Wow, Grog- you're braver than I. I ran in 25 degrees with wind chill in the teens and I was proud of that- you're super studly up there!

We ran this morning for 8 miles. I'm running a half mary next weekend (Dallas White Rock), so this was the last *long* run before the race. I have no time goal in mind- just want to run it and have fun. Since the IM I've got no legs for running and I can't find my stride anymore. Hopefully, in time, it will come back to me. For now running is slow and tough.

We ran at our local lake (which is so low, it can hardly be called a lake anymore- more like a pond). We ran down on the lake bed that's dry and did some "beach" running. Got some strange looks, but when will I ever be able to say I ran at the bottom of the lake again? Still snow-packed (I agree hard snow is tougher than concrete to run on), but nice and still. Only saw a few other hard-core runners out. We're crazy not to run on a nice day like today. Sun shining, snow melting, peaceful morning.

Have a great running week, ladies!
