warm thoughts

It's zero degrees... -30 below windchill... I hate winter!

Not only is it cold and miserable outside, and just walking to your car has a serious risk of frostbite, but running on a treadmill is nothing like running outside. There's nothing interesting to look at, there's no communing with nature.

But soon, when spring comes, I'll be ale to ...

- Run with the puppies outside
- Run short on the shady-tree trail
- Run long on the rolling-hills trail
- Run circles around the water hole park
- Run along the Mississippi
- Run on new trails and in new parks I haven't tried yet

And ...

- Swim in the lake with the puppies
- Go to the farmer's market
- Grill outside
- Bike around town
- Lay out in the sun (with loads of sunscreen)
- Feel warm again
