Day 4,313—is Winter Over?—

 

I was checking the weather forecast for the next ten days, and it made me hopeful to see so many warm days ahead. I loved the snow for the first few days, but after that, it was more of a nuisance, preventing me from running in more diverse places. Last week, I did the miles that I think should always be within reach. Next weekend will be different, but I am already forming a plan to run a longer day on Sunday. I am just happy I felt good this morning and even got up a little earlier. I was tempted to run more; I wish I had more time in the morning to do a six- or seven-mile run, so I tried starting a habit of getting up earlier. It would be nice if I were awake by 3:30 most mornings. I am still trying to decide which race to start with over the summer. Do I really want to start with a 14 hour drive?
