As we ran into the wind today I had a new thought regarding our winter weather.   I wonder if it is like a church calling, it is not going away until we learn to love.  So with that in mind I tried really hard today to "love" the wind.   I did not love it, but we had a good run.  We pushed hard with about 2 total miles into the wind and the rest in a cross wind.  It was good to be back outside and not so good almost being hit by a car.  I guess being in a cross walk with the right away is not enough for some people.  Hope you all have a good day!

 Happy Running!

Look at your great attitude toward that wind! Love it. What's up w/ these lame drivers anyway? Do you think they are jealous that we are out running and they know they could/ should be too or what?

Good job and great attitude about the wind. Matt and the boys had a good time last night. Sorry I missed it. I'll call you later.

It's easier to love the wind when it is at your back. When I run into the wind I think about how much I am going to love it when I turn around.
