Victorious
25 Mar
Something happened after work today that almost never happens.
BILL WENT RUNNING WITH ME!
That’s right – Bill is still trying to train for the 5K we’re running on Saturday, and he decided to wait for me so we could run together. We decided to go to Rock Creek Park. He wanted to put in 3 miles, and I needed to put in 5. We ran together for about 1.5 miles in complete silence. He said he wasn’t at the stage of talking yet and quite frankly – I’m not really either. I finished up my run in just over 52 minutes and felt the fastest I’ve felt in a while. Probably because I skipped running all together this weekend (and I’m still feeling guilty). I burned a little over 500 calories.
We were both super hungry when we got home and were crawling over each other in the kitchen trying to get something to eat. I stopped Bill in the midst of his fridge search and said, “Show me how you feel after running today!”
This is the result:
And then I showed him how I felt after my run:
That’s right. Victorious!
Honestly, it was a really good run. I haven’t that fast in a long time, and it makes me feel like achieving this goal is quite possible.
We decided to stick with easy tonight. Bill had to tutor around 8 p.m., and we only really had about 20 minutes to each. So sandwiches and veggies it was.
I had some peas and mushrooms with a little bit of salt.
And a Chik Patty sando. Delicious. Yum. Magnificient!
Now onto coffee…
Something ridiculous happened last week that I failed to mention on the blog. I know my girl Mara will totally get a kick out of this (and maybe even be a bit jealous!), but do you remember near Bill’s birthday when his parents bought us a ton of coffee? Well, it turns out they were placing an order last week – and guess who’s name was still left on the shipping address?
Wooooo!
And that’s not even everything. Check out our ridiculous setup.
And now the whole thing:
Super Big Thanks
- To everyone who gave me some advice this morning on computers. We have a lot of Mac lovers out there!

YAY for strong runs! I had a good run today too. Also, nice AU sweatshirt! Geez sometimes it looks like we’re leading parallel lives here…
Oh wow, I would LOVE some of that coffee!!

I feel victorious when something does NOT go as planned, but I make it through with flying colors anyways!
Great run Rose (and Bill)
I know you will reach your goal!!

Looks like you and Bill have hit the k-cup jackpot!

I love that feeling.
Getting back an exam or a paper I worked really hard on also makes me feel awesome!

I feel that way after a run too. Man it has been a while!
Thanks for your comment…your point is so true that everyone gets something different out of it. You rock!
Loooove the body language!
I feel victorious after good workouts too. And a productive day at work. And after cleaning my entire apartment. (I wish I didn’t always let it go so long I have to clean the *entire* thing at once, but you know how it goes!)
That’s a whole lotta coffee! Talk about caffiene overload.
You are so cute! I love the post run victory pics! Way to go on the run, that is so awesome! My favorite part of running is how good I feel after I am done!
I love your bowl! Your oats always are so beautiful. Must be hard to dig in. Thanks for swinging by my blog!
I’m going to add your site to my Blog Roll cuz it’s one of my absolute favs.
I would die without my keurig, is there any chance bill’s parents can accidentally put my address in next time?
haha, you guys are awesome! great run!!
So fun! Sigh. I used to ask mark to run w/ me. He’s made it pretty clear that is never going to happen though.
