Hello my wonderful friends! We survived Monday *Insert Elle Woods’ “We did it!” voice*! I don’t mind going to school on Mondays (say what?!) but I do mind going to crew! As you all probably know, every Monday my team has a 6k test. Recently, I have been doing pretty well… ok I have been doing really well *blushes*. With my consistently improving scores, I was expecting to beat last weeks PR. Did I do it? Drum roll please. No. Awkward. I missed my PR by .1. Was I frustrated? YES. I went a little too hard for the first 3000 meters of my test… whoops. I was disappointed with myself at first, but then I realized something. Missing your PR by .1 is not very much pluuus I have been setting new PRs for the last 4 6ks we have been doing. I am going to admit, I am alittle bit of an overachiever.
When I arrived back at home, I knew I needed something sweet. I settled on making another thin mint protein smoothie
This time I used chocolate soymilk and added a few spoons of fat-free vanilla froyo
It was soooo good!
While sipping my smoothie, I caught up on reading your comments. You guys make my day! I love reading all of your kind comments!
I also had this little bugger to make me smile
I also got my latest PBteen in the mail… I was pretty excited! All of the summer pictures made me want summer to come quicker… but that won’t be happening anytime soon! I might be having a snow day tomorrow! I am excited for the possible day off, but I am tired of all of this snow! Thank goodness I will be attending college in Cali next year
How was your Monday?
Will there be a snow storm near you?


that is so cool that you are leading the way for your team!! Keep on rocking girl!!!

Yay for snow days! I’m off today and am pretty jacked about it. Haha but after this the snow can go away for good! I’m with you… summer, come faster! Congrats on your PRs and almost PRs! .1 away is definitely a big accomplishment in my book.
I got a snow day too
And I agree, the snow needs to leave after today!
The snow is coming down as we speak! Yuck! I don’t mind it if I don’t have to get out, but with a puppy, I am for sure getting out several times a day. Hope you are getting the day off…my kids are, which is very unusual.

I know what you mean! I have 2 dogs and it can be annoying letting them out when there is a ton of snow!
so sorry you missed your PR Brittany! .1 away is something to be proud of though.
that thin mint smoothie looks and sounds wonderful by the way!

Ah college in Cali sounds awesome, especially with all of this cold weather! Your smoothie looks delicious

Thanks Alex
I love looking at catalogs like that but the summer stuff in them always makes me all the more antsy for summer to just GET HERE! I sure am hoping the snow will stay south of New England! I’m over it.

I know! Enough with the snow already!
Congrats on doing so well in crew! From what I hear from people at my college (crew is big there), those practices are intense! Pittsburgh is supposed to get hit with a snowstorm tonight/tomorrow. I am so with you, girl…summer cannot come soon enough!
