Just a short run.

5:44 am, 29° F, 66% humidity, winds calm.

I smelled donuts this time.

AP: 9:23. Splits: 9:41, 9:31, 9:04, 0.25 @ 8:49.

P.S. It's snowing now. I guess the upside of getting out early to run is that I got out before the snow came.

OH, goodness! Donuts sound so good right now! I am not sure I could have tolerated that smell, I would have to had to find them!

It is cold there! WOW!!!

Have a great week Carolyn.

There is always an up side to a morning run. Besides you missing the snow, you are now done!!! I miss that about running after work, so much harder to get it all done.

I am picturing Kelli staring inside the window of a Krispy Kreme shop watching as the donuts travel along the river of oil. She has a pair of mittens on and a beanie. There's a trickle of snot running down her face. A puff of hot breath fogs the window and obstructs her view. She wipes the window clean with her mitten. Her tongue protrudes out to stop the flow of snot. Those donuts look so good. How she wishes someone would come out and offer her one. As the tears freeze to her eyelashes she takes off on her run again. One last wiff of sugary goodness and she tries to put it behind her. Someday. Someday.

If I run an 8 mile route, I can run past Krispy Kreme, but I only have to do a 3 mile route to run past Lamar's, which has much better donuts in my opinion. That's the donut shop I ran past this morning. I've got $5 in my pocket and I'm seriously considering stopping by Lamar's now, but I'm trying to resist.

Hahaha. Yeah, no way I could have passed that up, with or without money. I probably would have stopped and begged for some. Good start to the week.

I love snow! (And donuts, a big no-no for me)

From Burt on Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 11:34:36 from 206.19.214.144

Stay strong Carolyn.

Beating the weather is a great feeling!

Now I'm going to have to stop by for some donuts on the way home today.

From Kelli on Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 19:53:09 from 71.219.65.246

Burt, you nailed that image!!

So, did you stay strong? I totally would have given in.

Hooray for snow! It is snowing like mad here up on the mountain, but not in town. Enjoy the snowy runs!

From april27 on Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 20:46:16 from 99.188.251.180

Yeah snowy run. I love snow when it isn't windy--makes the Earth sooo incredibly quiet!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 08:51:13 from 24.8.167.243

I opted for a Chik-fil-A chicken biscuit instead of a donut.

From Kelli on Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 13:11:27 from 71.219.65.246

OH, Chick Fil A is the absolute best!!! Do they have the chocolate mint shakes there this time of year? You MUST try one!!!
