The Hungry Runner Girl: New Breakfast Buddy

New Breakfast Buddy

Charlie and I had a romantic breakfast for two this morning.

I am a little mad at him....he wouldn't even take a break from his grub to take a picture and he came to eat mine as soon as he was finished.

Now I know how Billy feels.

Honey, I will no longer steal bites from your plate when I am finished with mine and still hungry. I will now just order/or make two entrees for me for each of my meals.

Win-win.

Workout:

30 Minutes stairclimber.

30 Minutes elliptical

3.85 speedy run with Billy and my brother-in-law that is on the track team. I am trying to convince him to move to Utah....he is so stinkin fast and so fun to run with.

6.6 minutes too many weights. I even attempted some push-ups. Be proud.

What are your plans today?

-We are going to the running store Snail's Pace.....my heaven and then to a fancy seafood restaurant.....my heaven. Expect me to eat at least 2 lbs. of crab.

Do you have a pet? Do you like animals?

-I LOVE animals. I want a dog so bad. Billy told me as soon as my responsibility sticker chart is filled up (by doing things like not loosing my purse and phone every two seconds) I can get my very own puppy. It will probably be 5 years.

I'm about to head to a sports store here that is having a huge sale on running gear! YESS.
I have 2 dogs. A bloodhound and a pyranees. both rescued. LOVE THEM! I spend atleast 10 minutes a day looking for my keys and have to have someone call me about once a week to help find my phone..does that mean I'm not responsible enough for dogs yet? : )

I'm getting out of work early today (right now!) woo! So I'm going shopping!

We're planning on getting a dog after we get married. :)

I feel like POO and cannot breath out of my nose. This has been ongoing for about 10 days now. So I will think of you having so much fun, while I snuggle with my tissue box!
I sadly enough do not like animals. I never want one. I think they smell and their hair makes my eyes itch. I enjoy looking at other people's animals, just don't want any for myself!
Enjoy your last days of sunshine, the weather here is freezing and nasty!!
At December 30, 2010 at 2:05 PM , Jess @ Blonde Ponytail said...: So cute!! I hope you get your puppy dog sooner rather than later! So rewarding and they always wag their tail when you come home, unlike husbands! :)

I like Charlie blankie!

I love animals!!!!! All of them! I think we as humans can learn a lot from them!

Yum. Crab.

He's lucky he's cute because it helps diffuse my frustration. Denali is a Siberian husky and he's fabulous. Plus, he's a great running partner. While I'd say I like other animals, I mostly like him though I do make exceptions for some dogs ... and gorillas. I like gorillas.
At December 30, 2010 at 2:21 PM , Nathan said...: I have a cat. My kids want horses, hampsters, llamas, goats, lizards, puppies, chinchillas... A cat will do.

That puppy is cute, though :)

I like billy's responsibility chart idea. I think we must share some of the same brain cells (you and I) about the lost stuff!
At December 30, 2010 at 2:21 PM , Virginia Belle said...: Yum seafood is my favorite! Enjoy your delicious meal out! I want a dog sooo badly but my husband won't let me since we live in a tiny apartment right now. I try to convince him that we could make it work, but I guess he does have a point! For now I will just have to squeeze in as much time as possible with my parent's dog!

I have a Great Dane, named Gloria.. aka Gdog. Love her!!!!!!!!

At December 30, 2010 at 2:37 PM , Anonymous said...: Billy and I are about to go out on a bike ride! Then we'll probably cook dinner at home and take it easy for our fun New Year's Eve party tomorrow night. Although I kinda wish we were coming to chaperone the dance with you. :)
At December 30, 2010 at 2:38 PM , Shannon said...: My plans today were to run and set off bug bombs.

I have 5 dogs, a bird, 4 cats, and will soon have a ferret.

I want crab.
At December 30, 2010 at 2:40 PM , J said...: Well my day is almost over here. And I pretty much just sat on the couch/tried to crochet more. Being on vacation is so nice, going back to work is going to be rough!

My parents have a cat but she is not allowed in the house, so I don't see her much unless I go to the basement and that hasn't been happening lately since I just sit in the recliner all day!
At December 30, 2010 at 2:45 PM , A Prelude To... said...: I have a dog and I miss my cat who got eaten. Seriously. By coyotes :-(

The thing about dogs (and I LOVE MY DOG) is that they are a lot of work. At least mine have been. They eat your new furniture, they leave mud splatters on all the walls, they cost major moolah to kennel, they grab your freshly cooked meal when you turn your back, they make your green lawn turn yellow in spots...
but what I've decided is they are definitely worth it.

I've found that my dogs have made me a much less anal person. So what if I go out in public with a dog hair all over me and my house is a disaster of mud and hair? I'm loved unconditionally by someone( or, rather, somedog) and that's a good feeling!
At December 30, 2010 at 2:55 PM , Hungry Like a Hippo said...: My plans for the day just changed. I walked into my boyfriends apartment to use his laundry machines....this place is a mess...mostly with my stuff. Oops! Guess ill be cleaning this afternoon :)
At December 30, 2010 at 3:01 PM , Anonymous said...: lol, I want a dog too, but Dan told me the exact same thing. I already have 2 cats though

I ran HIIT intervals, did a little arm work. Went to work, about to drive home. How exciting?!?
At December 30, 2010 at 3:24 PM , Amanda@runninghood said...: This is the second blog I have read today and hopefully the last until this evening. My plans are to shut the computer and read and learn from a book for a solid hour (at least). I like other people's animals but don't want one of my own But we are probably going to have to get a dog for these little kids of ours...part of childhood I guess...uggh, the responsibility it bring! kids are enough work. You inspire me to do more cross training workouts....do you do this to prevent injury or just because you like cross training?
At December 30, 2010 at 3:25 PM , Trying To Heal said...: ah! i love snail's pace! they people there are always so nice, but i think their clothing is a bit expensive. no fun.

great workout today too! i went to the gym and tried the elliptical but had to get off. it was too weird...i don't know how you do it. it makes me feel like a puppet!

today is a day of baking since everything is covered in ice and i can't drive anywhere safely. no fun!
At December 30, 2010 at 3:26 PM , Pam @ herbieontherun.com said...: I have two dogs and one cat, and I love them all dearly!

I would love to have a dog but the stupid building we live in is a "no dog" building. Moving in March so we plan to get a dog then.
At December 30, 2010 at 3:31 PM , Anonymous said...: Hah I love dogs. My dog is so fun to run with, except he thinks I'm too slow and has to wait for me. We have a cat too, and he is certifiable crazy.
At December 30, 2010 at 3:36 PM , Matt said...: Today you did 6.6 minutes more weights than I did. LOL.
At December 30, 2010 at 3:53 PM , Angie said...: That dog is so cute! I love dogs. I blogged about my dog's birthday today, lol. She just turned a year old, so I get to start running with her soon. :)Enjoy your crab!!!

At December 30, 2010 at 4:15 PM , A Big Little Life said...: You need to get a dog, pronto. Once you have one, you won't know how you ever lived without one.
At December 30, 2010 at 4:23 PM , Unknown said...: I have a cat, Frida! But I want a dog oh-so-bad. Hopefully soon I can adopt a little love nugget. :)
At December 30, 2010 at 4:49 PM , 5 Miles Past Empty said...: I have a dog, Lazy Dog. He is a huge German Shepherd. I love him. A lot.

I did a killer workout today. Mile run warm up. Weights- legs, shoulders and tris

3 mile interval run
30 min eliptical

And I get to wake up tomorrow and do it all over again! =)

My plans today where to work, and go to the gym (I was running late but still managed to do about 5.5 miles on the dreadmill. Good for me!)
At December 30, 2010 at 5:02 PM , Generation X (Slomohusky) said...: we have two cats that hang out in our showers after using them. watching whatever goes down the drain. we seriously need to get a dog!

At December 30, 2010 at 6:38 PM , Leslie said...: I have been slinking around your website for an hour now... so I should probably introduce myself. Hello, and like so many do in life, I found you through SR. Love your blog. Hate your speed. I admit, I'm jealous. Curious about the Vibrams - did you slowly work your way down to barefoot from trainers? How so? I'm in the process of moving down based on my chiropractor's recommendation. Suggestions would be welcome!
At December 30, 2010 at 6:46 PM , Anonymous said...: I would LOVE to have a kitten. But it's not realistic right now :(

What a cute name for a running store - "Snail's Pace"?!
At December 30, 2010 at 7:43 PM , Abby said...: What a cute pooch! We've got two dogs - Lupine and Phin. They've climbed two mountains with us this week, and were rewarded after each with Subway grilled chicken sandwiches. They're starting to think they're human...
At December 30, 2010 at 7:55 PM , Carrie said...: Awh! I love this pic! :) I LOVE animals and I also want a dog sososo bad. I oogled Husky puppies for almost an hour when my bro went to pick up a leash for his dog. And boston terriers! And jack russell terriers! I think I need at least 3 dogs. And I think mice are really cute too. And bunnies... When I grow up I will probably live in a menagerie.
Today I tried on my wetsuit for the first time! And that's about all. :P
At December 30, 2010 at 8:03 PM , Beth said...: I have 3 dogs =) love them, you should get a dog that can run with you! I would have more pets but I work at a zoo, so I get my fill at work.

At December 30, 2010 at 8:10 PM , Anonymous said...: Too cute!

We have a cat, Fred, and I blog/brag about him like his is my child. It is pathetic, but I figure if I admit how pathetic it is I can get away with it...
At December 30, 2010 at 8:12 PM , Southern Sober Girl Runs said...: Pets are a BIG responsibility. That dog is so precious--fluffy furry. I could sop him up with a biscuit!!

At December 30, 2010 at 8:38 PM , Miranda said...: Cute puppy!! Good luck with your chart, hope you fill it up quickly!!

We have 2 dogs, they are a mess and we couldn't live without them. Kids + dogs = heaven on earth.
At December 30, 2010 at 9:16 PM , Jenn said...: Responsibility sticker chart-BAAHH!

Why do you ALWAYS get to go out to good places to eat!! Subway or Pizza hut here. Help-I'm trapped-I need Nordstrom's and seafood!!! Still jealous of the Banana Republic jacket in your last post.....

No pets here. We have tried the dog that ate it's own doghouse including the insulation, the cat that used my running shoes as a litter box, the fish (RIP), the turtle who lived in the kitchen in a laundry basket, the robin with the broken wing that actually drew blood on my finger with its beak, the mouse(not really a pet but we did have one once). I think God saw us fit to be only parents of children-they are pretty much animals anyway!

Happy New Year!
At December 30, 2010 at 9:28 PM , Shannon said...: I do like animals. I would like a dog, but my family doesn't like animals, and what would I do with the dog when we go down the shore or other places together? Right now I don't have a dog friendly apartment so the idea is shelved for the time being. I often run with shelter dogs though to get my puppy fix!
At December 30, 2010 at 9:39 PM , Anonymous said...: When we own a home and have lots of room we will get a dog. Right now it's hard with just renting. But we have Harrison, and he is great. Harrison is our five year old African Grey Parrot.

I have a lurvely little doggie called Buddy. Hurry up and fill up that sticker chart so you can get one too! :D

I hope you and Billy have a wonderfully happy and safe NYE! Don't worry, you'll get a puppy someday (I have two dogs!) and you will love every second of being a puppy-parent! ;)
At December 31, 2010 at 11:27 AM , Jen said...: We have a dog. We got her for the kids. She loves me the most. It's not mutual. Good luck with your sticker chart! Puppies are fun, but then they grow up. And yeah, you're so stinkin cute!
