Congratulations! Good thing you were running to stay warm! Only 2 more to go to that big 100! Such an awesome achievement!!! We are having snow/ice here today. :-( Probably just enough to kill some of the flowers trying to come through the ground. Spring can't come fast enough! Happy to read the run went well. You will reach your 100 about the second week in April?

Hope your parkrun goes ok (98 is that?) - I'm afraid it looks too horrible for me to be tempted tomorrow. Wuss that I am! It will be seriously muddy and cold I think. Not even pretty, as the snow isn't settling here.

I know! That wind is biting!!! :O Me, I just love the hot weather and sometimes wonder if I was actually born in the wrong country....I will never complain about it but then again I wasn't running in it last year, having started at the end of August plus the summer last year was just rubbish! :( It would be nice to at least get an idea of what it may feel like though.......
