I was in Mexico from Thursday to Monday. Ran twice while I was there. Friday was my 40th birthday, and it just felt so *right* to get up and go for an hour long run first thing in the morning, before the sun was fully up. I've struggled a bit with this particular milestone birthday, so going for a run and reminding myself that I'm a young and fit 40 was the way to go. Plus, you can't help but feel attractive when you run in Mexico. Any car with men in it beeped the horn. Men waved or whistled. Sure, they do that to any woman, but hey. There are worse things than having someone whistle at you on your 40th.

Ran again Sunday and enjoyed being in such a warm climate.

My first run back this week was a bit of a shocker. It was 36 degrees and very damp. Fleece hat, gloves, long tights, wool top, a jacket.... Sheesh. Send me back to Mexico, please??!!

Heading out for another run in a few minutes. It's "warm" this morning. 54 degrees!
