Loving/Not Loving: Almost Spring Edition

March 18, 2016

Loving: The longer days and daylight in the evening.

deer at sunrise

Not loving: How dark it is in the morning again.

Loving: Early morning spectators.

Not Loving: Early morning spectators who eat my tulips.

RunLites 1

Loving: My RunLites.

Not loving: I have too many magazine subscriptions. I can’t possibly read them all and yet that doesn’t stop me.

Loving: Triathlete Magazine. They had a Beginner Issue recently. Hello! Pretty sure it was written just for me.

Not loving: Getting sick.

Super not loving: Getting sick the same time I need to take care of a sick kiddo

Extra super not loving: Having the caveman away on business while we are sick (not that he’d be much help, I suppose he’s missing the germs this way)

Not loving to the 10th power: Being a tired slug all week and doing basically nothing active beyond walking the dogs. I’m setting myself up for disaster at my race on 4/9. This bug is that potent.

Loving: I can’t deny the weightloss aspects of being sick, however temporary.

Loving: The Caveman will be scoring me a new Starbucks mug or three on his trip….at least he’d better….

now pomagranate tea

Loving: Sipping NOW Pomagreenate tea with some raw honey. So tasty and soothing.

Momentum wrap

Loving: This Motivate Wrap from Momentum Jewelry.

Not Loving: I don’t have enough wraps to #sharethespark with all of you.

Loving: Watching my running friends post their Boston bib numbers on Facebook. Such a special time.

Not Loving: Weird “robo-peeps” I don’t know who send friend requests on Facebook. What’s that about??

Super Not Loving: Being hit on by weird Facebook people. Just. Eeew.

coffee mak track

Loving: Thing 1 is running/jumping in a tri-state track meet in Wisconsin today. Beyond proud of her.

Not Loving: She tweaked her hamstring earlier in the week so her performance is very much up in the air.

Loving: I can count on one hand the days left until spring break!

Loving: It’s kind of time to go to run-the-food-out-of-the-house-ville.

Runfessions

Loving: One week from today it’s RUNFESSION FRIDAY! Join us for a fun linkup!

Check out the stuff I love for spring, and not so much! @nowfoodsofficial @momentumjewelry @RunLites #NowWellness

    Wow, runfessions Friday already ? Crazy !
    Sorry you have been sick, I hope you are feeling better. That’s no fun.
    We change our clocks in a week, then I will NOT be loving the darker mornings. Boo.

    I hope you feel better soon, Marcia! I got something on Sunday and while it is not as bad as it was, it keeps hanging around.

    Ugh I’m sorry you’re sick, especially when taking care of a sick kiddo 🙁 I’m so not loving the dark mornings – it is not helping my lack of mojo one bit. Hope you feel better soon!!

    I am definitely not loving the dark mornings. I hit snooze on my alarm 4 days this week!

    Sounds like the flu to me, my friend! I’ve been seeing a ton of this virulent bug lately. I prayed that I wouldn’t get it before Florida. I didn’t. Now I pray that I don’t get it at all. I’m also praying that my injuries all go away so I can run again. And I’m not a praying person!

    I’m wearing my Never Give Up wrap religiously. I sense a theme here…

    I am not loving that my foot is achy after my track workout yesterday. Wah!

    I love the wraps! I don’t want to sweat in mine lol I wear it everyday to work 🙂
    The milder temps are a nice break, but I have not been out for a morning work out in almost three months. It is time.
    Your runlites look awesome – I need!
    Hope you and your girl feel better soon!

    Ooo, being sick with sick kids, that’s one of the most challenging times as a parent! Made me really wish I had a relative who could help at times! Hope you will all be feeling better soon. Meanwhile you can read your magazines and feel useful that way? After all healing and recovering need to happen! Just tell yourself you are supporting hard-pressed journalists with all your magazine subscriptions.

    Those share the spark bracelets are so fun! I love mine 🙂
    You must be so over the moon with thing 1!! I hope she just ROCKED it. Looking forward to spring break. Hope you are too ♥

    Loving: my new Motivate Wrap “dig deep”. Not loving: my aging body that protested loudly all week.

    What I’m loving? All of my pain-free runs (knocking on wood). Not loving? Still trying to play a modified game of Catch-Up from my recent vacay. Alas, life is loving forward and all is well 🙂

    i’m with you on the dark mornings… boooooooo to them

  15. Char says

    March 19, 2016 at 5:11 pm

    It really sucks to have to look after a sick kid when you’re sick. I hope you’re feeling heaps better soon.

  16. Kayla says

    March 19, 2016 at 6:59 pm

    I am also loving the longer daylight but it makes it hard to wake up in the morning. There is a lot of crap going around right now. Super late flu season this year (at least in this area). Hope everyone is better soon!

    Being sick is awful! but hey! there might be a new mug coming to your collection!

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!
