I haven’t done a Top Ten Tuesday for a while so I thought I’d share some things with you today. These are just random things that I’ve seen recently that made me smile!
Joseph shared this Guinness commercial with us last week. Since then I’ve seen it circulating on Facebook and saw it on Monday Night Football last night. I want everyone of these guys to know that they are invited to run or roll with the Cruisers any time they want. These guys are a class act!
Daniel texted this picture to me last week. Can I just say that I always want to be as happy as this cow is, and I wish that I had one of these on my deck to wash the salt, sweat, and grim off of me after a run!
While running today at 11 AM in the heat and humidity, I passed a young man wearing jeans and carrying a CVS bag. A little later he started running, caught up, and passed me. As he ran past, our conversation went something like this:
Young Man: I thought it would be a lot faster to get home by running.
Me: I can’t believe I’m getting passed by someone wearing jeans.
Young Man: I used to run 80 miles a week in high school when I ran cross country. I just graduated from college.
Me: Where did you go to school?
Young Man: The University of Richmond, ma’am. Have a great day, ma’am. It’s my bedtime.And with that he sprinted off…
Saturday morning as we were leaving our friends’ apartment for the game, their dog Chloe stood in the window giving us her most pitiful look. I think she knew that she would be missing tequila shots!
I saw these at 7-Eleven Sunday on our way home from Blacksburg. Doesn’t everyone need a pickle in a bag?
The heat and humidity left for a week or so and my runs showed it! Below are my Run Keeper splits from two runs. The one on the left was on August 30 on a hot and humid day, and the one of the right was yesterday. The time stamp at the top of the photo is when I did the screen shot, not what time I ran. The course was identical for the first six miles. Green denotes my fastest mile and red is my slowest mile.
6.03 miles at 10:22 min/mile pace
6.21 miles at 9:16 min/mile pace
This pretty much sums up why I run! Just kidding… sort of.
Don’t you just love Pinterest for finding useless things funny stuff?
Bill sent this little eCard to me last fall, and one of my friends sent it to me this morning. I smile every time I see it!

That cow picture is hilarious. My dog would LOVE that! That is too funny about the college kid! You need to watch the video of Yuri on my blog today. Reminds me of that conversation you had with him.
I love those ecards!
The humidity lifted nicely this weekend but started creeping back in yesterday. Today is like summer again, super humid already and supposed to be in high 80s to low 90s! So much for feeling fall-like!
We are supposed to get another break from the humidity here on Friday through the weekend! Yay!!!
I love Pinterest!! Lots of useless stuff on there! Monday was the first day in about 2 weeks where we have had some relief, temperature wise. I was actually able to open up all our windows in the house in the morning and there was a cool breeze!! I love it!! I will see how my runs go the rest of the week with this cooler weather! I am ready for Fall like temperatures over here. It just makes running sooooo much easier! I forgot to enter the giveaway, but I already have a Spi Belt that I love!!! I use it on all my long runs to hold my ID/cash/phone.
The weather sounds wonderful there!
Love the ‘Let’s Go Hokies’ eCard. So sweet!
It made my day when Bill sent it to me in an email last fall! 🙂
I love that Guinness commercial! I saw it on MNF, too. Love that picture Daniel sent you! I hadn’t actually seen brushes like that before we went to the farm down the road last week. It’s the one that had the resin Holstein cow still wrapped in cardboard that I posted a picture of. It’s a high-tech free stall barn, complete with those brushes, a robot that pushes up feed, and robotic milkers (the cows go in and out as they please to be milked… no parlor).
Where is that free stall barn? I need to take my dad to see it. I’m sure he would love it!
Just down the road from our house 🙂 Y’all can come by anytime and we’ll take you down to see it! Barry works there a few days a week.
Cool, and thanks! 🙂
