Awesome pics, Yellow- although I'm getting chilly just looking at them. Beautiful pup, too!!!

So far I've only run twice this week: two 3 milers. Tomorrow will be 18 (hopefully).

And I'm sooooo glad that the weather is warming up, although with it is coming the wind- today sustained winds of 30-40 mph (with measly 50-60 mph gusts). That's why I'm planning my long run for tomorrow- only 15-25 mph sustained winds predicted.

Snow sure is pretty, but I'm so glad it's gone away (double crossing fingers and toes) for the winter...

Happy running, ladies!!!

Yellow... what beautiful scenery and pup! Oh, and there is no way in HECK I would be running outdoors. You are too hardcore for me.


I ran 3 miles in 34 minutes on a treadmill today. This was after a 1 hour spin class.

The run was slow and I had to work on side cramps the whole time. Deep breathing alone didn't help. I had to keep running hunched over- it was so sad.

I am in Dallas... and OMG! The WIND! It's crazy.

Between the threat of rain and that wind... I took my workout inside today.

KSH, cold is...what you aren't used to! I'm sure if you lived somewhere colder you'd adapt. But you don't need to where you live now! I just LOVE running when it's in the teens to the 30s, and prefer running on snow to just about any other surface. I'm afraid that when it warms up to your temps I'll have a complete meltdown (physical and mental). We shall see.

I'm actually NOT looking forward to the end of snow for running purposes. Thankfully we're supposed to get a couple more storms this week.

Got 18 miles this week, two easy runs and one day of hill run on the trail.
Keep running!

Did 6.6mi run LSD this morning. Sunny out and warm but 20mph wind. KSH and TriGirl - those winds you gals are having make me glad I'm not in Oklahoma right now! I don't think I could handle it.

Yellow - boy that looks beautiful out there. Hard to run in, but gorgeous. And you're right about adapting - sometimes I feel so soft in regards to the weather I'll workout in compared to when I was in OK. People change!
