Snow Day Randoms

January 7, 2015

Actually schools are closed here due to extreme cold. There’s something about it being a billion degrees below zero that makes it feel like a free, fun day to goof off so I’m straying from normal blog topics and just having fun today. We can talk about how to stay motivated another day, right?

Boston Purple? Did you see the 2015 Boston color is purple?? I suspect some may not care for it but you know purple is my favorite. I’m thinking I need to get something. But is it wrong to have stuff from a race you neither ran nor qualified for? I qualified for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 races but certainly not 2015….does that count?

RocknBlogger: I am still overwhelmed with my good fortune and my races of choice seem to change every day. As it stands now, I’m eyeing Nashville in April as my first RnR race. St. Louis, Vancouver, Savannah and Vegas are all very much on the radar too. Help! Where would you run?

Junk TV: Two of my favorite shows are back: Celeb Apprentice and The Bachelor. The Bachelor seemed like a total, draw-out cluster and I have to admit I didn’t pay the closest attention, except that I thought Britt was the ‘crazy one’ and he’d send her packing immediately, yet they seemed to really hit it off. What do I know? CA was sort of ho hum too. I would’t have called Bill Cosby for money if I were Keshia Knight Pulliam either.

Is it crazy cold where you are? Do you have a junk TV favorite? Did you enter my giveaway?ย

    I only saw half of the bachelor since my husband stopped DVRing it to record something else:/ Didn’t see any of the crazy stuff:(

    Do you get to run all the rock and roll races???
    We are all in today– I’m really pretty toasty thanks to this bun in my oven but it’s a PJ and play day today! Stay warm

    My youngest and I try to watch Chopped with lunch – any food show really makes me happy

    I think you can totally justify getting something from the 2015 Boston range. You’re part of a pretty exclusive club having qualified and run it so many times. So what if 2015 wasn’t one of them.

    Wildcard suggestion: come to Ireland and run the RnR Dublin half! It’s gorgeous and Ireland is just so perfect for running.

    CA is one of my favorite shows. I must have missed the first episode. What’s up with Geraldo? Hey, let me know if you do RnR Savannah. I’m a Dixie chick. I’ve run a half in N’ville – fairly hilly, if it matters.

    You know Savannah is my vote.

    Um, that purple is awesome! But I have a purple addiction, so there’s that.

    It’s cold here – -12 with wind chill. No thank you.

    We really like food shows and travel shows at our house, and ink master.

    Love those shows!! On the Bachelor I can’t believe he kept Tori (wasn’t that the one who got totally drunk?)! And, we are watching Monday’s episode of the Celebrity Apprentice right now – I want Geraldo to go home.

    I like Diners, Drive In’s and Dives. I also like muster diners.

    If you choose St. Louis, I’ll try to swing a cookout. ๐Ÿ™‚

    It’s actually pretty crazy because I just found out schools are delayed 2 hours today because of extreme cold…yet we opened on time on Tuesday when we got 3 inches of snow during rush hour! I’ll definitely be running indoors today…

    I have run RnR Raleigh, Phoenix, Philly, Va Beach, NYC and Vegas. Vegas was amazeballz!!! I really love the RnR series so in my opinion you can’t go wrong with any of them. This year I am returning to Raleigh and Philly (and probably Vegas) and Adding DC.

    Ok, I have watched every season of the Bachelor and somehow I MISSED that a new season was starting?! What?! I can’t believe it! I think you should come up to DC for one of your races! I’ll be running RNR DC! And LOVE the purple for Boston!

    St. Louis would be cool since it’s so close to me, but I’ve heard awesome things about Savannah. I’d like to visit there.

  15. Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says

    January 8, 2015 at 3:54 pm

    Savannah would be my choice! I’d love to go but I don’t know if my hubs could be convinced to let me go there and on my sister trip!

    I love the purple for Boston. I wish I was running it!

    ooh, like the purple but hope it’s bright again in 2016! ๐Ÿ™‚ i won’t let myself buy anything yet. i quit the bachelor a few seasons ago- i couldn’t take it anymore. it’s just the shows i have time for (but still trying to catch up on old bravo stuff)

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
