Three Things Thursday

 1. My little sister and I are working on some St Patrick's Day costumes for the Run to the Pub half marathon next month. My little sister was crafty and made us a green sparkly skirt.  We have some other stuff but this is as much of a sneak peek as I am giving up right now.  For the life of me this picture would not upload rotated the way I wanted it.  Upload picture fail in a major way. Very annoying, but you still get the idea.

She did warn me I still need to trim off the extra threads.
2. Another fail I had was trying to take a picture with my Cola dog on my run this morning.  At least I am in it.

 He did have the nerve to look apologetic about it in this picture.

3. I did have a pretty good run today..finally after Monday's failed attempt at 1200 intervals.  So I did 4 one mile intervals today that with hills and wind still averaged 7:40ish.  I was happy with that and felt good doing it...except for the emergency bathroom break due to bad guts. (sorry TMI, but it is a runner problem and this is a runner blog!) At least I carry some emergency TP in my pocket.

also did you enter my StrideBox giveaway?  I will be picking a winner tomorrow!

  2. I am still so jealous that you can go for runs like that with Cola off leash! Bungee would be in heaven. I guess I should be happy that we at least got to run outside today!

  3. I'm glad to hear you had a redeeming run! Those always feel great. Your St. Patty's Day outfit looks like it's coming along nicely. GI problems during runs are the worst. I hope your stomach feels better soon.

  10. I'm getting my Run the Pub green outfit figured out too. I bought some striped socks, like the one's in your picture, that I'm goin to turn into arm warmers and I got the new NEON green Pro Compression socks. Gotta figure out the shorts and shirt now. Your skirt looks pretty stinkin' cute! Awesome that it's homemade!
