And now the sun is trying to peek through...welcome to MI. Confused

Yeah what's up with that! Hello to all you fellow michiganders. I'm from up north and the snow is almost gone. Crazy weather, but I wont complain, running on the second, and less so the third was nasty! Enjoy it while it lasts.

BTW, seeing as how I've got the MI folks' attention...come check out the new Michiganders user group. One of my favorite things about the new CR folks joining us is all the runners from MI that have shown up. It's so awesome to find so many runners right under my nose. I look forward to new running and racing buddies! Smile

Ha, cross post! Ooh, I'd come babysit, but I have a brand new pair of shoes that JUST came to the door and I'm also hoping ot hit the trail. That wind stinks, though. Seems we can't have it all...we can have still air, but pouring rain and lightning--OR we can have wind, but no rain. Ah, well...at least it's not cold, now. Big grin

Just kidding, silly! I might have to duct tape a flashlight to my head and go tonight. Good luck with the shoes. Neutral, right?

Thanks for the invite... just did. I'm new to RA, former CR. I've just started posting (on my log) again since October and was sick to find out about the CR site. Nice to see new faces (and many familiar). Thanks for the hospitality. mm

Yep...I figured for $70 it was worth trying a neutral shoe. If they don't work I can always wear them for kickin-around. And if I find a job at some place that doesn't require dressy footwear I'd have the 755s and 767s to wear for work. k

I really feel for you CR folks. At first it was overwhelming to have so many new members, but I'd be a mess if anything happened to RA. I can only imagine how stressful and upsetting the demise of CR was. k

I'm from Ohio. It's very warm here today also. We're suppose to be going up to Shanty Creek in Michigan to ski in about 2 weeks. I sure hope this warm weather doesn't wash all the snow off the hill!

Would rather not have the <0 temps either :p but you're right it's just like it is here, if you don't like the weather just wait a day it'll change. temps="" either="" :p="" but="" you're="" right="" it's="" just="" like="" it="" is="" here,="" if="" you="" don't="" like="" the="" weather="" just="" wait="" a="" day="" it'll="" change.=""></0 temps either :p but you're right it's just like it is here, if you don't like the weather just wait a day it'll change. >

scuba, I guarantee plenty of snow at Shanty by then. They are really good at making it and it sounds like all is back to normal this weekend. Hope you have a good time!

Awesome and... kinda stinky I would guess, especially post-run. Tongue

Modified to add: Welcome Michael, nice to smell you here... errr... have you here. Big grin
