No more excuses

I ran 8 miles yesterday. Some say it was cold. I even wore running pants yesterday for only the second time this year. It wasn't that bad, though.

During the run, the knee hurt a little. Not a lot. But every now and then I knew it was there. It kept me from pushing past the 8 mile mark. But I was OK with that.

The good news of the day came after the run when I was able to move around pain-free. This is the first time I can say that in over a month. So that is good.

And bad.

The icy trais and those injuries were the only reason that I haven't been running outside in the cold.

But no more.

The trails are cleared,I feel good, and the cold and I are about to become real good friends.
