It finally stopped raining and warmed up a bit, just in time for me to avoid a complete meltdown. People who live in the southeast have this unspoken agreement with Mother Nature. We will tolerate the nearly 9 months of hellish punishment called summer, take our four weeks of spring and summer, and in exchange, other than for a few days in January and February, she leaves us the eff alone when it comes to winter! Well, this year Momma has gone plum-crazy, and not in the charming way where she sends some random ass Christmas like trivets (thanks mom!), no our dear Mother Nature has gone all shooting at the neighbor's kids with an air rifle crazy! Snow in December . . . Twice . . . a whole week where the high is 34 degrees . . . WTF are you thinkin' Lady?
Anyway, before I get into full on rant mode . . . it finally got into the mid 30's so I decided that I need to go for a run. I didn't want to stray too far from my house because I needed to leave Hiroko with the car, so I decided to run the Greenway like I had last Sunday, when God tried to drown me. This time I made sure that the wasn't a cloud in the sky before I left the house. Last time I ran the 5.36 miles in 53:53 and this time I did the same course in 52.39. The run went well, but I was really pushing over the last mile, so that I could do better than my run the week before. By the end of the run, I was spent. I really enjoyed it however, and like that with Old Bob, I can track my courses pretty easily.
