Today was one of those days that makes me forget about the five days of miserable weather we just had. After much poking and prodding by the dogs, I finally got up, let them eat and took them outside. I was amazed at how wonderfully warm it was, especially in the sun. They did their thing while I fed the other critters and I decided it was a good day for a run.
After a couple cups of coffee, some water and a bagel I headed to town to run the Coffee-O 5 mile route. I actually expected to have to walk at least some of this, but I did manage to run - jog, really - the entire route. My lungs were not happy and as I type this are still protesting a bit. My time was not off terribly, but certainly I lost a bit of my conditioning. It was well worth it and I am please that I got out.
Stopped at Coffee-O for a double mocha latte and then hit Kappy's to resupply the beer, wine and Captain Morgan. Quick stop at the grocery store as well.
Mrs was at a local medical facility all day for her clinical rotation and will be again on Sunday. My plan is to try to get a good chunk of outside work accomplished. I started sinking wooden fence posts for the soon-to-be dog play area. More on that as it develops!

So glad you got a good one and could stretch out a bit to work off that cabin fever.
We had a beaut Friday actually hit 80, yesterday was OK and I am pretty sure that was the end. 27 degrees this AM.
You can really appreciate a nice day when winter beckons. I'm glad you made the most of it.
Congratulations on being able to run/jog for a long time. I can't even walk far without panting now.
