So in case you are unaware in the Midwest during the months of January and February its bitterly cold outside, and not just cold but windy too. Basically crappy weather for running outdoors which has limited me to running on a treadmill recently which is ok for a couple miles but trying to do 4, 5 or 6+ miles on a treadmill is truly monotonous. I was in Tulsa last week and was really looking forward to the opportunity of getting some miles logged outside for a change. But just my luck it was unseasonably cold and windy, as if the lovely weather of Iowa and Illinois boarded the plane with me and made the journey south. Fortunately one evening after a long day of meetings the sun was still bright and the air though still cool was warm enough for an outdoors run. The resort we stay at for these meetings is very secluded out in a wooded area so I was able to enjoy the scenery and get my running fix, even scared a few deer in the process. Granted I'm now back home and jonesing again to run outside, man I can't wait for it to get warmer so I can run outside everyday again. Got to start logging some serious miles again, hopefully running a half marathon on May 9th, running really is addictive!
