Ask And Ye Shall Receive...

Woo-hoo! Cold(er) weather is here!

I'm inside all day. I don't even have a window, so usually the weather passes me by. Today, however, I knew that the temperature was dropping and my students confirmed it over and over: they kept claiming it was freezing outside! I believed them, forgetting that my "cold" and their "cold" are different.

So I took a step outside... and the weather is near perfect. Is it freezing? Not at all. But the wind was blowing and the temperature did drop. And by God, it's finally perfect to go for a 6 mile run at 4pm. So I did that.

Distance: 6 miles
Average pace: 13:32. Again, slowly dropping. Slowly.

The run was quite good, although the wind gusts almost knocked me over a couple of times. I felt alive, however, and really didn't want to stop at 6. I hope the weather is this good tomorrow so that I can get in 4.

After my run, I went to my Weight Watchers meeting. After two years of whining about my weight and not trying hard enough, I am finally back on the weight loss trail. Since moving to Clear Lake, I've dropped 18 pounds! Slowly, my cute clothes are fitting again. 7 more pound until they should all fit, 14 more pounds until I was at my lowest (5 years ago).

The weather is good, I'm running again, and I'm dropping pounds. Life is quite good right now.

Cheers!
