Back in October 2014, I registered for the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, SC. Who knew that 6 months later I still wouldn't be working. The run was scheduled for March 28,2015. Some time in February I made the official determination we weren't going to be making the trip to Charleston, for a number of reasons. That decision being made, I didn't keep up with my running. Winter has been bitterly cold and harsh this year.
Sometime during the first week and a half of March it was decided we WERE making the trip to SC. Guess who needed to start running??? Yep, THIS GIRL!!! I had gotten a couple shorter walks and/or runs in, but because of bitter temperatures and LOTS of snow, I hadn't kept up with it. We were SLOWLY starting to thaw and this was allowing for more time outside. Great timing since March 28th and 6.2 miles were fast approaching!
The following photos were taken roughly a week before the first day of spring. My first choices for running were still snow covered. That was ok, because this route offers some great views of the Allegheny River. It was a great run! Hearing birds and the water and feeling the sun was good for my soul.

I spy...a canoe.

I found this kind of cool.
The ice was melting. Air bubbles could be seen. The water was so clear right here.

Check out the ice.

A look at my shoe.
I don't know why, just because!
It sure felt good to be out and about. It was great knowing I could still run a non-stop mile.
I lost a little speed over the winter, but I wasn't fast before so I guess it doesn't really matter.
What matters is I am still more active than I was just one year ago!!!
Just get up and do it!!!
Hugs from my small town to wherever you may roam!
