Yup, that was the most random title for a blog post – I wonder if I’ll get “Freshly Pressed” for that one 😉
It’s been a fun few days between work and home with the girls. I managed to play Pickle Ball the other day at work – yeah, I know… lucky us! We played for about 45 minutes then met all day – pretty good way to start a meeting, eh!
Pickle Ball is completely new to me but apparently gaining popularity among senior’s groups! I grew up playing badminton and love the sport so Pickle Ball was pretty awesome! You have a paddle and waffle ball (the colour of a pickle) and play on a badminton court. You can use normal badminton nets or these smaller indoor tennis tents!
Pickle Ball players in training!
We celebrated Valentine’s Day. Watched a bunch of Olympics and played in the snow…again!
The girls are pretty into that hockey game (Can. vs. Fin).
Running these days….I feel like I am the Queen of procrastination this week in regards to my running. It was kinda taking a back seat to life, work and coming down with a cold. I’ve played soccer, played in the snow, skated and managed a few lousy runs. It took me a lot of convincing Saturday night to get my run in.
I have no races coming up and I think that’s why my motivation is lacking to run right now. I’m thinking a virtual run is needed in the next 4 weeks or I’m just going to have to set some goals to get some good running in.
Me, not overly impressed about going for a run. It happens.
What did you do this weekend?
Anyone loving the Olympics or is it starting to get old? (I’m loving it!)
Have you ever played or heard of Pickle Ball ?
Piper's Run 
lol, pickle ball. I’ve never heard of it before but the name cracks me up 🙂
It IS a funny name for a sport!
My Mom was going on about pickle ball one day and I was like “WHat the heck are you talking about?” but it sounds fun!
It’s a massive hit throughout the Valley with Seniors! It’s actually quite fun!
I’ve never heard of pickleball – but it sounds fun! I’m game to try anything once!
I had never heard of it before and was a little unsure until I played it.
I remember playing pickle ball in gym class! It was so fun! And as for the Olympics, my whole family and my bf are totally high on every sport but I couldn’t be any less interested… I’m a terrible person I know
lol
You did! That’s awesome!
Your not a terrible person…it’s not for everyone 🙂
Never heard of pickle ball, but it sounds freaky. I like it. We’re loving the olympics too. I set a big marathon PR this weekend, then watched olympics until I fell asleep, then watched more after I woke up. it was fantastic.
Congrats on your new marathon PR – wow….sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever run a FULL marathon. That’s awesome! Great way to spend your time post race – watching the Olympics!
Thanks for sharing about pickle ball! How bizarre! This weekend I actually got a sweat in – yoga! Slowly coming back from injury!
It’s pretty fun! Glad to hear you are getting in some good activity while the knee recovers.
I have never heard of Pickle Ball! haha! I can imagine pickles flying about! Sounds good though! 🙂
Ha ha. Well the ball is the colour of a pickle – thought that was weird! Maybe it makes it easier on the eyes, who knows?!
Haha! Sounds cool! 😀
We used to play Pickle Ball in PE- completely forgot about it until just now haha!
That’s awesome! Glad I could bring you back to your PE classes 🙂
