Snowed In

I've been avoiding my blog like the plague this week. I think the lack of sunshine and coldness was getting to me.

Either way it doesn't help we were dumped on today.... 20 something inches! ALL I was looking forward to this weekend was doing my 3 hr trainer ride/brick with Kim, Chad, Jen, Jocelyn, and some other friends. I knew when I walked out to my car at 6 am this morning and saw this...... I would NOT be going anywhere anytime soon :(

Fifth Avenue (one of the main roads in the city of Pittsburgh)

Luckily, I sucked it up and got my workout done. I'm not going to lie and say it was fun or easy. I wanted to claw my eyes out after the first hour. I watched, "New in Town" with Renee Zellweger. HORRIBLE movie....... especially on the trainer :(

To make for a good ending, a local news crew stopped me while I was finishing up my brick. They pretty much were making fun of me for being out there running. I made sure I said something extremely dumb about how running was more fun that studying. Hopefully none of my professors caught a glimpse.

To reward myself for finishing my workout and to motivate myself to study, I escaped from my cave and fetched a delicious Carmel Machiatto. Sometimes it's nice living in the city :) The sun even came out for awhile! And-yes- the cold, white nastiness was actually kind of pretty.


As for my 90 min run tomorrow... I guess I'll worry about that in the morning.
