Yeah, right, don't I wish. This picture was actually taken on April 20 of last year. Right now there is still a foot of snow in this spot in my yard. And the forecast is for up to ten inches of the white stuff over the next 48 hours. Arrgh! Will Spring never come to the Northwoods!

You have a lot of interesting project going on. This is the first time I've visited your blog and I'm intrigued by the combination of medical work (you’re going to Africa!), book promotion, general life and exercise. I think you should definitely keep up with the 5k mission. When I was at college 3.2km was my goal (one lap of the park), and I've just started training for my first half marathon, so you never know where it might take you.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, as you have guessed, our weather has been horrid and I haven't been able to run outside very much. And I just can't run in the house; I get too bored. But I will keep working on working my way up to the 5K.
DeleteWOW! That's a lot of yellow for sure! You deserve a pat on the back for all of that. Did you reward yourself in some way for all the hard work?
ReplyDeleteHmm? I never thought of rewarding myself. I don't have time for that!
