Motivate Me Monday #194 {Block Party} • Keeping it Simple

Hello everyone!! Happy Sunday/Monday! Did you get any snow this weekend? The west got hit and got hit hard. We didn’t get much but an hour away from us roads were closed because they got 5+ inches.

If you follow me on Facebook, then you know that I have been training for a half marathon for the past 3 months. Well it was supposed to be this weekend, but in Rapid City, SD they got hit really hard, 20+ inches of snow! All roads going in there were closed, so the race got canceled. Made me a little sad because I had trained so hard and with the weather, it’s hard to get to another race that is close enough to here. Maybe I’ll find another one in the spring or summer.

It’s that time of the week for the link party!

It's Time for a Block Party! Link up at one of these great blogs and be seen on all four! Making the World Cuter, Sumo's Sweet Stuff, Rae Gun Ramblings and Keeping it Simple
