Didn't much feel like going out today but considered the alternative (dreadmill) and got dressed to go out. It was around 30 degrees and lightly snowing throughout the run. I got warm fast and again peeled off an extra layer. Felt pretty slugish, I think that the night shift, sick kid sleeping with me in the day stuff is catching up, so I decided to relax and take it slow. It was really quite a pleasant run in that kids were out playing in the snow all over and with the light snow fall and snow on the ground it was really pretty out. Most of the streets had melted off pretty well, but at times I was still in the "splash zone"! Most of the time not too bad though! I actually was excitted to get home and finish off the driveway that my husband did not get to before he went to work, so I looked at that as my reward for enduring too the end on a tired day! Watched one guy getting pulled out of an embankment that he pulled into to load his 4-wheeler and couldn't get out. After he was succesfully towed out he drove passed me slowly and gave a few obnoxious cat calls. I was too focused on the run to call back anything appropraitely intelligent, but I can think of a few good come backs now! O-well, probably not woth the extra effort!!!

Way to get out there today!! Your doing such a great job! Paula and I only get cat calls when our friend Tami runs with us - Take it as a complement!

Michelle,

Maybe the cat calls came from peeling off too many extra layers! :)

Tom and I aren't going to be able to make it to the blog party the night before Painter's. We'll have to hook up some way so we know how to meet the morning of the race. Just know that if I can't keep up with you please just go for your best! I don't want to be slowing anyone down. Hopefully we will be close to each other's level, but it's hard to know since we have never ran together. I wonder if anyone else will be joining us.

He probably thought you were hot stuff! As obnoxious as cat calls are, and no matter what the intentions really are, I take them as meaning that I am a TOTAL HOTTIE! Ha! I'm delusional, I know...It makes it more fun, though!

Oh please Shauna, you are totally cute! Of course they are saying that, you too Michelle! And good job getting out!

I agree Michelle- you're a hottie! Let it go to your head (but be a little offended at the same time) That's what I do- LOL! However, I'm WAY over due on any cat calls...hum...Anyway- sounds like a beautiful run w/ the light snow fall. Make the best of today!!! (and hey- maybe 'cause its early in the morning and I'm feeling fresh- but today the 1/2 sounds kinda appealing. I'll let you know tomorrow! I know I'm annoyingly (word?) indecisive!)

OK- knowing that you're trying to get out today too will help motivate me! My goal is to run for 1.5 hr. today. I have to get out the door no later than 2pm. There- I just made that goal, but I'm sticking to it! You'll have to razz me if it doesn't happen. YOU have a fabulous run today- I know you will!!
