This one's for Mark!

Brrrrr.....  This weekend was just a little bit chilly but the kicker was the ridiculous gusts of wind that accompanied it.  As I was feeling a little sad that my first week back at work was a little less than stellar as far as work outs went I REALLY didn't want to miss another workout.  But I was coming up with every excuse you could think of, I shouldn't take the little guy out in this wind, I'm really busy getting stuff done around the house and tomorrow we're having guests, I'm tired, blah, blah, blah.  Then when hubs got home from an errand we both said to each other "We're going for that run!"  He had seen what he thought was one of our friends running in this weather and was motivated and I heard from another one of our friends that a mutual running buddy of ours was going through some pretty intense physical therapy.  So we got out there and did 3 miles in the windy chill and we were so happy we did it!  We may have looked a little silly and sealed our fate as the crazy ones on the block but as the dog chased leaves, the little guy took a nap snugly protected in his covered stroller, and hubs and I took turns pushing the stroller I had the biggest smile hidden under my face mask!!





Mark you are an awesome running buddy and we have had some really fun runs together, beer run, midnight relay, long marathon training runs, and I know you will be back at it soon!  You are one tough guy and relentless I have faith that you will have a SUPER Speedy recovery!  You are in our thoughts and even though you don't live in this lovely city with us anymore we still think about you and can't wait to see you on DM again!

wow, yea I hide on the treadmill when the weather turns like this. But that's what I get for living in the south, we don't get much winter.
