finally a break!

If only for a day we were blessed with a break from the freezing temps. Finally the iceberg known as Chicago started to melt on Saturday thanks to the 50 degree temps. I was like a little kid excited for Saturday morning cartoons when I woke up and looked up the temps on weather.com. I couldn't wait to get outside to run! Through the huge puddles and mud that formed all along the lake path I made it through my 12 mile run. Although I never really found my groove I didn't really mind the long run. My poor toes were little shriveled piggies only 3 miles in but that didn't even damper my mood. I only wish the amazing temps could stay right on through February but I know - no such luck.

It was so nice having warmer weather, but now I just want it to stay.

We got a little break in Michigan as well. You can't help but feel like a little kid when you get a day to run outside.

Best of luck with everything, Jamie and congrats on the 12 miler.

I wish it would stay warm and not snow again for the rest of the year! Glad you got a run in - my toes are always cold when I run and it takes them forever to get warm!

Nice job! 12 miles is impressive.

I can't wait for spring! Glad you could get out there while the weather isn't so crappy. Good luck surviving the rest of winter. :)
