What is up with this weather?

Last Sunday, was March 29th, Matt was signed up to run in the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8k and we woke up to this...




So, Matt decided to bail. The Shamrock Shuffle is known as the opening to the running season, it wasn't worth the drive to the city, parking and then risking injury. It was a good decision not to go, we talked to a few people that went and said it was miserable and they were still cold several hours later. The problem wasn't that it was snowing, it had rained first so it was slushy out, and the snow was the wet heavy snow, not the light fluffy stuff. Since I didn't spend my morning spectating at a race, I decided to bake Banana Bread, for the first time, ever. It came out quite good, if you ask me ...














It warmed up on Monday and the snow melted and it was a fairly decent week out, windy, but not to bad. Luckly we had nice weather yesterday - well nice compaired to last weekend, it was on and off sunny and in the upper 30's, and Matt was able to run in the First Annual Bunny Dash 5k in Palatine. He placed 3rd over-all, and won his age group with a time of 16:59. A few of the guys that are using the same on-line coaching for Ironman were there. It's nice to keep seeing this group of guys at different events, they are all very supportive of each other, and always have positive things to say. Matt received a metal for placing 3rd over all.


We are currently in the process of refinancing. We have been approved for the new loan, and have the apprasial of the house tomorrow morning. So we've been organizing a few things and weeding out some of the stuff that just piles up. We're using this as good motivation to do some much needed spring cleaning. So I guess, I should end this here and move on with my day, even though I'm lacking motivation, which seems to be the normal trend on Sundays for me. Have a great week!
