Hello and welcome to random thoughts Thursday! This is the day where I dish on the latest and greatest in running related (and not so running related) material! So, without further ado…let’s get to what’s going on inside of my crazy mind lately.
–I got my hair done yesterday before going on a date and can I just tell you how much I absolutely NEEDED that pampering session?! I kind of wish I could do this once a week but unfortunately income tax money only comes once a year. It was lovely though. See I even have a selfie to prove it.
-This is without a doubt my favorite time of year. I love it when the sunshine is loud and proud and I especially love the extra daylight in the evenings. It is making my double run days that much more fun.
–How awesome is this coffee mug!? My favorite little coffee shop has the best ones. YOU GO GIRL. Great way to start the morning after a good run.
–Of course, it is DARK AS ALL GET OUT in the mornings now though for my early runs. But it does help when you have your frans to get you up in the a.m. & knock it out.
–I saw a coyote in broad daylight during my lunch run the other day. It was actually kind of funny because we both just kind of hung out there a sec and stared at one another for a bit. Like, we were both asking each other, “WTF are you doing…on MY trail?!” So finally I threw in the towel and re routed my run.
–I am thinking about doing a BIRTHDAY RUN again this year. Yes, I will be turning the big 3-4. As most of my faithful readers know I ran 33 miles on my birthday last year. And it’s perfect training for my upcoming 50 miler. So I will probably have to take off work and make it happen. It’s either that or run for 34 minutes (HA) we shall see.
–Okay – confession time, sometimes I just read blogs for the comments. Just me? People can be funny.
–Also, if you do not have a little bit of a sense of humor I am probably not going to be an avid reader of your blog. Sorry not sorry. There is just too much seriousness out on earth right now. A sister needs a good laugh.
–Maybe it is just that my IDAGF light shines a little brighter as I get older? Welcome to being in your 30s. It’s fun here.
What are some of your random thoughts this week?! Tell me any and everything! It is a no judgement zone. Usually.

There are coyotes on my favourite hiking trail. The city has a sign entering the trail stating that they are more or less harmless and are scared off by noise, but I don’t know. I avoid hiking at dusk because that’s when they’re more likely to be seen.
Yeah they are pretty skittish around here too. We see them a lot in Texas so it is not really a big deal anymore. I’m glad we don’t see any bears in Dallas! lol
Nooooooo bears! That would keep me inside for sure.
We have bears here in PA. Big bears. They don’t bother you either. I made 3 laps passed one a few years ago. He was busy eating blueberries and had them smeared all over his muzzle. The first time by he ran to the edge of the woods. The second time by he back up a bit and warily watched me go by. The third time by he just kept eating berries and just looked at me like “Isn’t it a beautiful day”?
haha…NICE!! I think I would like to see one sometime from far far away! I’ll have to run some trails up there someday.
You’re kidding?! Was it a black bear? We do have black bears up in cottage country, but they mostly just sniff around for trash. I know black bears are a lot more passive than the big bad grizzlies. A grizzly mom would gouge your neck out to protect her cubs.
Your hair looks awesome… But what about the daaaate!? 😉
Yaaaassss…it was not the first one, but it was lovely 😉
AWWWW YEAH!
Here’s a comment for you . . .
Looking beautiful in that dolled up pic.
Thank you very much!!!
Looking gorgeous!! I’m all about the fun too!! Don’t get me wrong, I know there is a time to be serious, but hey let’s not get serious about it!!
LOL exactly!!! Yes I love your blog, y’all are always party time! I’m so going to make my way out to Florida for some racin’!
Yes!! Let me know when and where!!
I love the IDGAF syndrome associated with my 30’s. I have been known to say “I’m sorry but that sounds like a personal problem”. Yes, I know that someone has set you on fire; but I repeat, that’s a personal problem.
Random thought: Why do we park in driveways, but drive on parkways?
LOL – not my circus not my monkeys for sure!!
OOHHH. I should incorporate that into my vernacular.
I’m totally with you about needing some humor in the blogs that I read regularly. I come for the running, but I STAY for the laughs. 🙂
Word!!
Your hair looks great and glad to hear the date went well too:) See sometimes I read the comments too,LOL
haha you always have some great comments, girlie! You are very entertaining!!!!
Looking good Chelsea! And your playlist…looking good too. I like the new Derulo track. Have a great TGIF & wknd!
Thanks Steve! Happy weekend to you as well!!!
I’m with you on hair… I wish I could have someone fix my hair everyday. Hair is annoying! 🙂 I hope the date went well!
Random thought: people should not be allowed to work-out in the gym while popping their gum. I almost throat chopped a lady the other day. Don’t judge.
“Throat chopped” made me laugh out loud at work!!! Love it!
