Snail mail


Yesterday a girl friend of mine sent me some mail :-) I love getting mail!

In the envelope was something that she wanted me to have and I couldn't be more excited!

She also included a card and basically said, keep doing what you are doing, and keep this as a reminder of what you can accomplish, she also made a point of making it pink, do my friends know me or what :-)

Here's what came in the envelope:

It's a bondi band (head band) an it's perfect!! Will totally compliment my outfit for the half, and I'm searching for a skirt, I'm going to be the cutest runner out there ;-)

As for P90X last night we took a break, we were both really tierd and drained and figured we needed a day off, so instead of my normal Sunday break, I had it yesterday. Day 1 of Week 8 begins tonight.

Oh and need I get into my grumpiness over the snow that feel last night..I'll save that for another day :-)

Snail mail, when it includes little unexpected goodies, is the best! Sure fire way to brighten a day! I'm glad you got such a sweet surprise!

Cute! Can't wait to see a pic of you in your running gear! No doubt you will be the cutest!

I'm loving the Bondi Band! I just ordered some and I'm so excited for them! Think they'll make me run faster? Oh, and I just read your post from yesterday, I'm sorry that it happened to you! Just goes to show how vulnerable we can be, makes me feel the need to be more careful. Thanks for sharing your story, Syl.

Teddy-n-Mai's mom said...

Syl,
Quick question...I'm assuming that you are a stay at home mom. Can I ask why you wait to work out till the end of the day and not in the mornings? How do you get motivated to work out after a full day? The reason I ask is b/c I have to be at work at 6 am and I do walk 30 min at work and then come home and walk my dog for another 30-45 min. However, I was running when I used to come home, but now I'm just so tired at the end of the day. How do you manage that?

Teddys n mai's
I tried to click on your profile and answer your question but see you don't have a blog so I will answer it here.

Working out in the evenings works best for me. I am a stay at home mom and my days are very busy and active and I just use the day to be with my kids. I have one in school that I need to drop off and pick up and the rest of the day is spend doing what moms do best.

I have always like the evening workouts because it gives me something to look forward at the end of the day that is just about ME. Usually my workout of choice is running (except for the last 2 months when I've been doing P90X) and when I hit the streets running I leave all the stresses of the day behind. It's like a nice release a the end of the day and like I said, it's me time.

Early mornings dont work for me because I have a son that is an early riser, I would be up at an ungodly hour :-)

In the summer I sometimes take my son running with me and there are times when I do home workouts with him but I prefer to workout on my own.

Hope this long winded response answers your question :-)

How nice! Gotta love presents in the mail.

I went and looked up bondi bands to see what other ones are out there and they have some super cutes one! If I ever run again, (insert big sigh here) I may need one of those.

Heidi said...

What a great gift and indeed: so you!

When I woke up yesterday morning it was snowing here too. I have to admit I cursed! I'm tired of it. But luckily the sun started shining soon and by noon it was all gone. Hopefully this was the last of it.
WE NEED SPRING!
