snow

I had a great run today.  Planning to run four miles, I was feeling the pace, the mix on my iPod, and my overall state-of-mind and I went for 4 1/2.  I think I could've gone five today!

It was hovering around 32 degrees - it lightly semi-snowed/rained the whole time - but my awesome running gear kept me warm, and so did my sustained, elevated heart beat [kind of the definition of exerciese....]  I'm so pumped up - this is one of the first times I've truly believed I can do this.  If I just keep up with my training schedule, those 13.1 miles will be conquerable!

It's kind of cool, though.  A year ago, if I was driving around on a cold, semi-snowy Sunday afternoon and I saw someone running, and would've thought, "That person is crazy.  They should be inside drinking hot chocolate."  But today, I was one of those crazy people!  People can change for the better, I believe.  This will make me better.
