Today, I'm off of work for Martin Luther King Day! How about you? Who else has today off? Now you would think with a day off I could get in some good exercise.
I did 10 miles on the exercise bike today in 32:40 but I did not do my weights workout. Why you ask? Because our furnace went out last night so I had to buy a new furnace today. The furnace guy got our existing furnace working but they are going to replace it on Wednesday. Not exactly what I wanted to spend my hard earned money on right now. Also loved spending my day talking about furnaces. Oh well, what can you do? It's kind of important to have heat in Michigan for the winter. Perhaps I'll come vacation near Chris K's place for the week since I'm sure it's 80 and sunny there.
Looking forward to getting outside to run tomorrow. Unfortunately we're looking at rain, freezing rain and 35 degrees so it's looking like a possible treadmill run again. Great.
So I'm thinking of putting on a virtual 5k race sometime in February/March and I'm looking for ideas. It seems like Adam's over at I am Boring did a great job on his. I'm thinking of having a few small prizes as well to go along with it. Give me your thoughts on what you would like to see in a virtual race. Nothing too crazy but I need to put some ground rules together. I'd like to hear all your ideas so have fun with it!
Have a great day and......Keep Running.
Oh that sucks, Jeff!! Home repairs :( We are getting that same kind of weather so it's not going to be pretty the next few days. It's beautiful here today, albiet cold, and I am enjoying my day off! Making a pot roast and baking muffins!
ReplyDeleteI'm off today too. We ran a quick 5K late this morning.
ReplyDeletePlease keep me posted if you do a virtual 5K in February. We haven't figured out a February race and yours might be the ticket :-)
I'm off in spirit....but physically at work. :-)
ReplyDeleteBummer about the furnace. Very important indeed!
I do not have work off :( We are supposed to get freezing rain here tomorrow too which stinks! The weather is really getting in the way of running!
ReplyDeleteYou should be making a pot of chili or something.
ReplyDeleteno off from work. my daughter has no school though so she's in charge of dinner and housework today hehe!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any ideas for a virtual race, but I think it would be awesome if you did. There is a severe lack of races where I live...keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteVirtual race - I'm in if you have a snail classification. I need to ease the pain of my DNF in Adam's Race. Beer works too.
ReplyDeleteBummer about the furnace. Money well spent. If you are frozen you cant run.
School is in session here. Im off in spirit as well.
Hey, I'm a furnace guy! Just kidding, been there done that. Yeah the weather is going to get interesting tomorrow......
ReplyDeletegrrrrrrrrrrrrr to you getting today off. i most certainly did not. annoying about the furnace. that sucks a lot. i know what you mean about not wanting to spend money on that stuff right now. bummer that it's so cold out and we have to!
ReplyDeleteCount me in on the 5K - I missed Adam's, but it sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah we're getting some crazy weather here tomorrow too so I'll be 'mill bound :( Stinks about the furnace but oh so important!
ReplyDeleteI'd take freezing rain over 4 inches of snow, wind, and below zero wind chills any day!
ReplyDeletePresidents day is in February. A race rule could be that part of the course be on a street named after a president or goes past a location name after a president? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteLet me just say, I wish I had today off. It was a rough one.
