We headed out today in the wind. Our first mile was uphill in the wind, enough to make us both question if we should do this. Once we got out and going east/west it was not as bad. Paula was not feeling well so her husband came and picked her up at mile 6. I finished running the 2.2 home and then added on enough on the treadmill to equal 10 miles.

I am so tired of complaining about the weather but it just is not getting any better. Please on behalf of all runners - No more wind, rain, snow or ice.

Happy Running!

Good job. Sorry for the drop out but monday I will be back at 100%. Hopefully. You had a great pace.

Great job! And I think you are one tough cookie to run in the snow, wind, and ice! I feel like a wimp when I complain about 40 degrees!

I totally agree about the weather... I think we should ring in the new year with an early spring!!! (spring without wind too, that is terrible in the spring here!) But you always seem to push through and it doesn't slow you down or stop you, Great Job!!! Enjoy your day off tomorrow!!!

Complain all you want, cuz just wait come july-sept it will be us southerners complaining about how HOT it is at 5am! Nice job on your run today, and you are absolutely AMAZING!

Jody, I am with you on the weather, how about a few good days? Positive side, this rotten weather will make us tougher, right?

Nice run! Nice pace--especially given Mother Nature's efforts to slow you down!
