I'm just ready for shorts weather, kind of tired of putting on so much clothing just for runs.... but such is life
Also, when it gets warmer I'll be able to do my cross training activities - walking with Dorian, rollerblading with Dorian, hiking with Dorian.

Barking Mad To Run
It was 47 degrees when I ran this morning. Now it's noon and we are down in the 30s, fun, and the rain is just starting to spit at us. Usually if the roads freeze over then the whole city - except for 'mission essential' places like police department, fire dept, hospitals, etc - pretty much shuts down and everything closes for the day. Probably a good thing cuz South Texans are TERRIBLE bad-weather drivers. It's supposed to start tonite and last through all day tomorrow - our high for tomorrow will only be 29! - and then by Saturday morning we are back in the 40s, and will get to near 70 again on Saturday afternoon. Crazy weather.
Great running for you, Zelanie!
Good luck to your daughter, Andrew, with the doctor appointment, hope it all gets figured out.
Dang, Step, 30 below zero wind chills! That's awful! I wouldn't even leave the house! Where the heck do you live, near Canada?
Wow, FreeSoul, compared to Step's windchill temps, you got a heat wave going! Hope you and Rocky have a nice outing tomorrow. Stay safe!
Happy 5 miles and soccer game, Ric!
Enjoy the gym time, Kristin. Nice to get out of work unexpectedly early.
Congrats on the 6 miles, Yugo....or good luck with them if you haven't done them yet.

Found out before bed last night that I have a lot of cancelations at my afternoon job and will finish at 5:45 instead of 8:00 so I decided to go to the gym tonight instead of this morning. 1.5-2 miles and strength on the agenda.
Glad to see you back at it!

FreeSoul, you feel free to visit San Antonio any time you need a winter get-away. And bring the shorts, you can wear them here!
I HEREBY VOW TO LILY I WILL BE MORE CHEERFUL.
Had a glorious 7 mile run at lunchtime today, in exhilarating 9F/-5F windchill conditions! It was breathtaking! (Literally - I was having trouble breathing.)
The sun was shining! (Well part of the time. And I think it was the sun - I remember it as that thing in the sky bringing light & warmth...the light was there, but the other part was missing.)
The birds were singing! (Well, penguins maybe...do they sing? No they dance, from that one movie. Or they march, from that other movie. Anyway the penguins would have been enjoying themselves.)
And I checked - all my fingers & toes are still intact! So that's good!
Can't wait to do it again tomorrow!!

Lol, thanks....
FreeSoul is describing Miami Winter weather. You know, when it's less than 90F.
I'm a brat, but I am jealous of those who really don't have major season changes - the kind where summer is just slightly warmer than winter and winter isn't much colder than summer. Here summer is miserable, muggy and hot and sometimes no rain at all, but then winter can be extremely cold and icy, or really cold and rainy. I get used to summer and start enjoying running it, even in 90-100 degrees....... then BOOM! the very next day it's anywhere between 40-60 degrees.......... sometimes I wonder if this is damaging to my body

You made me laugh, so I forgive you.

Try running in 90-100F and 90-100% humidity for 11 months and then decide. It fucking sucks for too long to even enjoy it unless I spend 15 hours at the pool or beach. There is no run where I don't want to puke.

But that is good, no?
Then move if it is that bad.......... even if DH says no.
We will, eventually. But it is not easy unless I can find $50000 to be able to sell my house because that's what it is still under water for or pay $6000/month for two homes. So, his offer must be solid. And apparently, no snow, ha.
Jeez. Do I now have to get back in the good graces of Baboon? Bah, not worth it.
