running into spring


After a winter of yoga podcasts, jumping rope, workout dvds that I can now quote (HipHop Abs dvds provide quite the hilarity if you're willing to have a sense of humor about them) and otherwise wishing I could be outside...it's warm(ish) enough to run again!

April is spring whether Mongolia wants to get that memo or not (it's supposed to snow for three days this weekend and it's all of 21 degrees outside right now).

And so it is that last week I put on the layers and got to start doing one of the things I've missed the most again- running.


Isn't this a happy face? :-)

And in honor of my desire to run my way into the spring season- The Things I Will and Will Not Miss About Winter in Mongolia list.


What I will miss about winter:

1.) Snow covered mountains.

2.) Milk tea.

3.) Babies bundled up in their winter gear.

4.) Wrapping up in blankets.

5.) Watching our breath in the cold air.


What I will not miss about winter:

1.) Shivering.

2.) My hair freezing.

3.) Chillblains. Trust me, no fun.

4.) Slipping on icy sidewalks.

5.) Wearing lots of layers.


Here's to hoping that spring continues to arrive!
