Good job on the runs ladies!

Don't worry about your legs Tri Girl, they've taken you through the IM, they'll take you through that half-marathon. Just be nice to them though... They work hard!!!!

Yes, Yellow, they're definitely "Sunset houses"!!!! Some of them are nice, others are just obscene and kitch. Most you can't really see because they have such high hedges!!

Running in the cold is indeed great, as long as it's below freezing (otherwise there's too much water on the roads and I get miserable). I generally overdress slightly but with wool and I don't stop so I don't mind getting wet. I love the toasty feeling when I start and never really get chilly. I make the mistake of putting on a jacket over a wool layer, instead of, say, two wool layers. The jackets don't breathe enough. I just can't get out of my mind the idea that if I'm going outside I should wear a jacket!!!
