Windy and cold this morning. Almost considered going back to bed and then said to myself, what is Andy doing right now. Well knowing that Andy was probably out freezing to death in the wind and snow I decided I could hack it. My new mantra is WWAD (what would Andy do?) So I survived, but only barely..... I'm ready for March to go out like a lamb any day now so we can enjoy running in the calm cool air for a couple more months before it gets really hot. Still running solo and still waiting to get approval from the insurance on Megan's surgury. I think will probably happen on Thursday of next week, right before spring break. I know this is anxious to get going so she can get healed up in time for some of our upcoming races.

Good thing you use Andy in your mantra. I was in bed.

I love the new montra, cause you know Andy is out there pounding the pavement every day. There was no wind here this morning, but my fingers were frozen by the time I got home even though it was 51 degrees out.

I'm not sure if I should be honored or offended. For what it is worth, the weather this morning was actually nice. It was 30 degrees with no wind. Hopefully everything works out with Meg's surgery. That is the reason why I haven't taken up tri's yet. Biking is too dangerous.

I can't cry too loudly because I think the temp was around 47 but the wind made it nasty. Andy, no offense intended at all. It was just one of those morning where I needed a little extra motivation and thought of you out there in a blizzard. Rhett, my fingers were frozen too. The winter stuff is put away and I ain't diggin it out again!

It was in the high 30's with wind here this morning. Glad we got'er done. My head is hurting from the wind still. Hope all goes well with Meg's surgery. You'll have to run extra for her.
