That's next weekend.
E.J.Greater Lowell Road RunnersCry havoc and let slip the dawgs of war!May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.
It will be nice to have my cotton hanky along on my runs to wipe sweat from my face, too, instead of using it as a snot-rag.
60s...man, I don't remember what that feels like. I'm gonna feel naked once we hit 50s and I start baring my legs and arms again.

I just have to remember that all the winter training is going to make me a better, faster runner in the spring. Right?
Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

On the weather front, I can see grass (such as it is) in my back yard for the first time since November. Yuck.

One day at a time
We're getting a nice little melt going! It's been in the 30s and 40s for the past couple of days, which has been great. It was supposed to rain all day, but that hasn't happened, so I got a nice late morning 15 miler in some quite wonderful weather. Then I spent 20 minutes breaking the 3 inches of ice up that's on my driveway and hurling 20 and 30 pound blocks of it over the 6 foot snowbanks. Still plenty out there, but I was hungry after having been running for 2 hours so I came inside.
Another Passion
I felt exactly like this running in Florida yesterday. Shorts and my RA running tank! I couldn't believe how much lighter and faster I felt not wearing 17 layers of clothing. I go back to snow in Missouri in a few days. I just have to remember that all the winter training is going to make me a better, faster runner in the spring. Right?

You KNOW it! I've told myself that for 3 months now, especially this past Saturday when my eyelids were freezing shut from running into a wind-driven snow out of the north. - see, even the grinning smiley face is squinting at the thought of that!
