Uphill both ways in a snow storm

 Confession:
I thought I was strong enough to bake cookies and rolls for a neighbor on Friday. WRONG. After they sat on the counter cooling for an hour, I broke down and ate 4 pumpkin cookies and enough rolls to make me SICK. Shameful. But I assure you, I will not be so stupid again.("No [baked goods] for you!") I certainly won't be surprised if I actually gain this week. Meh.

Punishment for the crime:
I figured I'd better run rain or shine on Saturday to make up for about a thousand calories I O.D.ed on. Unfortunately it was neither rain OR shine but a full blown icy snow storm. I was feeling pretty dang hardcore around mile 3 and 4 when the wind/snow was blowing so hard it started tripping my feet and blowing off my beanie, not to mention only being able to see a few inches in front of me. That may have been the first time I've run several miles with my head down and eyes actually closed! But thanks to you all, there is no way I would have finished 5 miles on a day like today. No. Way. Period. And you know what, I actually felt pretty good, go figure!

I had some pretty sweet hives to show for it too.
Yep. I'm pretty much loving this competition. Thanks guys!

Guess how many times I used the word "pretty." 3 POINTS
