So guys - I’m here in NC visiting the family. I know it’s a little wrong, but one of the reasons I was so excited about this trip was that I’d get to run outside in decent weather. It’s been such a long MN winter and every year in Feb I start to despair that it will ever end. Unlike Lumpy and Sally, I prefer to run in shorts and a tank in 60 degree weather with a stiff breeze.
Well, I woke up to freezing rain this morning. Not quite what I expected when I packed nothing but shorts and tees. But the rain stopped and it warmed to 39 degrees. We drove out to the reservoir and I ran a couple of loops while Mother #1 walked the doggies. That’s right, I ran on a trail! But a well travelled, remarkably tree root free trail. It hurt and I’m VERY out of shape but it was WONDERFUL. I plan to go again tomorrow. And probably the next day too.
Guys, it feels so good to be running again. So good. So, so good. C’mon MN spring… Whee!!
