You know you're dedicated to running when you head out the door for GTS (general training session) when the thermometer reads 22 degrees. Yes, I know, spring weather to my friends above the Mason-Dixon line, but that's pretty cold around these parts. Especially for someone like me, who needs a sweater when the temp dips below 75!
For some reason--and maybe I'm discovering that fall is my season, or because I'm grateful I'm in a much better place in my life than I was last fall--I'm embracing the cold. Granted, I'd prefer it to be a bit warmer than 22 degrees, but I managed to get my lazy butt out of the cold bed and make the trek up to Big Peach.
I'm so proud of my team, since pretty much all of them did likewise. I was so impressed, I picked up $5 Starbucks gift cards (thanks, Starbucks!) for my Country Music Marathon posse. It had warmed to about 30 degrees by the time we started out--Jaclyn and I ran in our matching Nike jackets (pic to follow), and I did a quick two miles so I could get ready for Carolyn's baby shower. I can't believe Hansen bebe number four will be here in just a few weeks! It seems like yesterday I found out she was pregnant.
And Carolyn, being the resilient, dedicated woman that she is--has expressed an interest in running Nashville with us--hooray for the Alaska team!
