It was in the 40s, today (I'm sick with probably a mild flu, so no run today...thanks to DH and DS), 2 days ago we had a ton of snow. I think this is the most erratic Winter I've ever lived through. We had a day in the 50s not long ago and my MIL said it was in the 60s by her yesterday...she lives only about 8 hours away from us and our temps were about half that. k

Lifesabeach, Is San Diego really all that my wife says it is? My wife says she would move there in a heartbeat. We have been threatening to move for awhile now, and Cali keeps coming up. Any thoughts? Thanks, Andy

We have A LOT of snow heading in to our area. It's hovering around freezing and we have 8 or so inches at the moment. Smile

after reading online dailies and seeing the conditions others run in, yes. Cool

The only element that kept me from running outside last year was the smoke from the wild fires. There is a gaping hole in my log for that week. Dead

Nows the time...it's the perfect time to afford a house here since the market has crashed.

Really? Man, you know it's bad when the poor housing market is even having an effect on SD. I'd LOVE to live in SoCal. I have a friend in the LA area and I would love to live there. She's close enough to the ocean that it never gets too hot. It kind of reminds me of our area in the Summer, only with palm trees...love those endless beaches. k

Brrrrrrr - thinking of your winter just gave me a chill!!! Our winter has been pretty mild. My kids are really hoping for some snow days, but they might be out of luck this year.

Wow, that's HUGE! I don't even want to know the stats here, but I know the housing market is nearly frozen. I hope it improves before we are ready to sell. I really don't want to be trapped here forever. Black eye

I gave blood today, and I asked the nice nurses if I could run tonight. All three said no. Never let qualified medical advice stand in the way of a run, there was no way in hell that I was going to let a 37 degree night go to waste. Compared to the stuff I've been running in, it felt absolutely tropical. The days are getting longer, hang in there Zoomie.
