In July 2011, I weighed 278 lbs. On Mar 12, 2013 I made the decision to qualify for the Boston Marathon. This was my journey. Now I'm a recovering alcoholic, this is my new journey. I'm still running a marathon, just a different type.
I do have my running shoes in my car, but no running today. I think I hurt my hip pushing cars up the hill. Anyway, I am probably stuck at work all night, but fortunately a pickup truck full of food got stuck in our parking lot and said we can eat anything we want. So Pizza and cookies tonight!!!
Stay safe!! This makes me smile since I live in central Iowa and our versions of snow storms are very different. All perspective and what we are familiar with 😉
We just started getting the sleet in the last hour. Be careful! I haven’t lived in Iowa for three years so it’s actually exciting for my family! We keep going out to see if it’s getting slippery and accumulating and all that “southerner” stuff! They’re out of school and everything is closed so we might as well enjoy it!!
Haha, I bet! I’m in FL and my boss asked me today (from OR) if it was snowing here. I told him obviously not as if even a flake fell from the sky I’d immediately call in sick to work just because. I’ve heard of this thing called snow….
Wow!!! That’s crazy! Be safe, friend! No running for you today.

I’m a little jealous of being stuck in the snow with pizza and cookies…..but not necessarily being stuck at work. Hope you make it home!
Thanks! I don’t plan on making it tonight. Cars are abandoned on the interstate. Still snowing hard.
Stay safe!
I am warm and safe back at work. Fortunately I only got about 1/4 mile away before everything came to a standstill. Thanks!!!

I’m from Pennsylvania originally. That is one of the reasons I could help people up the hill. 🙂

I envy you. I would be enjoying this so much more if I were home. The thought of being “stuck” at work for 3 days straight is a bit overwhelming.
Very cool that you were helping other people when you couldn’t get out yourself!
Thanks! It was quite an adventure.

Ha. I wish I had called in. I’d be home in bed rather than sleeping on the floor at work.
