its a beautiful day in the neighborhood

I asked myself the following questions this morning at 7:00am:

1) Do I go to run club at 8:30?
2) Should I just run here?
3) Can I just go back to sleep?

After reading Jeff's blog this morning, I decided to bite the bullet and run in my neighborhood. My Dad always bugs me that I drive places to go running, and sometimes I think he might have a point!

I decided to bring you all along with me today, so you could see my 'hood.

This is what the thermometer on my back door told me before I left


Odd thing is, I didn't realize until I uploaded it that it said -2.0, not -20... hence why I dress like this.
This is my humble abode.

This happens a lot when we run... she enjoys rolling in the snow a little tooooo much!
One of the main streets near my house. Lotsa snow eh?

My subdivision

Another main'ish street outside of my subdivision.
Almost home. This is the park beside my house. My house is the first one on the left. My bestest training buddy ever. She never lets me down!

My post run/sweaty shot.

What I learned today:
1) It was enjoyable to run sans a big group of people. I hate it when running has rules.
2) I missed having a group of people to distract me from the fact that I am running.
3) Put on my glasses before I look at the thermometer. I was waaaaay overdressed.
4) My dog is pretty awesome.
5) I live in rural suburbia and that my pictures do NOT do it justice. Its not as bad as it looks.

Have a great Sunday everyone!

I am hoping to be able to take my dog running with me when I progress to running outside. However I'll have the same problem you do with Jersey...Max's is forever rubbing his nose in the snow...especially with his gentle leader on!

Great post. I keep saying I will bring my camera along for a run and forget everytime.
We had the same kind of weather on Sunday and I changed outfits a bunch of times...I still overdressed (as usual)

Sara said...

Good for you for running!!! Thanks for taking us along!

Jeff said...

Glad I could help to get you out on a run!

From the looks of it, all of your snow is gone round about June, huh.
