I just had to write a quick note on something I thought about during my run today. I was out doing my hill repeats when a man yelled out his window at me, "You're not supposed to be out here like this!". I wanted to yell back at him in defense, "I'm training for a half marathon!" but I just gave him a glance and kept on running. It got me thinking though. I got what he meant, "like this" meaning in the cold/snow/winter. For me though I never gave it a second thought. Yes it is cold, and I had to watch where I step for ice, but the sun was shining, and I was dressed warm, so I ran as I normally would. It all made me think of this quote that I've seen floating around.
Of course a nice spring day is the best, but all that matters is that I was out, gettin' it done. And I did, I conquered those hills today, and doing it in the cold and snow made it even better. I know maybe some people might get sick of me talking about running, might think I'm crazy or obsessed, but I don't think I need to defend why I'm out there......beats sitting around on the couch :)
aaaaaand off soapbox!
