aren't as fun as the lulu ones and I think I prefer shorts underneath to undies.
Saving up for one of these. I love the one on the right, it is fun and girly and the one on the left is more sleek and I think it would be great for marathoning.
I hope Cola comes home soon:) Awesome job on your mileage and I love the skirts!
ReplyDeleteI have some PB gu but it just isn't right for my stomach. Love the flavor though!
ReplyDeleteOh no, hope little Cola makes his way home soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Missing Cola!!!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. We once lost Bungee on some trails and I was inconsolable.
ReplyDeletepoor cola!
ReplyDeleteHopefully he's back now!
Hope Cola comes home soon! I have not tried either of those Gu's I actually have only tired Latte flavored and after working through a box in my last half training I found one the other day and tried it and I almost vomited it back up. Clearly I need to try different flavor gu's.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Maybe Cola is just taking some "me" time....we all need it. I would def go with peanut butter anything, especially GU.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew about that Strata challenge. I don't know if I have 100 miles this month, but it sounded like a fun, worthwhile, challenge about taking part in.
ReplyDeleteI hope your pup makes his way home safely. I just tried PB gu last weekend, and I agree with you - it's great!
ReplyDeleteI think PB GU tastes just like honey PB. I don't know which I'd like better, though. I hope your dog comes home soon!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to do the strava challenge, however, March has been a month of sickness and there is no way I am getting 100 miles in. Besides that, I have no idea how to load the info from my Garmin into my computer. I think I am missing that ANT thing....
ReplyDeleteI hope your dog gets home soon!
I cannot eat GU
ReplyDeleteI hope you will find your dog...I would be worried...hopefully he is just playing with the cows!
those skirts look so short to me..they do look nice though
I'd rather have roctane. I don't like the consistancy of the PB gu. I know a lot of people like it because it's runnier, but that's exactly whey I dont like it! Looks like a fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteHope you find your dog!!
Love the LuLuLemon ruffle bum you posted. Going to surf their site for it next! I hope your poochie comes home soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope Cola comes home! I am with you for the lulu skirts - freakin' adorable!!! And most definitely PB gu!!! Keep it under 150....149 will be fine. :) Now I need to get with the program and upload my Stava mileage!
ReplyDeleteI hope Cola comes home to you soon! I would definitely pick PB Gu over Roctane too, ha!
ReplyDelete:)
Let us know when Cola comes home!!!!! Good luck keeping it under 150- just run without your Garmin more!!
ReplyDeleteSilly Cola and deer chasing! I would be so worried about Peanut, but she's not as smart or "street savvy" as Cola. I bet he'll be back soon!
ReplyDeleteI am doing the challenge but I don't think I am going to make it! I was counting on having the miles from my half last weekend when I forgot my watch! Oh well. I would definitely go for the PB Gu...you could just not upload those workouts....
ReplyDeleteI hope your pup comes home soon!
poor Cola :(
ReplyDeletesomeday I'll save up enough money to get me a lululemon skirt.... someday!

ReplyDeleteThat is very sad! I hope you find Cola really soon!! I have had my eye on both of those lulu skirts too! They are super cute!!
ReplyDeleteI saw on Twitter that you found him. Thank goodness. I like the skirt on the left best! And I guess PB Gu. I don't really like the gels as much.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know they made PB Gu. I might have to look for that....when I'm back to running enough to merit Gu. :) I hope your dog comes home!
ReplyDeleteoh no, i hope cola comes home soon!! let us know!
ReplyDeleteHope you find Cola soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope your dog makes it home soon!
ReplyDeleteGlad Mr. Cola is back. Evers was worried about him!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Cola. Sounds like he made it back okay. :)
