1. I am sick of this cold weather. It’s sad when 20 degrees feels like a heat wave.
I will run outside in the winter but below zero, I draw the line.
As a result, there has been very little running since the weekend. (It was -11 when I left for work on Tuesday.)
I’ve had enough. Elsa, “Stop!!!!”
Just a side note…
no surprise that this February is the coldest
2012 was the winter that I broke my ankle and could not run!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. I am at the age where more of my friends are retired than not.
just 2 of us here are not
just 3 of us here are not
Guess where they spend the winter?
Florida!
Guess where I want to be?
Florida!
January 19, 2015 =Heaven!

I agree! I love winter but my patience is wearing thin with this one. I was contemplating a trail race next weekend. But we just got 6″ more snow with more in the forecast this weekend. Ugh. Florida? Yes please!

Hang in there! Spring will be here soon. The painted on flowers is so creative! I wish I could paint the sun somewhere…I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen it.

The painted flowers are awesome 🙂
You are rocking a great tan in your tennis picture- this ginger is having tan envy lol I stay pasty white year round.
I agree there has to be a limit when it comes to the cold – last winter 22 was about my threshold. I have barely run this winter, I hope that changes soon. I just got home and of course it has snowed again (big sigh)

I think most people are with you on winter. I got sick after swimming then going out in the cold last month. Then sick this month after 7 miles in the cold. Not sure there’s a cause & effect there but for now I’m treadmilling even tho it’s sooooo boring. Not sure about Sunday, tho, since it’ll be a longer run. I didn’t end up signing up for Runnin’ of the Green so I guess I’ll find out about the new course from you.
Lucky you getting to go somewhere warm twice in one winter!

I have been lucky (knock on wood). No illnesses this year. I’m doing a long one tomorrow, I think. Brrrrr. They still need volunteers for sunday, if you are interested.
Can’t wait to feel some warm sunshine. Let’s run again together when I get back.
