Quote from zoom-zoom on 2/12/2008 at 1:17 PM:Alan, that's miserable. Better to be injured when the weather is crummy. 60...ahhh...that sounds heavenly! Let's trade locales...you come here and stay warm indoors whilst looking at the pretty snow and I'll go there and run. Then when you are healed we can trade back and the weather here might be better. 
You know as much as I would love to I will have to decline. We have a cold front coming through tonight so I think I will a taste of the cold. Let's see, I think it is supposed to get down to 30* or so.

| Burn out city!! I'm in the boat with you. I think this is a sign that next year at this time we need to take a week-long vacation somewhere warm, tropical and sunny. I'm calendaring it right now!! |

I feel your pain, basically sidelined for going on 4 weeks. Weather is the least of my problems. Buh. |

WOW...is that you in the pic? You're look like you are 20 years old???
Move south young girl move south!!! I am in central VA and this morning was the 1st time in 2 weeks I had the long stuff on. Last week I ran in shorts and short sleeves a couple of days....temps in the 70's. But the one thing about VA, if you don't like the weather wait a day and it will be different. Though I can't imagine your weather, and don't want to experience it either, I do hate "cold" weather and all that goes with it-snow, ice, sleet, etc... I would rather run when it is 90 degrees than run when it is in the teens. It takes my old butt forever to get into the run when it is cold |

 Thanks! That was taken 3 years ago, so I was 32. I still get carded (at least when I don't have DS with me), which rocks! |

I agree! DH and I just banked timeshare time so we can take a week off with the kids next winter - April vacation, actually, because that time of year is worse than February up here! It will help to have something warm to look forward to.  |

| Ha! I was determined to run a mile for every 5 I've been alive and goldurnit I did! It kinda sucked and the windchill was ~5º. No bare asphalt anywhere and when I returned home my hat had frozen to my hair around the nape of my neck, but I did my slow 7+ miles and Old Man Winter and that biotch Mother Nature didn't stop me! |

Is 41 too old to apply for a cabana boy job?

I'm having a rough time as well...Met my 1000K goal for 2007 by almost DOUBLING my monthly miles JUST in December, took a week off then started ramping up for the Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon in Phoenix in January...THEN got sick as a dog for about a week...
I'm trying to get my motivation back too, especially since that pace bunny for the 1000k for 2008 is about 30 miles ahead of me...  |
