What I Learned This Morning

So I didn't run yesterday and I was all ready to run today, pumped up, long run... YAAAYYY!!!   Then I opened the window....


SNOW?!?!?!    


So on my "run" today I learned some things:


1. No matter how cool I think I may look running in the snow (oh yeah, I just know people are thinking "wow! such determination", not "what an idiot!") I'm terrified!  I'm pretty sure with every step that I'm going to fall on my ass and it will be in front of a group of high school boys, and the world will laugh.  


2. I don't like HS boys... They do stupid things like spin the tires as you run by and scare the living daylights outta me.  And they smell.


3. How much I hate snow.  I really, really, really do. I hate it.


4. No matter how much I hate snow... I still think it is beautiful.  Not where I live, in pictures and on mountains.

So now that I'm done being a debby downer, my run wasn't long, and I did stop at my local Starbucks for my coffee (which always makes me happy), but I feel good for getting out.


I've also found a few girly half marathons this year that I am going to register for as soon as I convince my baby sister to do them with me.  I'm pretty stoked for that!  I even pulled out my old half technical shirt to wear running (I've kept it hidden out of shame from not keeping-up my runningness.  I didn't want it to judge me).


So that's all for today.  If anyone has any tips for running in the snow, or really any running tips at all, please share.  I'm always up for running ideas.
