for the first time since college....

i have MLK day OFF!!!!!!

which would explain why i didn't care that the snowplow going down my street at 4 a.m. was loud and brightly lit.
this is also the first time that i can remember being jarred from sleep by a snowplow. i guess that's one thing my taxes are paying for. but i'm not sure it made much difference. the snow was not deep to begin with, and now, it's a slippery mess outside. that didn't stop me from venturing out to the gym this morning though. and yes, i rid my car of ice while wearing shorts.
shorts.
i know.
i'm crazy.
but seriously, the only thing that got too cold were my poor, gloveless fingers.

and now, for a random tidbit : in the past 3 days, i've run 14 miles. go me!
