Is it spring yet?

I am really, really, really ready for this arctic blast to return to the arctic.  I live in Alabama and I expect my mild winters.  I deal with the 90+ degrees (in the mornings) in the summer so that I can have a nice mild winter with lows in the 30's and highs in the 50's.

This southern boy does not like 15-20 degrees outside with a wind chill even lower.

The old Needle reared his ugly head the past two weeks.  Only 5 runs during that time.  Plan is to get 5-6 runs per week and hope to actually get 4-5.  Just need to refocus and get the consistency back.

Giveaway link (you don't expect my cheap ass to give something away did you?)

It just looks like slow motion is hosting a giveaway for Yurbuds.  Click over and read her.  You really don't need to enter since that will just decrease my slim chance of winning.

Total Miles: 29

Needle and Dicks

Sporting Goods, that is.  I was really surprised to read Nitmos' post today about his return from vacation and the fact that I won the $100 gift card to Dicks.

I would like everyone to know that I am the person that NEVER wins drawings.  EVER.  Until this contest, my grand total for winnings is one (1) Mississippi State Baseball can holder that I won in 1994.  That basically sums it up.  I did win a knife about 6 years ago in a work drawing and only because they had enough stuff so that EVERYONE got something.

I am also taking this as a cosmic hint to get off my ass and do some more running.  I am modifying the FFBS plan, effective tomorrow.  The new FFBS plan is going to try to incorporate a form of STREAKING!  Yep, in order for me to do anything run related, I have to really simplify it.  So if the day ends in "y," I will get my butt up and run.  Now, I will not do anything too stupid, like run when I am hurt or it is pouring rain. 

Am I crazy?  Am i stoopid?  Possibly and yeah.
