My new running friend who conquered the ice! |
I would like to thank the icy conditions for slowing down my pace. I don’t know if you noticed this or not but I can be pretty clumsy. So, I wanted to make sure I didn’t hit any black ice along the way.
I accidentally put my entire ipod on shuffle during this run. The danger with that is coming across songs that you don’t want to listen to. But the fun in it is that you have NO idea what is coming next. I went with it but I’m not gonna lie- I pressed “next” quite a few times. I think my favourite song that came up was Nelly’s “Hot in Herre.” I mean- I’m surrounded by ice and snow and this man is singing to me about getting so hot that I want to take my clothes off. Hilarious and fun.
Post run I made myself a PB Smoothie. SO DELICIOUS! I got my yummy protein from the PB, my selenium from my soy milk, and potassium from my banana. How perfect?! I wanted to show you a picture of my smoothie but I really wanted it as soon as it was made and forgot to take a picture. So, here’s my empty glass:
You’re just going to have to believe that it looked as good as it tasted!

Stats of the Run

Remembering when you were “Hot in Herre” during your favourite vaca is equivalent to remembering to vote for me! OK, maybe not. But I think you should vote for me at BEST HEALTH MAGAZINE’S BLOG AWARDS HERE!
OK it doesn't get cold here, so I know nothing about 'mattresses' of ice, how are they formed, where do they come from? (other than from the cold).
4:36/km and you were running slowly, it's a good thing I here in cape Town, because you would kick my butt… my 10km yesterday took 48:28
YOU RAN IN THAT….YOU ARE MY HERO!!! I love putting my ipod on shuffle but you are right…it is always a gamble:) Hope you are having an amazing day gorgeous girl!
