Will and I were out doing errands and someone commented on the good weather.  My husband came home from classes and commented on the beautiful day.  It was a nice day.  Sunny.  Not much wind.  But, I did check the temperature when my husband got home--it was 13! and the wind chill was 6 degrees.  Aren't Iowans crazy!  It's a wonderful day when the high is 14. 

Will and I were back at the indoor track again this morning.  The warm up mile and cool down mile seemed to take longer than the other three.  The strides went well.  I would tell Will how long it would be until we'd run fast again.  Just before we started, I'd say, "On your mark. Get set."  And Will would say, "Go!"  During the last two laps, we sang "Itsy-Bitsy-Spider," "Once there was a Snowman," "I'm a little Tea Pot," and "The Wheels on the Bus."

My lap counters were raisins today.
