Burrrr It's Cold Out Here!

Ran Outside: 4 Miles at Kiest Park with Jarrah and Stephanie

Walked Dogs: 2 Miles around my neighborhood

Thumbs up! 

Morning Recap: Woke up to 40 degree weather! Met up with the girls at the park at 6:15 AM. Jarrah and I didn't want to get out the car, it was FREEZING! At one point I was like, "Who does this on a Saturday?" LOL We ran at an easy pace to make sure we all stayed together because it was still dark outside. Going through the woods was super creepy! It reminded me of that typical girl-walking-through-the-woods-alone-then-gets-killed scene. No bueno. 

Me pretending to run =) 

We made it out alive, and after our run I came home to walk Kimbo and Max. I can't believe how many loose dogs there are in my neighborhood  NOT COOL! Thankfully, we didn't get attacked... today. I then went to McDonalds, but to my defense I haven't been there in ages and I was craving a McMuffin. I know it wasn't the healthiest breakfast choice but ehhh YOLO, ha ha!

It feels really good to get all this done before 9 AM and on a Saturday with 50 degree weather. I'm gonna kick it under my covers for the next 2 hours, finish up Gossip Girl on Netflix, which btw is so intense right now. Thanks for reading!

How did you start your weekend? Are you liking this weather?

While The City Still Sleeps

Today, I woke up at 5AM and couldn't go back to sleep. I laid in bed for about an hour before I headed out for a run. I've noticed that I perform better before the sun's out. There's something about running while the city still sleeps that allows me to feel more relaxed and run for longer periods of time. Once the sun is out and traffic begins to build up, I feel so exposed. All I wanna do is walk home and not be seen. I don't know if that makes sense? LOL

Today there was no sun. Yey for cloudy days.

Half way done. Nice little park by my house.

 I like that around 6AM other people are also at the park! I saw a couple of people walking their dogs, and others jogging by themselves. It make me feel at ease because I live in the hood and it's not a good idea to be out alone, especially at night (or in my case before sunrise.) I still remain alert at all times.

I wear bright colors so I'm visible to cars LOL I hope it helps.

After my run, I took Kimbo and Max out for a walk. I walk them separately and take about 25 minutes with each. As you can see from the picture above, Kimbo was not too happy about our walk being over. He layed there for about 5 minutes before giving up.

Sitting on the porch. He finally gave up after he started to get sleepy. Here he's yawning.

Max's turn! He was a good boy today.

Max chillaxing after our walk.

GMD: Gym, Max and the DNC

Finally I had a day off on Tuesday and what better way to get the day started by sleeping in! But as usual, my mother had other plans -_- "Get up!" "Did you take care of your inspection sticker?" "Get up!" "Blah.. blah... blah..." So I got up and had no choice but to act like an grown up. I got my inspection sticker, paid my car insurance and went to the gym. I know, crazy? I ran on the treadmill and inclined the heck out of that thing. It felt good to challenge myself and pretend I was running up a hill. I also did cycling for 30 minutes. 

After a cold shower, Max and I spend most of Tuesday night watching the Democratic National Convention. 

He loved Michelle Obama's speech. 

But last night during President Bill Clinton's speech, he was a little cold.

Regardless of your political party affiliation, get out and vote! The beauty about voting is that no matter your income, education level or career path, we all get one vote. Get out and vote!
