I think running in the cold is a good challenge, just like running in the heat is, you know? Builds you up, makes you mentally stronger! :)<br /><br />And that is so cool that you placed in your AG! (and super cool you didn't need to use a non-existent bathroom in the last few miles, lol)<br /><br />I wonder if that guy was purposefully trying to stay in front of you or just totally not paying attention to what was going on! LOL. Thanks for helping with blocking the wind, buddy! :)<br /><br />I am with you on keeping most goals quiet. The more I broadcast them, the less I am in to them. Makes me lose interest!
