on running

yesterday was, by far, the coldest run of my life. it's really just plain cold. not much more i can describe. i've run in some cold weather before. i'm recalling a 5k four years ago (kris?) where it was sleeting with cold rain. a wintry mix, if you will. the only thing i had to keep me going yesterday was getting to run before it was dark! amazing how just a few seconds of daylight every day can really make a difference in the days getting longer. always amazes me that i train in the winter for a race in the spring.

oh, and a new pair of shoes.

though when i bought them, i was told that my left foot is a good size smaller than my right. then i was told that i couldn't buy 2 different sizes. why tell someone that?! so now when i run, i can just tell there's something wrong. i just know it. just not right.

with all that said, i'm anxious to run, for the first time, in snow on thursday afternoon.
