Fair Weather Runners
2009 November 14
You can always tell when I’ve had a good run by looking at my legs. 
I had a fantastic run today! I had no idea I was covered in “road grime” until I was walking back home. Despite the fact that its “road grime” and not “trail dirt grime”, I love it. This is a tell tell sign that Central Park isn’t busy. I love fair weather runners! Central Park was a peaceful oasis. Not one egotistic manic tried to race me today (thank God!).
I really think this could be the beginning of my new running season. I’m just afraid to say that now, because I know that come February it will be a huge challenge to get out there for longer runs. Do any of you have any early spring or late winter races that you’re planning on training for?

I finally decided to give training 100% so I have a couple races lined up before the new year!
haha, yeah, must have been a good run! Very nice.
Evidence of a good run! Nope, no races planned for me… never done one!
Me, me, me! I have a May half marathon and I will need all the motivation to get out there for longer runs. I’m trying to plan motivation into my life now! I LOVE getting dirty on runs too.
I feel the same way about the gym come February when all of the people that made New Year’s resolutions drop out. I love an empty gym!
That must be such a great feeling, running in Central Park
I’m training for the Boston Marathon in April so I will definitely be out there in the cold and snow! I’ve never really run outside during the winter before, but this was mostly due to injury rather than anything else.. so it should be interesting to see how it goes!
