The weekend started out great – temps took a sudden upswing to the 70’s/80’s on Friday and Saturday. We took full advantage.
I got up and ran 10K to start the Saturday. The miles will go toward these two challenges that I’m taking part in: Around the World Running Blog Relay and 100 Miles in March by Fitfluential.
I was going to run anyways, might as well join the challenge!
Afterwards, the 5 year old begged me to take him to play putt-putt.
We’re quite a pair – like bread and putter.
He’d never played before in his life, and I’m not sure how it got into his head, but it sounded like a fun idea to me.
Good thing they had more than one green, because he got a hole in one.
Afterwards, he begged me for a hot dog. He typically doesn’t like to eat any kind of animal protein, so this was a new one too. Maybe it was the nice weather and the smell of people BBQing in the air? I’m not a huge fan of him eating them, but figured it was a special day. We went to a really cool patio bar that’s friendly to pets and runners alike. It was packed. He got his dawg and I got a brewski. Here’s a 6 sec video I took of the scene:
The next morning, the wheels fell off. The temps dropped to the low 20’s and we got freezing rain. Oh, and something called “Thundersleet”. It’s apparently that thing when it’s sleeting and thundering at the same time. It’s weird. I wasn’t about to run in that noise, so it was off to yoga at Lululemon.

For some reason, the boy begged me to let him tag along. He really wanted to go. I was excited to bring him, but looking back I’m not sure why he wanted to come. He spent the entire class playing games on my phone. Oh well, eventually I’ll get him to participate. Baby steps on the way to child’s pose, I suppose.
As the day went on daying, the weather continued to worsen and colden. Wind chill was around 0 degrees and the roads got all iced over. It was a real bummer of a way to end the weekend. But I did get to weather it in a cool way. I moved from the ice outside to the ice inside where the Dallas Stars NHL pro hockey team plays. When I’m not running, I’m a video producer and so I that’s what I was there doing.

So there is the weekend that was.
How was your weekend? Last time you putt putted? Last time you yogad? Last time you patio barred? Doing any March challenges? Ever been caught in thundersleet?
