I always thought "Jason" was majestic. Never been mistaken for a fairy though... Sad

Guess I have to find another way to keep the summer sun off in a couple of months... Undecided

Sorry, Zoomy, I guess you're going to have to kick me. Unless NOT running today doesn't count. I ran 10 on Monday (6 of that was hard on the track) and 12 last night, both in the wind, rain, and 40* temp. I'm taking the day off. I'll be out doin' it again tomorrow, then either Friday or Saturday. I hope I have not shamed myself in your eyes. Tongue

I ran 18 miles today and I do not live in the midwest. I am willing to loan some of my miles out to anyone wishing to avoid needless asskicking.

So you took an easy day. What's your excuse?

Ha just like Buckaroo Banzai entering into the 5th Dimension! Extra points for anyone who knows what I'm talking about Big grin

On a more serious note, I always look to the midwesterners for motivation whenever I am getting wimpy with our weather conditions here in No. California. I have to hand it to you all for getting out there and running in snow, sleet, sub-zero temps. Tongue

You truly inspire me with your fortitude Now go out and get some Vitamin D the natural way!

Felt great to get out there with shorts and t-shirt in Wisconsin. Man, I miss the sun! Fly out to warm Austin today and I look forward to a couple days running there and hope to do a 5K race downtown at University of Texas on Sat. if weather holds.

Heh, I already have sock lines from a few runs in shorter tights. Soon I will have sock lines and mid-thigh lines, plus the weird lines on my back from my favorite sports bra and racer-back tank.

I hope so--great timing! Big grin

Will you be on the other side of the state? I wish I weren't way over here on the West side. I'd love to meet up with you/ Smile
