Ahhhh welcome to spring...except when it isnt. It is really common to hit a "I am so freaking sick of running in this crap" point this time of year. My running partner and I have been going strong all winter and now grouse every run about the weather. The teasing temptation of spring makes this everlasting shit unbearable. The calendar says it is spring dammit, so where the hell is it? Take a little break if you want or go run on a treadmill for a few days (nothing gets me back out there faster than the dreadmill option) or HTFU and just do it. Whichever.

For me, I've found that I've completely wimped out with this weather. I've let my winter shield down and am ready for spring and can no longer mentally handle anything wintery.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Wanna pass that joint, man...only way you could be smiling right now is if you're high.
Awesome

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Ask me why I live in the south? It is 56 F. Tuesday we are lookoing at 71 F. Now I understand why people run on treadmills.
Go Pre!
LMAO, I was going to say the same thing. I ran all winter in Toronto. I found the last 2 weeks to be great for running and I found the small residential streets completely bare. Sidewalks do suck though I'll give you that. ....... Just push through man! MTA: Welcome to Canada
