I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me repeat, I am so excited! (insert cabbage pach dance here)
Today I was worried about not having a run option at Seal Team tomorrow and, well, let's face it the conditions haven't been in running lover's favor lately (no thanks to Mean Mr. Snow)!
SO....I decided to form a united front, stand my ground and plan an early morning run with two of my fav running girls and - well just plan to do it NO MATTER WHAT!
That's right, you heard me Mr. Snow - we are forming an team of powerful running girls to stand up to you!I took my lunch break today, mapped the run and emailed the troop leader Judy and had her alert the soldiers.
My house, 5:45am, like the postal service - rain or sleet or snow - we WILL run!
I compromised a tiny bit and routed us through subdivisions, just because there is really no clear shoulder on the main roads, again due to Mr. Snow and I don't feel the need to dodge a car in the dark...(Mom, don't freak out please).
The map and route were set, the troops are in and we were set!
I met Lady Em for Cycling class after work for a nice butt-whipping lead by my Dad!
Then, determined to ensure perfection in the am, I drove the run route on the way home...
Awesome! Dry road? Really? Has Mr. Snow taken a break?
Other than 2 small areas (on hills of course) all clear of ice. Fantastic.
Went home, called troop leader Judy and informed her of the wonderful news.
Barring any disruptions overnight, we, the united HCB's will set out in the am on a lovely run thru the 'Ville, per usual...laughing, talking, running - my 3 favorite things!
Life is good.
Run safe, run happy!

How do you get up that early to run? It kills me to do it once a week, I can't imagine doing it mid-week too. I'm such a late morning/afternoon runner!
ReplyDeleteoh, and my mom and sister bought me the recovery socks for my b-day ... fuschia AND lime. So I didn't have to choose!
