Flowers in February

It’s amazing how Mother Nature gets so easily confused with a couple of warm days. A few years ago, I wrote about seeing dandelions in February. Today it’s the Forsythias that are already starting to bloom after a record high yesterday of 75. I’m not complaining too much though — it’s been a cold, but very dry winter around here. I’m looking forward to the spring and running without layers. But still, it’s a little too early for this:

As far as running goes, I ran a little more than a mile last night in shorts and short sleeves — probably the first time I’ve been in short sleeves since the marathon. Then I got up and ran 3.4 miles this morning, my first decent distance run since before the stomach virus hit. My lungs and legs felt pretty bad, but I’m glad I could get back out there.

    It's only February, you could wake up to a foot of snow tomorrow. Well, that's how it works in Wisconsin anyway.

    But yea, it's been unseasonably warm here too, and I've been noticing lots of lucky peeps out running in shorts.
