Hey hey! High five for random thoughts Thursday! The weekend is almost upon us. I’m very much looking forward to some ultra running fun this weekend with good pals! This will be my last full work day this week, then I’ll work a half day tomorrow and head to east Texas. Should be a good time!
But first…it would not be Thursday without a few random thoughts by yours truly.
–Is it just me or is blogging really not what it used to be? I really still love It, mostly because I am a writer so it just comes natural to me. Blogging for me is just a therapy of sorts. Really the bloggers I enjoy don’t seem to blog as much at all, or anymore. There are a few good ones out there still left though. Like a lot of you! I love networking with fellow runners and like minded athletes around the world. Let’s keep the blog love alive!
–I cannot tell you how much I need this mini weekend getaway with my trail friends to the piney woods. Being in east Texas for me is always such a lovely experience. I went there for a yoga retreat a few years ago for my birthday and now I get to go back there to run. Fun fun.
–The broken stereo saga at the gym continues. I talked about this in another random rant post. The gym has promised me up and down that the music system and the mic is all fixed tonight. I sure hope so because I am going to lose it if I have to play music from my tiny Bluetooth one more day. The fitness instructor struggle is real.
–I am back on my chai tea kick again. I cannot promise you I am going to be a tea drinker and never drink coffee anymore. But some days I just need a little tea in my life. Preferably with steamed almond milk in it. Yes, I can be a diva.
–I watched Clueless the other day and kind of forgot how much I loved that movie. Some days you just need to watch some mindless TV or a movie that makes you lose a few brain cells.
–The one thing I will miss about these super hot Texas summer days hands down is pool time. Sitting outside by the pool after a long day watching the sunset? Absolutely priceless.
Tell me something random about your week!

Hey I watched Clueless on the plane home from Boston this summer and enjoyed it as much as ever!
Tomorrow is a ProD day for me so while I have to be at work, I won’t have children, so almost a holiday. I’m jealous of your running getaway – sounds amazing and fun!
Yep, Clueless just never gets old!!!
Oops I meant to ask, what makes a good blogger? I’m new so I’m trying to improve:)
LOL…I am not the expert on good or bad bloggers it’s just that I’ve been blogging for YEARS and a lot of the ones I used to follow are no longer doing it. But, as I mentioned I enjoy your blog as well as others that put out good content! I always enjoy talking to like minded individuals who are passionate regarding health and fitness. 😉
Love Clueless! And I also feel the same about blogging these days. I’ve been blogging on and off for ages, starting and abandoning sites all over the place. And it seems now that everyone else is getting out of the game, I’m finally ready to stick with it! I think it has to do with shortening attention spans? Maybe people would rather look at one pretty picture with a caption on Instagram or just watch a video instead. Or listen to podcasts so they can multitask. *puts up hand*
I’m loving blogging again though. It’s a great way for me to keep track of my training journey, whether or not anyone besides my bf reads it! I know I’ll look back at my posts and be happy I wrote it all down. 🙂 I’m also getting so much inspiration from all of the running bloggers out there. ❤
I could not have said it better myself!! Oh yesss count me in on the podcasts too. I love me some podcasts lately!!
I find I’m in a blog slump. When I first started I was so enthusiastic and wanted to post daily. Now I feel I’m lacking new things to write about. I still love reading blogs and always enjoy your insight and inspiration, Chels.
Yeah I think it’s easy to get into a slump – I find sometimes I have to think about what to write but I really enjoy the random thoughts Thursday lately. I think I just have a lot on my mind!! And y’all get to be my sounding boards!! HA! So thank you!
