Thursday THINGS + Your Gas Pedal.

Wow you listen to a LOT of podcasts! I have trouble keeping track of them all so I only listen to a couple at a time. Right now I’m all about Casefile – so creepy!
We use our space heater to heat up the bathroom in the morning while we shower. I keep the thermostat at 65 in the winter and my husband struggles so much! ;)
Last thing I ate out of a bowl was squash soup from panera last week…I need more soup right now!

I just squealed a little because we now have matching shoes (the Ghost 10s — I love them!).

Legit: I ate oatmeal with crunchy pb (a happy accident) and a ‘nanner out of a bowl while reading this post.:D

So good with Christmas! I have not even started :/

I would much rather have cold hands…mine always seem to get hot when I run…>BUT I have Raynaud’s syndrome and my feet/toes are always a problem. Anything below about 45 and I end up with swollen purple toes for days. Such a pain in the bootay! When I ride in the winter, I wear specific winter riding boots, the thickest Smartwool socks they make and toe warmers and I still have problems!

To be honest, I would rather cold nothing. Is that an option? If I think I’ll be cold, I typically stay inside. Though last winter I bought a pair of Montana Mits..who knew mittens could cost that much…UGH. Anyway, they were the best investment I’ve ever made for winter.

Thanks for some great podcast recommendations! I am currently loving Jen Hatmaker’s “For the Love.” You should check it out! Super Soul Conversations is for sure my favorite though….

What are your current goto podcasts?!

What was the last thing that you ate out of a bowl? I made Fartlek Chili last night from the Run Fast Eat Slow cookbook! It was delicious and I am sure it was very healthy for me (since it included carrots… veggies am I right?!?!) Eating out of bowls is the bomb because they are so much easier to wash. :)

I dislike having a cold nose while running… I have this neck warmer that is awesome because I can cover my nose… but sometimes I think we need a nose warmer (so my breath doesn’t make ice on my neck when it is really cold). But probably cold hands is better than cold feet since cold feet is just not fun.

Please share one of your Thursday things with me! I have been working on a t-shirt quilt for a co-worker. It is Harley Davidson themed and it has turned out really cool! I am going to finish it up tonight!!! :) Hooray!

I hope you like The Nightingale! I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I might be seeing Wonder before I get to read it–my 9.y.o. son really wants to go to that movie this weekend–even though I prefer reading before watching.

I’m the oddball who can’t get into podcasts! I’m much better taking in written words than listening…plus, as soon as I try to listen to *anything* in my life, I get interrupted (kids, pets, phone calls, whatever).

I had Chocolate/Peanut Butter Cheerios for 2nd dinner last night. I didn’t think I’d like the flavor, but sometimes it really hits the spot. I also like that it’s a bit less sugary than many cereals.

I’d rather never run when it’s cold! But since that’s unrealistic, I’d rather have cold hands since I can tuck into my sleeves to warm them up. I feel like if my feet are ever cold, I can’t really fix that easily.

Thursday thing: 2 weeks until I leave for my girls’ running trip at the beach!! It will still be cold, but it will be at the BEACH with my GIRLS!

Fresh berries NEVER last in my house! Especially blackberries, I just find them so easy to snack on!

Thanks for you list Janae! Going to start digging into them. And congratulations on your baby girl!

I love listening to How I Built This! I’m a huge fan of podcasts because I can listen to them while I’m at work. I also really like Tanis/The Black Tapes/Rabbits, but they’re more on the paranormal/mystery side – kind of like The X Files.

I would rather have cold hands all day every day. Maybe I am used to cold hands so they don’t bother me anymore. But if my toes get cold, they ache all day. Right now my toes really hurt because of a combination of cold running (it was 19 degrees this morning) and many many burpees and pushups at the gym, which put pressure on my toes.

Our fruit packs from Costco never last. I guess eating $6 worth of fruit is lightyears better than eating $6 of junk.

Podcasts: TedX (ugh, amazing), people share their stories anonymously and they are so powerful!

I had oatmeal out of a bowl this morning! I am an oatmeal fan like Brookie.

So, I’d rather not have cold hands or feet, tbh. However, I’m pretty lucky living in Florida that they’re only unbearably cold outside maybe 2 days a year (literally).

Thursday thing-> so Thursdays are one of my favorite days, because generally I work 8-5, run, and then have another obligation, and Thursdays I don’t really have anything. This week I actually decided to make tonight my rest day, too! So I’m going to go to this lovely restaurant that plays movies outside on a projector on Thursday nights in their cute little lit backyard with picnic tables! So I’m going to go to that with a friend. Anyways, thats my Thursday…hope yours was awesome!

I love, love, love my Ghost 10s! In fact, I have numerous pairs bought ahead in case they stop making them haha

And unpopular opinion, but my oatmeal has to be dry like the Sahara! I don’t know how you ate that bowl of oatmeal with so much liquid! It grosses me out.

Dads are awesome as mine usually has Reese’s peanut butter cups for me ?

Wow, I would never imagining doing what your dad did (unwrap then re-wrap presents)! I love eating out of bowls and mugs, I’m not sure why. I don’t really care for plates!

I had 2 winter babies (Dec 18 & Jan 2) and I couldn’t stay home with them very long. When we went out I ALWAYS kept the carseat cover on them and didn’t really let people open the cover or touch them. People get it with a new baby. Also, keep hand sanitizer with you when you’re out. I had those tiny ones that hook on a key chain so you have if with you at all times. Their siblings had to go straight to the sink to wash hands everytime they came in from anywhere. Neither baby got sick as newborns by just washing and sanitizing all the time.

SkipBo is so much fun! It’s one of my two favorite card games. Dutch Blitz is my other favorite – you need to try it if you haven’t.

I started using a spreadsheet in July to track my workouts, but I haven’t updated it in a few months. I’m pretty sure I could add in all the miles I’ve done on the elliptical thanks to my Fitbit – it tracks all the details. It would be interesting to see how far I’ve gone!
