OK Mom, Awesome Running Pants

Hello, Everyone!  So if you don't live in Wisconsin, we have had some AMAZING weather this week. I'm pretty sure my car told me it was 66 degrees at one point AND I was outside running in a tank top. Yeah! 66 in February and a tank top!  Welcome to Wisconsin! While part of me felt bad for my weird, sadistic friends who enjoy snow and cold weather, I also feel like maybe someone upstairs was listening to all my whining about, "It's cold....blah, blah..." and decided to do me a kindness..or shut me up for bit. Either way, I took it and literally RAN with it.   It was a GREAT week to get out and get in those training miles; be it for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, another event coming up, or just because you wanted to feel the sun on your face.

So I'll just put a well-placed meme in here and we can move on.  My rant on winter is actually very well timed as I make my way outdoors this weekend to the Seroogy's Valentine 15k/5k Run Walk in De Pere, WI on Saturday. Left to right - My hubby Ross, me, and Uncle Jan  at a Seroogy's Valentine Run in 2011. My shirt says "Future Heartbreaker" as JD was in my belly. :)  Me at the Seroogy's in 2000 and something... Who cares, it was cold.. :)  Here's the link to their Facebook page in case you are interest in joining me: https://www.facebook.com/events/464541937087631 While it's cold (as in on...
