If any of you people even think of not running outdoors today I will personally hunt you down and kick your ass(es)! Big grin

65, full sun, light breeze...ahhh...THIS is why we endure Winter--so that we can appreciate spring days like this. I'm sure I blinded some motorists with my pasty Nordic skin, but I don't care...man, it feels good to be bare armed and legged after so many months of layers. Sure is nice to not have so much to wash, too! Smile

Doublin' up, yo.

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>

No kidding? I wonder if the nice weather is just slow to make it your way. Yesterday was still pretty yucky here...mostly just cool and dreary.

Holding down the fort with 61F and not a cloud in the sky in Little Rock (nice lunchtime run today). I'm worried about the upcoming 100F weather though. Just a couple months away?

I did 6.5 miles at 5:30-6:30 this mornin'. It was 45 degrees and I had a moderate breeze to deal with but all things considered that was right fine runnin' weather. (location: southeast Wisconsin)

Stare at your cubicle wall, think about how nice it is outside and dream of having one of those perfect runs... that might help you make the day go by longer! Big grin

It is supposed to be coming that way soon (Friday and Saturday are supposed to be beautiful). I get to fly out there, enjoy it, and then catch back up to it on the east coast. Big grin
