Changing of the Seasons

The winter of 2011-2012 was unusually warm for Wisconsin.  Other than a day or two of iced over roads, the weather rarely if ever kept me from running outside.  As it warmed up in the spring, I was more and more encouraged to get out there and do my long training runs.

As we now draw closer to the winter again and the weather gets colder and the days shorter, I find myself more and more reluctant to run outside.  I'm remembering the same kinds of weather back in March and the excitement I felt at running outside in high 40s.  Now it feels too cold and I resort instead to the treadmill at the gym to get my distances in.

I should get my butt outside.
