We have quite the winter wonderland outside =)
I love the snow, just not the cold. And I really wish I could run outside.. but I would fall for sure so I've been dreadmilling it up lately.
Yesterday was spent finally cleaning and organizing my apartment. It had been wayyyy too long and I've vowed to never let my apartment get that disorganized again.
I was happily interrupted around 3 with a phone call from brother asking me to go to a late lunch. Hmm food versus cleaning.. tough choice.
I chose food =) Me, brother and sister-in-law went to a local place called Vintage Estates (I actually thought it was called Vineyard Estates and I'm pretty sure I've talked about it before.. woops). I had never gotten food there before but I have been there to build my own 6-pack.
We sat at the bar and I ordered a Blue Moon and the Mediterranean flatbread pizza. I must say, this pizza was absolutely amazing. Just look at it!
I was so excited when I got it that I just started eating it before I thought to take a picture. Brother ordered the pepperoni pizza and ours were both served with fortune cookies.. My pizza had asiago, feta and romano cheeses, black olives, artichoke hearts, onions, red pepper, spinach, onions, and garlic.. Be still my heart.
After our late lunch, I returned home and continued cleaning before I had to tutor. I had tutored this girl in math a couple years ago and her mother called mine and said that her daughter needed help in chemistry. I was kind of nervous because I wasn't sure I'd even remember enough inorganic chemistry to be helpful, but it's all starting to come back to me now =)
After tutoring I ran 2 miles on the dreadmill in 22:08. I have no idea why I'm so much slower on the treadmill, it's kind of frustrating.. Oh, well.
The Bahamian group got together again last night at the Horseshoe Bar in Warren. It's always an interesting time with us. Since I got a new phone, they attempted to help me learn how to use it when Amanda "stumbled" upon some sort of money origami..
The finished product:
Glasses made out of dollar bills.. we're quite the partiers haha
I didn't get home until 3 a.m. and I was starving, so I finished off that pizza from earlier. A few of us are getting together again tonight for sushi after my yoga class.
Is anyone else slower on the treadmill than they are outside? I also feel like it's a lot harder to run on the treadmill even though I'm going slower. Why is that??
I definitely feel like it's a lot harder to run on the treadmill. Maybe because it's so built up in our minds that it's going to suck that it's like self-fulfilling prophecy, lol. I can run 8:30 miles outside easy, but if I try it on the treadmill, I'm dying.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. I can easily run 8 minute miles outside, but when I do that pace on the treadmill. It feels like I am almost at a sprint. I always wondered why that was too.
ReplyDeleteYupp I'm slower on the treadmill but lately I've been "forcing" myself to go the same speed on the dreadmill that I do outside. I hope that makes me faster outside! Who knows!
ReplyDeleteI cannot run on the treadmill. Well, I probably could but I refuse to! I run so incredibly slow and it feels so difficult- I can't stand it!
ReplyDeleteI have fallen in love with that pizza <3 I'll take 2 please! :)
