10am - Met Jordanne for a lovely 28-degree run at BPA trail.  I was way prepared with clothing and after 2 miles we stopped at the bathroom and I left my sweats (on top of my tights), my under armour long sleeve (just kept on my sweet Gatorade jacket Leandrea gave me), my hat, and gloves behind.  Beautiful blue sky and mountain views, difficult BPA hills, overall a great run.  I felt good again!  I LOVE RUNNING!  Don't worry, I'll try not to get carried away...

You missed a great race today! Are you going to do the resolution series this year? runfsrc.com

Was it sweet Gatorade or was the jacket sweet? ;)

The jacket is SWEET! She won it and it was too big for her so she kindly gave it to me, I'm in love.

Rattletrap - I would like to, but we're never here on the 1st and the last one is on my nephew's birthday, which is unfortunate because I'd love to do the series. I did the 15k one time a few years ago, I'll probably have to just maybe do the 10k and 15k this year.

Leandrea's a great friend. I wish I had a great friend like that. I wish I had a friend.

Burt - I'll share my gatorade with you but you can't have my jacket.

Ha! Thanks. Friend?
